Download and installation
This week's collection is compressed using Stuffit from Aladdin Systems. The Stuffit Expander is a free utility for Macintosh, Linux, Windows and Solaris that can be downloaded here. Chances are you already have it on your system. If not, download and install it. You can also configure your browser to decompress files of the ".sit" type automatically using Expander.

Download: Nagel Series 1 Borders (4 KB)[an error occurred while processing this directive]Once you download this tiny file (NagelSeries1Borders.sit), double-click the file to decompress it, or drag it over the Stuffit Expander application icon. After the file is decompressed (NagelSeries1Borders.abr), move it into the following directory: /Adobe Photoshop 7/Presets/Photoshop Actions.



Then launch Photoshop. Open your Actions palette, and click on the flyaway menu at the top right. There you'll find the new Action collection, which you can install simply by selecting it. After you select it, the new Actions will appear at the bottom of the list of available Actions.



To use these, simply select any one of them from the Actions palette and click the Play button. You can also expand the view of each action to see the individual steps, then double-click these to modify them to your liking.

That's it. If you have any questions, be sure to visit me in our Adobe Photoshop forum here.
