2. Automated Cool Frames User Guide
There are only few things you should know before start using actions to automate
placement of image and replacement of background (usually) pattern:
Do not change template if you plan to use actions. It is desired to duplicate template
and to change size/resolution as needed but do not change layer names, order in
layers stack and do not create any additional layer in between existing.
There are two (2) actions to replace background pattern: Replace Bgr Border and
Replace Bgr Border (Effect). Bgr Border is my naming convection for layer with
background pattern which has attached layer mask. The differnce is that some
templates have Drop Shadow effect applied to Bgr Border layer and in that case run
Replace Bgr Border (Effect) action.
Bonus Styles
I created 6 styles which should be applied to Frame layer. To load styles navigate to
Frame Styles.asl file and double click it. Select Frame layer then click style icon in
Styles panel.

5. Play Action
To play any action select it in Actions panel then click Play button at the bottom
of Actions panel. There are only three (3) actions: Place Image to place image you
want to use and Replace Bgr Border actions to replace background image/pattern.
You can place image in any way you want but with action you will save couple of
extra clicks. Replace Bgr Border actions are more complex and will save you couple
of clicks plus action will create proper layer mask and apply layer effect Drop
Shadow (Replace Bgr Border (Effect) action) to newly placed background. Existing
background image will be deleted.

6. Actions Index
After loading actions you will see total of 3 actions. Here I will list and explain what
each of actions is doing.
• Place Image action will select Your Image layer and invoke Replace Contents
command which will open Place dialog to navigate to image you want to use.
• Replace Bgr Border action will select Bgr Border layer and open Place dialog to
navigate to image/graphic you want to use as background. After placing image/
graphic you will be able to scale and reposition it. Immediatelly after you confirm
placement action will replicate layer mask from original Bgr Border layer and
delete it because you do not need it anymore. You can use this and any other action
as many times as you want in the same document.
• Replace Bgr Border (Effect) is doing exact same thing as above described with
addition of copying layer effect Drop Shadow from original Bgr Border layer.
