Description
A photoshop action that allows you to rain on everybody's parade ..The steps in the action are based on a tutorial published in Issue 14 of Digital Creative Arts.
It was created in Photoshop CS on a PC. I have no idea if it works with previous versions of PS, or with a Mac.
for anybody interested, the preview image is of the Hill of Uisneach in Ireland, where it should have been raining .. but it wasn't ..

actually, when i lived in Dublin, it was the driest summer on record.
St Stephens Green became St Stephens Yellow, and rain dances were done in Grafton Street.

the comments on my gallery are appreciated, but also you're the first to critique either of the PS actions i've posted in terms of their usefulness. feedback like yours really helps.

there's nothing wrong .. the message is just the first part of the action. if you have already selected an image to 'actioned' then just click the 'play' icon again, and it should continue running the rest of the action.
or, press 'stop', then open an image, then continue by clicking 'play' again ..

1. First download the action .atn file, by clicking on the download link (the downoward poinitng arrow icon). Next save the action file on your system somewhere you can easily find them.
2. Open Photoshop.
3. Next, go to the Actions Palette. (if you do not see the Action Palette in the Photoshop workspace, goto Window> Actions (or Windows>Show Actions if you're not using CS). Click on the Palette Option button (the triangular icon just under the red X button) and choose Load Actions from the pop up menu.
4. Browse to the location of the action .atn file that you downloaded and doubleclick the action file, and it will load into your Actions files.
5. This one will laod a folder called Rain. Open up the folder and you will see the 'Rain' action just below the folder. Click the action name (not the folder) and click play (the third icon from the left at the bottom of the dialog box) to run the action.
6. Sit back and watch in wonder as PS does it's stuff ..
