How to use Preset Actions

Step 1: Open your photo in Photoshop. I'm using CS5 for this tutorial, but it should also work on other versions of Photoshop.

Step 2: On the menu bar, go to Windows>Actions to open your Actions panel.

Step 3: Click on this symbol , located at the upper right corner of the Actions panel and select Load Actions.

Step 4: Search for the .atn file and open it.

Step 5: The action set should appear at the bottom of your Action list.

Step 6: Click on the triangle beside the Action set to open it. Select the action inside it and click on Play .

Step 7: And you're done! I didn't include merging all the layers in the action set, so feel free to play around with the Adjusment Layers until you're satisfied. :)
