All I wanted to do was make a photo look like it was slotted into the corners of a vintage photo album page. My first test worked really well but recreating a similar result within the confines of a Photoshop action took a lot of working out and many, many hours of trial and error (mostly error).

The first thing it does is make a copy of your photo so the original will be untouched and safe. There&#8217;s a lot of things for Photoshop to do with this action so it may take a minute or two to run through. As with most actions, the size of your image will effect the final effect and I&#8217;d suggest starting with a photo 3000 pixels (longest edge) or bigger.<\/p>\n<p>The action will work with Photoshop CC, CS6, CS4, CS4 and CS3 but because it uses &#8220;Warp Transform&#8221; it WILL NOT work \u00a0with any version of Elements, sorry.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Usage rules<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>The action is copyright Gavin Hoey 2014.
