Re: Lite Bite for Photoshop: Creating Custom Actions
by Tosca Lahiri

Hello, I am creating an action set that opens a file in which I have created layers as variables to do pixel replacements. The data set is a txt file. And all works OK when I do it manually. However, not all the actions are being recorded.

I have the actions working as far as image>variables>data sets. But after that the commands are not being recorded. I have tried insert menu item but going further than “data sets” is not being recorded. So," import>select file>ok>use first row as... >replace existing data>ok>apply>ok" is not being recorded.
How should I be doing this please?

Thanks, Tosca
