Step Seven:
Now we're going to turn that action into
what's called a droplet. Here's what a
droplet does: If you leave Photoshop and
find a photo on your computer, and you
drag-and-drop the photo right onto this
droplet, the droplet automatically launches
Photoshop, opens that photo, and applies
that Soften Finishing Effect action to the
photo you dropped on there. Then it
saves and closes the photo automatically,
because you recorded those two steps as
part of the action. Pretty sweet. So, to
make a droplet, go under Photoshop's File
menu, under Automate, and choose
Create Droplet
(as shown here).
Step Eight:
This brings up the Create Droplet dialog
(shown here). At the top of the dialog,
click the Choose button, choose your
desktop as the destination for saving
your droplet, and then name your drop-
let “Soften.” Now, in the Play section
of this dialog, make sure to choose
Soften Finishing Effect
(that's what
we named our action earlier) from the
Action pop-up menu (as shown here).
That's it—you can ignore the rest of
the dialog, and just click OK.
