Can Actions be used by anything else?

**starlord** · 02-07-2008, 08:05 AM

I've recently picked up resell rights to a collection of Photoshop Actions and My friend and I are trying to build a FAQ to help people decide if it will help them ... one of the first questions my mate thought up was "Can you use these in any other program?" .. and to be truthful I have no idea as I have only ever used Photoshop ... all the way back to version 3 which came on half a dozen floppys ... anyone help with this one?...

Also any questions / answers you think I should should include?

Do a search for the file extension. Their are several sites that help identify files. Chances are any other software will be listed there along with PS.

If I could have recalled the ext. I could have looked it upu faster than I typed this.

Actions created for Photoshop will ONLY work in Phootshop since the actions are nothing more than macros for keystrokes, mouse clicks used IN Photoshop. Some simple ones MAY work in Photoshop Elements.

internet is like ... although I do now know how to build a atomic bomb
