Part 1: Get ready

Step 1: Make a Facebook folder

We need a folder to save our Facebook images, ready for uploading. Make a folder on your Desktop and name it “Facebook Images Ready” or something like that.

Step 2: Open an image

To record steps in an action, you have to perform them. And you can’t edit thin air, so to speak.

So open an image – any image, it doesn’t really matter.

Step 3: Duplicate the layer

For this to work, we need an image with layers in it. If your image doesn’t have any additional layers, just make one by duplicating your background layer, or whatever. We’re going to record a “Flatten” step in our action.

(Got any questions? Just log in then comment below and I'll respond. It's free and easy to make a user profile if you don't already have one.)
