hey guys, i remember having a photoshop action that takes a selection, grabs the pixels around it's edge, and duplicates them out around the selection, giving each selection island a pixel width of padding. anyone know what i'm talking about, and where i can find this badboy?
Select > Modify > Expand by 1 pixel ... is what you're after? or Border..? Hard to tell from your wording. But try both and record the action yourself..
This works just fine. The script warns you in advance that you cannot use an anti-aliased selection, keep in mind that the data you want to expand from also needs to have non-anti-aliased edges for it to work fine. Thanks for the action Eric and Vrav.
Cool, glad people are still using this. The zip on my site has some installation & usage notes, might help. The action in the zip is the same as what's on vrav's site. Xnormal's filter is cool too, it lets you specify how much bleed you want. But it requires all the art to be on the same layer, and the empty areas need to…
