Hi Mark
You asked in your email to "let you know" if we wanted to get emails in HTML but your from address is "no-reply@"
Zackly how do we let you know?
And, I'd change that note in your email to at least link to a form - you could solicit feedback and collect the email address you want to switch to HTML
Of course, I always prefer to get feedback on the blog as comments - but that doesn't allow for the identification needed to do the old HTML switcheroo
Love your stuff!

I am getting an error when downloading the .zip file and I'm really bummed because I am working on a project that would really benefit from this action!

Katrina :: Thanks for letting me know. Is there anyone else having trouble downloading the ZIP file? Because I am unable to see the problem on my end.
Hi Rick :: Great points there. Yea I'm hesitating to change the reply address as my inbox gets bombarded. I'm trying hard to direct users to the blog so the pace is more structured. Maybe I'll make a separate post later about the HTML bit. Thanks!

Mark, I tested using the same screen shot for all three positions. The big number 3 in the right hand side appears in the final PSD. And when I change the background color to black the left hand screen reflection does not multiply. It knocks out instead. Probably my error, but thought you might want to know.

Cody :: Make sure the Template Layers are invisible first, before running the Action. They are only there as a guide for you.
Nick :: If that's the case, then you can make the screenshots larger to fit the template. After pasting screenshot, go to > Edit > Free Transform. Resize the final rendered version to fit your website. You'll shouldn't notice any resampling after this.
Derek :: Do you have another computer you can try? Because there is a problem the way Photoshop is performing, it's not directly related to the Script.

Sorry, one more thing. The 1680 x 1050 copy in the middle image stays as well.

very timely action! I have a client that I need to show, and this action will help me impress him.
HOWEVER, when I design websites, I mainly target them for 970px wide monitors....that's what stats show is the most common for today's monitors. Is there a way to decrease the size of the template for something a little smaller than the huge 1680x1050 resolution?
Hope this makes sense. I suppose I can try and manually do it somehow.

I had no problem opening it, But I got an error when I ran the first action "Could not complete your request because of a program error" And it locked it into a loop that I could not get out of without force quitting PS4. I have tried it 3 times and get the same result. But IT does look like it has essentially finished the action because I see the finished 1,2,3 screen panels on screen before this error pops up.
Not sure what this is. I am running it in PS CS4.
Thanks so much for what you do

Mark,
Thanks for the free action script dude, much appreciated. FYI I'd prefer your emails to be formatted in html.
Looking forward to the launch of CAP 2.0!

Derek, sorry I deleted your comment by accident, I was trying to reply, but I clicked on "Edit" and when I inserted my message it replaced yours!. Derek is still having trouble using the Action.
Derek :: Have you tried slowing down the speed of the Action? On the Action palette menu go to “Playback Options” then choose “Step-by-step”. Let me know if that makes a difference.

Awesome, didn't try it yet but I'm sure I won't have a problem. I've been doing screenshots like those by hand...boy, my life will be easier now!
Got all your stuff Mark, new version looks like its gonna be awesome.
Take care,
Scott

It worked this time... Maybe my layers were not ordered correctly on the first go. Thanks! Cody

Have you ever considered selling actions individually?

Paul, yes I have. But I have a better idea. Can't say yet until CAP2 is out.

Mark Great tutorial, I am working on designing my own site and have another great tool to design a logo. Photoshop Top Secret was and still is the tutorial that gives us the creative edge...Thanks for sharing.

I just had a hard drive crash and don't have a backup of your earlier version of Cover Action Pro. Is there any way to get another copy of that? I can't find anything on the site to indicate if that's possible.
I'm looking forward to 2.0 and would like to know when that is going to be available? Until then, I could really use the older version as soon as possible!
Hi Mark, thanks for the share. I tried it, but the action somehow is missing some steps (gradient). The output doesn't produced a gradient shadow/mirror. It's full with just 50% opacity. Any idea?
Thanks

Hi Ryan,
Yes I've seen this before. What version of PS are you using? Win or Mac?

I'm using Photoshop CS3. For now, I just did it manually for all three layers.
P.S. I applaud you for distinguishing it correctly (Windows over PC).
