1. Re: trouble recording 25% fill in an action
R_Kelly Apr 2, 2012 2:18 PM (in response to q38)I seem to recall that changed in a previous version of photoshop, maybe because the action would record the first number one would type.
For example if you wanted 25% fill opacity the action would record 2% and 25%, so having to hit the enter key ensures just one value gets recorded.
I just got in a habit of double clicking the layer thumbnail and setting the fill opacity in the layer styles dialog when recording actions.
Also that was the only way to set the fill opacity in photoshop 6.

2. Re: trouble recording 25% fill in an action
q38 Apr 2, 2012 2:35 PM (in response to R_Kelly)Thank you, opening the styles dialog is another workaround that I just learned from you, it does work.
Yes, I remember deleting the first number to be recorded.
Photoshop is to be praised in that it often gives a professional different ways to do a task. However changing fill directly is the most straight forward, and it has inserted bugs into my actions when what happens and what is recorded are different.
