Photoshop Actions to convert 4t2 beddings
After several tries, I managed to make actions to convert TS4 beddings into TS2 beddings with a few clicks. It requires CS3 and higher. If you don’t own it, just download the file anyway 😏
Tutorial under the cut
The .atn file should be placed in AppData > Roaming > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop CS3 > Presets > Actions
First, you’ll need a bedding and a pillow texture. Let’s say you extracted this :
First, cut the bedding texture to have this :
Make sur the size is exactly 515x512px. Resize it if needed.
Select the entire texture (Ctrl+A), copy (Ctrl+C), and close the texture.
Open the .psd included. Don’t change any Layer name.
Once the .psd is open, run the bedding action ! There are two of them : original one, and “mirrored” one. It depends on the texture you’ll use. Try the first one to get used to it (the texture I show needs this action, not the mirrored one).
Make sure you did not copy any other texture in the process : you need the 515x512 texture copied in your clipboard.
The action will paste the bedding texture and place it properly on the layer.
You’ll have this :
Then, let’s do the pillows.
You’ll need two textures with the exact same size. Place one of the top of the other one to have something like this :
You don’t need them to have an identical texture. You can do something like this if you want :
Then flatten your image and resize it if needed to be at the exact size of 162x187px
Copy and close the pillows texture to only have your .psd opened, and use the pillows action. It will also paste your texture and place it properly on the .psd. And you’ll have this :
Then, you can select the layer named “bottom” and recolor it the way you want. I usually use the Image > Adjustments > Photo Filter option. You can apply any color you want with these settings :
And tadaaaaaa :
Save your work as .png, and use it to recolor as you usually do.
The difference between the normal and “mirrored” version of the beddings actions is this :
Normal :
Mirrored :
The mirrored may be useful when the texture have some kind of details on the very edges so it can be applied on both sides of the single bedding. You might need to move from 1 to 3px the beddings parts to align aesthetically but for that, I’ll let you learn by yourself as it’s hard to explain. You’ll understand by trying a few times :)
This is just a base for the beginners, but obviously feel free to get creative if you are experimented enough with Photoshop !
