PS 2020: MAKE NEW CHANNEL Command

[José Eduardo]

When running an Action on PS2020 she stops at the command: "The command make is not currently avaiable"
Make channel
At mask channel
Using: Reveal selection

How to solve this?

 

[colleague]

is there a layer selected, that is not the background-layer ?
can you make printscreen with layer-window vissible ?

 

[José Eduardo]

No, the selected layer is the Background. It is visible. The Action is: Animated Ink - Ink by Sreda.
Look:

 

[colleague]

you can't make a mask on the background-layer

 

[colleague]

is it this action

it says in step2 to "create a layer with the name "brush"
but I don't see that layer in your printscreen

 

[José Eduardo]

I have Animated Link Flow and it works perfectly. But I am stubborn, I want to use exactly what gives a headache !!!

Hi Jose
It would probably help if we saw the entire Layer Stack and have each step of the Action steps expanded (click on the right arrows)
For example, the Action Step that is selected is looking for Layer "Mask" yet that Layer is not shown in your Layer Stack. That would cause an issue if it does not exist. So hard to debug without all of the details
Just a suggestion

PS - looks like a cool action especially the animated GIF they show

 

[José Eduardo]

Would this be enough?

 

[thebestcpu]

How about a full snapshot of your Layers too?

 

[colleague]

I found this video from Sreda
and it says " create layer and name it "mask"

do you have created this layer ?

 

[José Eduardo]

The instructions tell you to create a new layer and name it MASK. I'm sending the layers as the action commands where to stop.

 

[thebestcpu]

I am not exactly sure where the issue is and maybe @colleague will spot something more likely.
The only thing I spotted that is different that what I saw in the video post by colleague is that your Background Layer is no longer labeled as such where as in the video it always Keeps that name. I do know that if you try and create a mask on the Background Layer it will comply yet then rename your Layer as Layer 0. From the Action steps it is still trying to reference the Layer "Background" yet it is not there.
As I said, I am not sure this is the issue yet if you created a Layer Mask on the Background Layer before running the Action, that could be your issue. There is no where in the video where I saw the Background Layer converted to having a mask. Or it could be a bug in the Action itself.
That is the first discrepancy that stood out to me.
As I said, that may not be the issue .

If I am correct the action stops at
Make channel
At mask channel
Using: Reveal selection

and at that moment the layer " Layer1 copy 4" is selected

if there is nothing selected at that moment , it is not possible to make a mask from a selection

is that the case ?

otherwise it is very difficult to test without having the action

 

[José Eduardo]

I have the action here. It is a 19.629Kb .rar file. I don't know if I could send it to you. Whether it would be against the Forum rules. If I can send it, just let me know that I send the file.

Whether it would be against the Forum rules.

Have you read the rules? Why would you think it would be against the rules?

Why would you think it would be against the rules?

So it is allowed to share stuff you have to pay for???

As another item to check are the requirements for this Action from Mike Sreda. It has a couple restrictions. It gives recommendation for help including how to use the support page. I bet getting help from the resources or from the author directly might get you there quicker. Hope this helps some.

Well, Thebestcpu -)), I haven't read your last post yet but I just made some adjustments here, based on this I will create a Tamplate. It's still not what I want it to be, but the result, albeit poor, can be seen in the gif attached

Hi José

An interesting and apparently a very complicated Photoshop Action. Apparently you are able to successfully use the animated GIF portion of the Animated Ink Action.

However, it was not clear to me that your problems with the Action are now solved or not. If possible, would you clarify if you got things working and/or if you need any more help. Also, if things are fixed, what was the key issue in getting it to work? That information might very well be helpful to a future Forum member that attempts to use the same Actions.
