Embedding Paths Into Actions

 

If you’re creating actions and you want your action to include a path that you’ve created, you can do that, but you have to draw your path first, before you record your action. Once you’ve drawn your path, and it comes to the part of your action that requires the path, go to the Action palette’s flyout menu, choose Insert Path, and that path will be stored along with the action.

Once You’re In CMYK Mode, Stay There

You’ve read some techniques in this chapter that require you to be in either RGB mode or Lab Color mode; however, if for any reason your image is already in CMYK mode, do not (I repeat, do not) convert to RGB or Lab mode for any reason. Once you’ve converted to CMYK mode, the data loss from the conversion has already occurred, and switching back to RGB mode won’t bring back those lost colors. What’s worse is, if you switch from CMYK to RGB (or Lab), when you convert back to CMYK mode, you’ll go through another CMYK conversion and damage your image even more. The moral of this story is-once you’re in CMYK mode, stay there.
