Get Sketch Selection - For this, makesure you have your sketch
layer selectedbefore you run the action. If you’re work-ing on
multiple layers to create a sketchyou can use the “The Flatten to
New Lay-er” action before running the “Get Sketch”action.
Reduce Size of Big File - If you have anunusually large
Photoshop le with manylayers, the generation of the previewof the
image is responsible for much ofthe le’s size. If you select the
top layer and run this action a blank white layer
will cover up the art, making for a sim-pler preview when you
save out. You canchange the “Art Ttle” to make the previewmore
recognizable.
