Use Jpeg or Png images to run the Action on.Once an Action has been tested and working on a version of Photoshop, it will always work. If you like this Action but is not supported on your version of Photoshop, you can always install an additional version of Photoshop to run the Action on. With Adobe Creative Cloud, you can install multiple versions of Photoshop.Even if your photo is only 1000px at the long dimension, scale it up much larger.

Use high-resolution photos with the Action for the best results and to avoid errors.
