2. I can't take the quizzes!
The PanosFX quizzes are interactive tools that will help you develop your Photoshop skills. You need to login in order to take the site quizzes, track your past results and monitor your performance.
Please read the terms of use for each action. There are 2 categories of free PanosFX actions:
i) The free actions that can be used with no restrictions (they are found in the main menu, under Photoshop Downloads > Free stuff).
i) The free actions that can be used with no restrictions (they are found in the main menu, under Photoshop Downloads > Free stuff).
ii) The free actions that are part of a commercial set (they are found in Photoshop Downloads > Commercial & free stuff). If you want to use them commercially you must purchase the full product.
Immediately after you login the user menu shows up on the left column of the home page. Use it to edit your login details. If you forgot your username / password you can use the reminder button on the login form. If you forgot your password a new temporary one will be sent to you. Use it to login and then use the user menu to change the password to preference.
The great advantage of Photoshop actions is that they are platform independent. Therefore the only thing you should check is whether a particular add-on is compatible with your PS / PSE version.To find out the Photoshop / PSE versions an add-on is compatible with please click the "Compatibility" tab at the product pages.
The files you download are compressed in zip format. You can use any decompressing utility to decompress the files. If you don't know how to install the files please click on the "Installation" tab, at the product page or read the respective tutorials under Tips & Tutorials > Using the downloads.
