The add-on contains 3 groups of Photoshop actions:
- The first group is called 'SOLO STAMP'. These actions let you turn a photo into a postage stamp.
- The second group is called 'CREATE A COLLAGE MADE OF STAMPS'. With these actions you can create photo collages with stamps put together to reveal one photo. These actions create 6 different collages.
- The third group is called 'ADDITIONAL ACTIONS'. These creative actions let you create digital envelopes from scratch, and add various customizable postmarks to your images.
GROUP 1: 'Solo' Stamps:
These actions let you create postage stamps of landscape, portrait or square shape. At first you define the preferred stamp size and then you add your photo and text.
GROUP 2: Create a Collage made of Postage Stamps:

2 x (Square + Square)
2 x (Landscape + Landscape)
2 x (Portrait + Portrait)

GROUP 3: Spice it up with the Additional Actions:
The actions in the third group let you create additional design elements, which you can use with your stamps.
Add customizable vector postmarks:
There are 4 postmark-making actions, which create two different round postmarks, an air-mail postmark and a waved pattern.
All postmark layers are made of vector graphics, allowing you to resize them freely without losing quality. You can also double click any of their layers and customize the postmark color to your liking.
Create your custom envelopes:
Finally, the third group contains two actions that create from scratch envelopes of landscape and square shape.
You define the envelope size, its color and texture, the color of the surrounding blocks.
In summary, the PanosFX "Postage Stamps" Photoshop actions offer a variety of tools for creating impressive projects inspired by traditional postage stamp themes.
