------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: What's dimension were used in the preview images?

A: 2198 x 1576 Pixels at 72 DPI - 7.3 x 5.2 Inches at 300 DPI

Q: I deleted the "Up" action because it didn't anything when I tested. Now when I run an action, they do not work anymore.

A: The "Up" action is needed in order to create the 3D effect. DO NOT DELETE THIS ACTION! If you delete by mistake, simply delete the "3D Styles" folder in the actions panel and reload the original file.

Q: I keep getting the error message "The object 'layer' chrome copy 49 is not currently available".

A: Your layer must be named "chrome" all lowercase and no quotes.

Q: I keep getting the error message "The command "Make" is not currently available".

A: This occurs when you have already created a 3D render. Simple convert the grouped folder "Chrome" into a smart object or merge the group.

Q: Is it possible to edit the rendered styles and effects?

A: Absolutely! Each layer has blending options available for you to edit and tweak to create your own unique variation.

Q: How do I edit the amount of highlights and gloss on the 3D render?

A: Simply right click on the layer named "Chrome Main Texture" and click "Blending Options" and edit the "Bevel & Emboss" and "Satin" options.

Q: Can I edit my text after I've rendered the 3D effect?

A: Unfortunately, no. There isn't a way to create this type of 3D effect without using certain techniques that require you to rasterize specific layers.
