Great tip man. This will be a nice time saver! Thanks
Glad it helps! Thanks for watching Ludde!
I seem to have a problem. After I make my custom panel, I can’t seem to find it in my Windows/Extensions menu in Ps. Any ideas?
Never mind, it worked when I put the folder containing my panel inside the “Panels” folder.
Thanks. This are a great tut. Now I’ll go try this ;0)
You’re welcome!
