A zipped file is what all products are first downloaded as onto your computer. This keeps them all in place and organized for when you are ready to dive into your product’s individual folders.

A zip file is sometimes called an “archive” file. The zip file itself is really just a container… it holds the real files inside it. The purpose behind the zip file is transportation and storage. The zip file acts like a ziploc sandwich bag – it holds contents inside for easy transporting and storage. This makes zip files very valuable to file sharers and downloaders. 

A zip file achieves three things: It bundles one or more files into a single container file. It compresses (archives) its contents to be as much as 90% smaller size.

Within Module 3 you will find tutorials on how to unzip your files, for both PC and Mac.

• To unzip your file you must right click each individual zipped file, then select ‘extract all’ or ‘unzip’
• Next it might give you the option to choose where you want your extracted folders to go. Be sure you know where you zip file has been saved on your computer so you can easily find it later. You might also have the option to open your extracted files right away after the extraction is complete in a new window.
• Clicking on the individual folders will take you to the different file types that need to be uploaded. Each collection type (actions, brushes, templates, etc.) will need to be uploaded separately.

Now What? 

Clicking on the individual folders will take you to the different file types that need to be uploaded. Each collection type (actions, brushes, templates, overlays, etc.) will need to be uploaded separately into Photoshop and Photoshop Elements as they contain different file types (PSD, PNG, ABR, ATN, etc.). They cannot all be uploaded the same way. Here you will see how they are uploaded:

• How to Use and Upload Brushes in Photoshop
• How to Install Photoshop Actions 
• How to Install and Use Photoshop Overlays
• How to upload actions, brushes, and overlays in Photoshop Elements

To open templates (PSD), logo’s (PSD), posters (PSD), or individual overlays (PNG, JPEG), you simply need to go to File>open. To further help, there are instructional layers in each of the templates/overlays, and most actions contain ‘stops’ which are messages that help you along the way as your play your actions. Some collections will even contain actions that help you apply your overlays directly to your images.

Some of the bigger collections have been split in half and come as two separate downloads (one download for the overlays and one download for the actions, for example) and it will be a separate file available for download in your account instead of being included in your zipped file.

The reason for this is that the action collection might be used for several other collections, and we wanted to help you avoid having to download the same action collection multiple times, thus taking up room on your hard drive. Another reason we split them up, is because of the fact that the PNG/JPEG overlay files are 300DPI (HUGE) files. While they are huge for a great reason (high resolution printing) they can take longer to download. Splitting the downloads helps lessen the time since your zipped file will not be as huge and your download time will not be as long.

Your separate downloads will be labeled differently in your account, and may not always be next to each other.

"I am getting an `Error 1 (or 2)` when I try to unzip my file on my MAC computer?"

You may encounter one of the following errors when trying to unzip your files on a mac computer when you do not have enough space to expand your file:

“Unable to expand “{my file}” into “{my folder}”.

(Error 2 – No such file or directory.)”

“Unable to expand “{my file}” into “{my folder}”.

(Error 1 – Operation not permitted.)”

“Reasons of unzip files on Mac error 1 or 2: 
Typically, you receive ‘unable to expand zip file Mac error 2 or 1’ due to lack of folder permission where you are expanding the file. You may not have assigned correct location to expand the file. The unzip error Mac also occurs if there is not enough free disk space to expand the file.

Fix unzip error Mac: 
In order to expand zipped files on Mac, you should make sure that you have appropriate permission on both zipped file and destination folder. You also need to feed correct location where you are expanding the zipped file. You should make sure that there is enough free space on Mac hard disk to perform the operation. If you are to expand about 200MB file then there must be at least 400MB free disk space for successful unzip operation.”

You can see instructions on how to check your computers memory here. Be sure to free up some space, then try to unzip your file again.

"I cannot find the other part of my collection (overlays/actions) in my zipped file. Why is that?"

After placing your order, you’ll be granted immediate login details to your account on Summerana.com.  Once you log in, and find the product you wish to download, the files (zip) will be located directly within the product.   

You can also find a direct product index at the bottom of this page, which will lead you directly to the product you seek.

Please visit our Course Module to find all of our tutorials and video workshops.  Here you will have easy access to tutorials explaining how to use your specific product.

We recommend using a professional lab for optimal printing results! Always preview your final print product before completing your lab order to make sure everything is perfect. We use Millers Lab specs for our templates.

Some of our products have text layers in the PSD file which are the instruction layers. This is here to help you use the product, and it is meant to be deleted/hidden before editing/flattening your file. To hide this layer you can simply click the layer “eyes” to hide it, or to delete it, you can drag the layers to the trash bin.

If you open your psd logo file in Photoshop, you’ll notice there is a Guide layer which has your instructions. After reading the instructions on how to edit your logo, you’ll need to hide this layer by clicking the eye or you can drag the layer to the trash bin. To edit your text and colors, you’ll need to double click the ‘T’ on your text layer, and double click the color box that is clipped to your logo design.

When you are done customizing your logo, make sure your logo layer is selected, then go to File>Merge to merge all of your text, colors, design to one layer that can then be dragged onto your images. Feel free to delete any other hidden layers to clean up your final psd file. You may save your logo (make sure the background is still transparent, do not flatten your logo) as a png, or keep it as a psd file.

Layer masks are an alternative to the Eraser Tool in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. If you see a layer mask attached to your layer, you can use it to reveal or conceal your layer without erasing it for good. A white layer mask reveals, a black layer mask conceals. You use the black paint brush on the white layer mask to “erase” (conceal) and a white paint brush on a black layer mask to “paint” (reveal). If you make a mistake you can switch your paint brush and paint it back. Remember to double click your layer mask so you do not paint on your actual image.

Some overlay collections will contain actions that help you apply your overlays directly to your images. This can make your overlay application process pretty speedy.

But what happens when your overlays don’t pop up for you? Where are they?

When your action prompts your software to locate your overlay to place onto your image, it may not open immediately to the ‘correct’ folder. Your computer has no way of telling exactly which folder to open, and this is out of reach for a Photoshop action to instruct. Instead, you will need to locate the overlay folder on your computer.The reason the overlays pop up for us right away in some of our video tutorials, is because our computer is set to open the folder that was last opened. We set it this way in our tutorial so that the viewer (you!) will not have to watch us sift through personal folders to find the one we are looking for. We do not mean to cause confusion, but rather speed up the video tutorial time.In order to have your overlays ‘pop up’ for you, you will need to locate the overlay folder on your computer (the location where you sent it after unzipping), and open it. If you cannot remember where you prompted your computer to extract your zipped file, you can try checking your ‘downloads’ folder, or you can manually enter the collection name (or ‘Summerana’) in your search bar. You can also learn how to organize your Photoshop files so that they are easier for you to find on your computer, and shorten your time when searching for each folder. Once you have placed your overlay, your computer should be able to ‘remember’ the last folder you were working out of, and it should open it from then on until you open a different folder.Note: This process works for all files, when you are uploading them into your Photoshop software. This includes your Photoshop (ABR) brushes, (PSD) templates, (ATN) action files and your client images.

It could be possible that your mode is set to greyscale. Make sure the image/overlay you are transferring to as well as the image/overlay you are transferring it to is in the same color space by trying either of the following: (Image > Mode> RGB Color).

(Image > Mode> CMYK Color)

If you have black boxes in your effects palette, that usually means the png image did not also get copied over along with the atn. file. Be sure to go back and copy and paste BOTH the atn. file and the matching png image over to the correct folder. You can also set your effects to say show names. To view names (of the effects), in the Effects Palette, click on the double-headed arrow to the right of Effects and click Show Names. The effects, if they were installed correctly should still work even if they are only showing black boxes, you will just not be able to see the name of the effect unless you either upload the png image along with the atn and/or do the above instructions for showing names.

Some of the bigger collections have been split in half and come as two separate downloads (one download for the overlays and one download for the actions, for example) and it will be a separate file available for download in your account instead of being included in your zipped file.

The reason for this is that the action collection might be used for several other collections, and we wanted to help you avoid having to download the same action collection multiple times, thus taking up room on your hard drive.

Splitting the downloads helps lessen the time since your zipped file will not be as huge and your download time will not be as long.

Your separate downloads will be labeled differently in your account, and may not always be next to each other.

This might pop up occasionally when you are trying to ‘Save’ over the template after editing it. To fix this problem, simply ‘Save as’ instead under a different name/different folder on your computer.

After you have unzipped your files, they should look similar to this depending on which collection you have downloaded:  Clicking on the individual folders will take you to the different file types that need to be uploaded. Each collection type (actions, brushes, templates, overlays, etc.) will need to be uploaded separately into Photoshop and Photoshop Elements as they contain different file types (PSD, PNG, ABR, ATN, etc.). They cannot all be uploaded the same way. Here you will see how they are uploaded:

If you are finding that your files do not look like zipped files, or they are not opening correctly, your files may be corrupt (usually due to different operating systems on different computers). There are a few things you can try which almost always clears the problem up. You can try downloading under a different browser (I hear chrome works the best), try clearing your computers cookies and then try downloading again, or you can try turning off any firewall that may be potentially preventing it from downloading properly.Please also note, a few of our files will be larger and will take longer to download. Please be sure to wait until it has completely finished downloading before trying to open it to prevent corrupting the file.If you are still having problems with the link please send us a message to [email protected] and we will be happy to help you. Please be sure to explain in as much detail as possible of the trouble you are experiencing, as well as attach any screenshots you may have to your email.
