Remaking Photoshop Actions in GIMP

Fri Feb 23, 2024 7:38 am

a possible client (long gone by now)
directed me to https://www.deviantart.com/rawimage/art ... -853811976
to get an .ATN file. but I tried opening it in sublime and it's all in Hex.

I was wondering if anyone has access to Photoshop to convert the .ATN file to xml or text or any readable format so I can read the actions.
I tried looking at the free trial for Photoshop but the price is too steep for me and I don't want to sign up and having cancel when I don't intend to actually own Photoshop.

I was wondering if anyone knows a way (or has access to Photoshop already) and convert the ATN file to readable actions so I can try to reproduce in GIMP.

In return, I'll share the reproduced result plug-in if successful.

Hello Tin

I can't help with PS, my only suggestion is that you could maybe try Photopea - https://www.photopea.com/

Perhaps this editor could meet your needs.

Good luck.

Thanks Krikor.
I was able to open the ATN in Photopea and see the actions.
but it's a huge list and no properties can be seen which I would need to emulate in GIMP.

I can do this on the latest version of Photoshop I have. CS5 from 2010. It has actions

btw, so does photoshop from 1996.

Send me the atn file and I'll try to make GEGL syntax that mimics it and give you its instructions.

Hi Contrast,
the ATN, It's downloadable from the link given in 1st post

I can't download it because I don't have a deviant art account.

I ran it on 2010 photoshop and it kept warning about missing a few features but loaded this. I do not have access to any later version of PS.


GEGL could mimick this with mean curvature blur, a color tint with color-overlay on a blend mode and gaussian blur, and linear motion blur at very low settings

Here is the output

Would you like me to make a GEGL Graph of this vintage effect?

No I was just wanting to do it as a plug-in for the client.
I don't personally have use for it.
