Here are two ways to build a site (abstractly) that feel diametrically opposed to me:
Build a site as an SPA (Single Page App). The page loads a skeleton HTML page that executes JavaScript as quickly as it can. The JavaScript calls an API to get data, and then the page renders content. Navigation of the site is more API calls to get the data it needs and re-rendering.
Build a site as statically-generated. A build process runs in which the entire site is built out as static HTML files with all the content baked into them. JavaScript isn’t required at all for the site to work.
That feels just about as different as can be. But weirdly, they kinda aren’t:
They are both JAMstack. They can be hosted statically as neither of them needs backend languages running on the server they are hosted on.
They are both building content based on an API of data. It’s more obvious in the first one, but you can think of a static site generator as hitting an API of data as it runs and builds itself. It’s just that the API might be temporarily created from content files it finds on disk. Or it might be the exact same API used for the former site.
Photoshop actions feature prerecorded steps to help you achieve dynamic pictures in less time. Use them to instantly refresh your Instagram timeline, portfolio, or personal photography work.
Today, we’ll learn how to install a Photoshop action from start to finish before applying a cool, faded duotone effect.
Watch
the steps unfold in this quick video lesson and get all the details you
need in the written process below. Head on over to Envato Market for more amazing effects like Photoshop actions.
Hit the Download button on Envato Elements and create a name for your project. I’ll just type „social media” before hitting the Add and Download button.
Step 2
Once your file is downloaded, it’ll appear as a compressed ZIPfile with all your Photoshop action components.
Right-click to Extract these contents
and click on the folder to assess what you have. In most cases, you’ll
have a documentation file along with the action as a .ATN extension.
Make sure to always read the helpful documentation file just in case it has specific guidelines on the types of photos you can use with that action.
This particular one doesn’t have any specifically, but here’s an example of what they may look like, taken from the Berlin Photoshop Actions pack.
Here’s a look at our action at the top and the Berlin Photoshop Action guidelines at the bottom.
Step 3
Now install the action.
Open Adobe Photoshop and go to Window > Actions to bring up the Actions panel.
Select the drop-down options and hit Load Actions to load the duotone file. Once you hit Load it’ll now appear as the last one in the Actions panel.
Test out your action by opening a new photo and selecting the background layer. Then select the action you want to use before hitting the Play button.
It may take a couple of seconds or a few minutes to play out the action completely.
Here’s my final result after applying the Autumn Breeze action.

I admit I’m quite intrigued by frameworks that allow you write apps in web frameworks because they do magic to make them into native apps for you. There are loads of players here. You’ve got NativeScript, Cordova, PhoneGap, Tabris, React Native, and Flutter. For deskop apps, we’ve got Electron.
What’s interesting now is to see what’s important to these frameworks by honing in on their focus. Hummingbird is Flutter for the web. (There is a fun series on Flutter over on the Bendworks blog in addition to a post we published earlier this year.) The idea being you get super high performance ,thanks to the framework, and you’ve theoretically built one app that runs both on the web and natively. I don’t know of any real success stories I can point to, but it does seem like an awesome possibility.
