How to use the Facebook Timeline Cover Photoshop Action… whew, that's a mouthful! What this does is allow you to create cool looking photo collage Facebook timeline covers faster than if you were to try to do it all by hand. The Photoshop action actually will run from Adobe Bridge or even Lightroom… Just select 24 photos (or however many are needed for the template) and run the action and it will open each photo individually in Photoshop allowing you to crop each how you like it, one after the other. Then just click distribute and all of the photos are distributed neatly across your canvas. It saves quite a bit of time if you think about it. That's the beauty of Photoshop Actions.
These special Photoshop actions were created in Photoshop version CS5.5. They should work fine in version CS3+, but unfortunately I don't believe the actions work with Photoshop Elements at this time.
If you like this video please let me know. I'm working on adding a lot more video and appreciate any feedback you have. Let me know!
Btw, these actions are currently only available here and nowhere else, online or off. Pretty exclusive!
Here are some examples of Facebook timeline covers created using the Photoshop actions I created.

Hey Jeff.
Again, this link isn’t working for me. I’m not sure how old it is but I thought I’d see if you could take a look when ya have a minute.
Thanks much

Seems some people have issues with the unlocking of the download links. Not sure what is going on. I sent you an email in the meantime.
HI Jeff,
Link to download doesn’t seem to be working. Can you email me it?
Thanks!

Hi Patrick, it should work now. Try it again. The plugin to control the locked content just needed updating.
Hi Jeff,
Sorry, still doesn’t seem to work. Tried Firefox and Explorer, both latest.
Thanks for the great site, really enjoying your creativity!
Hi Janne, thanks for letting me know. I fixed the link. I’ll email the download link too so you can access the Facebook templates.
Thanks again Jeff, I just had a chance to test drive the templates and they’re just wonderfully done. I’ll be sure to be checking out your site in the future as well.
Thanks Janne, I’m happy you liked them!
I tweeted too as slowwhipper but link still locked. Thanks for the template.
I used Google+ and was able to download the templates.
That’s great to hear Ruby. I’m in the process of offering my other facebook templates for free as well if you’re interested. I’ll send an update to newsletter subscribers when it’s available.
