1   start with any image

2   Ctrl+J       duplicate bkg

3   Layer-New fill layer-solid color - white

4   Ctrl + [       move below

5   Use Rectangle tool - make shape, no stroke  ---    long vertical rectangle on left side

6   select "layer 1"

7   creat clipping mask

8   select "rectangle 1"   layer

9  Ctrl +T      free transform, spin slightly

10   Apply Styles  Fx

             drop shadow - opacity 20,  angle 132,  distance 10,   no global light

             color overlay      Blend  "Hue"    orange

             stroke   position  inside,    color  white

 

11   select "Layer 1" and "rectangle 1"  together

12    Ctrl + G       and make Group        label  Group 1

13    Ctrl + J      duplicate group      rename  Group 2

14   Ctrl + [      move below  Group 1

15    Open group 2

16    select layer   "rectangle 1"       use "Path Selection Tool"  to move strip to right

17    Ctrl + T to spin slightly

18      select "color overlay effects"    change color to green

19    close Group 2

20   select bkg  layer

21  stop recording.

 

there should produce     two strips side by side with different orientation and color on a white background.

I am using Photoshop 2014 x64     on a win 7/64 machine.

record these steps as an action and run this sequence  - it will not produce the same effect -- why
