- Use a good quality pictures. I recommend using a photo with a resolution of at least 2500 pixels on one axis for best effect.

1. Make sure you are using the ENGLISH version of Photoshop;

2. Go to: Image / Mode and check the "RGB color" and "8 Bits/Channel";

3. (Just for CS5 and higher versions) Click on menu icon at the right on "LAYERS" panel and go to "Panel Option...",
and check the "Add "copy" to Copied Layers and Groups".

1. Open your image;

2. Open "Facial Hair Brushes" file;

3. Open "Facial Hair Patterns" file;

4. Open the action (for that go to: Window / Actions, click on menu icon at the right and choose in list "Load Actions..."
then find the action on your computer and open it;

5. Find action on the action list then open it and click play (Follow the text tooltips which will appear
in the process of action work) (speed of action work depends of the power of your computer);

6. When action finished work make double click on "Change color here" layer and change colors of hairs like you need. Important! Make unvisible "Photo" layer
before save smart object.
You can change Density of hair also.

7. After making all changes save opened document.

8. Ready! just save.
If you sure that you doing all right and this is still does not work, before play action please increase
the resolution of your photo using Image Size adjustment. For that go to Image/ Image Size.
And change width and height values to 2000-3000px. If it still not works increase more to 4000-5000px.
As you can see in my preview image i use photo with high resolution and the face of model occupies most of photo space.
In this case the mustache and beard area what you painted is big and action works correctly.
If you use High quality photo with big resolution, but your mustache and beard area area is too small compared with all image size,
it mean work area has too small resolution the action can�t works correctly. So all what you need
to do it�s increase resolution of photo with �Image Size� instruments before use action.
If every thing is fine and you are doing exactly the same as in instructions and still having error like "Select command is not available" then exit Photoshop and restart it again.the problem will be solved
