Play this action to launch nDo. For a good workflow, it is recommended that you tie this action to a quick-button – to do so, double click the action and set “Function Key” to the button of your choice (F2-F12).

Overlay Normal
Blends the selected normal map layer with the layer(s) below, in a mathematically correct manner without destroying Z channel data. To remove the blending properties, right click the layer and press “Clear layer styles”.
Tip: to amplify the blend, set a fill opacity value higher than 50% (default blending intensity). 100% results in a 2x intensified normal.

Cavity from Normal
Generates a cavity map layer on top of the selected normal map layer.
