 I, I have two problems.  An older problem which I've never solved and now a new more pressing yellow problem.
The first problem that I've been ignoring is when I use the actions I get this message sometimes with my poser pngs that I have saved out to toon;-

the object "layer "background"" is not currently  available

The worst problem is the couple of actions I really use a lot that actually don't give me that message have suddenly started turning my pictures yellowy green.  Has anyone else had this happen and know what causes it?

 opened the colour sync utility (I'm on a mac) and when I clicked verify I got a message that things needed fixing, so I hit repair and got this message:-
"/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended/CoatedFOGRA27.icc

   Tag 'desc': Tag size is not correct. Could not be fixed."

Is this something bad??  And is it anything to do with my current problem?  Most of my pics look fine until I run certain actions on them.

 okay, i have worked out the first two problems.  The little black white box on the left side at the bottom had a yellow instead of white box.
The other problem is that pngs don't work for some of the actions - only jpgs

How funky...

At first reading you post I was wondering if you went through all the history one at a time after applying an Action that went bad - you'll see when it goes bad, and be able to figure out what it was that made it go sideways.

I'm wondering what would only work on jpegs (and I imagine bmp and tif) but not on png...

What if you were to save your images as tifs with an Alpha - would that do the job of cutting out your rendered objects instead of rendering with a transparent BG?

I'm interested in hearing your results - sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

 sorry I never got back to you.  I found if I duplicated the layer and just clicked ignore to the message that the effect looked okay so I haven't worried too much.
