@BHem If you get a "set command currently unavailable" error message when trying to run a plugin in Photoshop, it usually means the plugin can't perform its action on the current selection or layer. This often happens if you're trying to apply a filter to a layer that's not a standard pixel layer, such as a Smart Object, an empty layer, or a text layer. To fix this, you'll need to make sure you're working on a compatible layer.  

For Smart Objects, you can also double-click on the thumbnail to open it, make your changes, and then save and close it. If you're working with a selection, ensure it's a valid selection area that's not empty.

Post a full screen screenshot with the layers panel visible and the action panel visible with all steps expanded and visible, with the error message onscreen where the action step will be highlighted.
