Please check: 

1. Your photo is in RGB color mode

2. Your photo is in 8bit color mode

3. You are running the English version of Photoshop.

4. Avoid using small resolution images. For the best results, use Photos between 
2000px - 4000px. The chances of the Action running into errors will increase the
lower your photo goes under 1000px.

TIPS
------------------------------------------------------

1. Play around with the 'Background Tint' layer opacity. Especially
if you are using a photo that has a white background. This is a good one to experiment with
as soon as the action has finished. Dont forget you can also change the color of that tint!

2. The 'Background Parts' folders blend mode is set to Overlay - please experiment
by changing it to 'Lighten' or 'Screen' with your photo. If it is too bright, change it back
to Overlay.

3. Dont forget to hide layers that you dont want! If there is a sparkle that stands out
too much or doesnt look right, simply hide the layer. You can also use the 'Auto Select'
feature in Photoshop to quickly select a sparkle to identify what layer it is.

4. Try mixing the color options by turning multiple layers on and adjusting their layer
opacity.

5. Duplicate layers to build more sparkles.
