Cant get this effect - help!

Not sure what you're trying to achieve there. It looks awful.
 
It's difficult to tell you what "settings" you need, as I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve.

To make an action, you just create a new action from the actions palette, and record exactly what you did. Not all processes can be recorded as an action though, so without knowing what you did, it's really hard to help you.
 
Sorry ive changed the question so make it a bit more straightforward, there was too much waffle in there
