JHP Photoshop Actions - Review

Firstly, for those of you that do not know, Photoshop Actions are pre-recorded post-processing techniques that have been saved simply for convenience. It is a great feature and I recommend you try it for yourself – here is a short guide:

1. To create an Action in Photoshop

• Open up the Actions tab, Window –> Actions
• Now create a New Action:

New Action

• This window will appear:
• Specify: Name, the set to save it to, you can make a short key for repetitive use, and colour for recognition.
• Hit Record and begin making your adjustments to your photographs. TIP: Try to avoid using the sliders in Layers, enter values instead.
• Once you have finished click stop, the blue square at the bottom of the Actions tab, or press ESC.

New Action - Record

• To install actions (.atn) place them in your Actions Folder located in Presets of your Photoshop Files (Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Actions)

Saving Actions: Presets -> Actions

• After placing your Photoshop Actions you’ll need to refresh before they appear, so click on the top right button of the Actions tab, and Load Actions…
