Photoshop is a truly spectacular Image Editing Software development. This article covers just one small aspect of its enormous range of functionality.
Photoshop Actions are unique snippets of software that operate on demand (at the click of a button!) within Photoshop.
There are two sources of the Actions.
The first is from the users themselves. Once you know your way around the Photoshop screen, it is relatively simple to record the ‘Actions’ you make in a regular process (for example – rescaling an image). Then when you have an image that you want to do the same thing too – you click the ‘Rescale’ button that is stored in your ‘Actions’ Palette.
The second source of Photoshop Actions are from the expert developers of Image Editing Software. These Actions are usually well categorized for ease of use and often very effective at speeding up and simplifying your workflow. Some even reduce your need to learn at lot of tricky techniques.
These Professional Image Editng snippets are often worth there weight in gold to a busy Photoshop User. A good Photoshop Action can carry out a whole series of processes on your chosen image, giving quite spectacular results.
The ultimate with these Actions, and something that is the hallmark of top Image Editing Software, is that you can set up the appropiate Actions to ‘Batch Process’ whole file loads of images on auto-pilot. For example, if you have a file of images that are slightly underexposed – you simply process one, record the process, then run the rest on Auto using Batch Processing.
This is an incredible time saver for anyone & everyone!
