Actions capture all of the steps needed to transform a file and let you apply them with just one click. And with a single click, you can take the creative effect and workflow steps from another artist and add them to your own picture, creating everything from improved portraits to radically altered double-images. Photoshop actions can also be extremely useful timesavers when you find yourself performing the same steps on all of your image.
In this roundup, I've scoured the web for 100 of the best actions for Adobe Photoshop for your ease of use. We'll also take a look at ten premium options.
For beginners, we'll start off with a brief explanation of how to create and install Photoshop actions. Let's dive in!
How to Create a Photoshop Action
Recording an action in Photoshop is pretty simple. Open up the Actions palette and click the New Action button seen in the image below.
This should pop open a new window containing various options for the action. Here you can name the action and place it in a set. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut that will activate the action immediately in Photoshop. This is quite handy for those actions you find yourself using on a daily basis.
Once you click Record in the window above, all that's left is to carry out the steps you'd like to be recorded in the action. Keep in mind that selection sizes, saving and other very specific steps will be replicated exactly in the action. Try to keep your steps generic enough that they'll work on the full range of images you'll need the action to apply to.
When you've finished carrying out all the desired steps, click the Stop button in the action menu. You can click the Play button to perform the action on another file.
