Photoshop Tutorials

Actions

Photoshop Actions in a nutshell

Whether you are a beginner, amateur or a professional, editing multiple photos to have the exact same effect and look of another photo can be a tedious task. You end up spending hours or even days to complete editing a batch of photos and that also means wasting a good amount of time that you can use to work on another project or even enjoying time for yourself.

Luckily, if you are using Adobe Photoshop, there’s a little task savior called “ACTIONS”. Photoshop Actions is a series of tasks that you perform while editing a single project. Essentially what it does is it records everything and every step you make or click during the editing process into a single file (.atn). Once you are done recording, all you have to do is open another photo or a batch of photos, execute the action file you want and voila! every effect or action you’ve created on your previous photo will be done the exact same way to the new one you’ve just opened.

Photoshop Actions save you time by simply clicking on a single button.

WHAT ARE ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ACTIONS?

Why use “Actions”?

Whether you want to add a certain photo filter, enhance an image, resize it, change the mode from CMYK to RGB, sharpen or blur, anything you do to get a certain texture or effect in a single photo, Photoshop Actions will store the ‘step-bystep’ of your edits for you to be able to repeat and use those multiple processes again and again. From the most simple to very complex series of tasks, Photoshop Actions is the answer to a fast, efficient and the most convenient way to edit your photos.

Countless websites offer downloadable Photoshop Action files, either paid or free that you can just load into Adobe Photoshop. But you can always customize an ‘action’ for more detailed and spot on editing in a flash.

ACTIONS are particularly good if you are an amateur photographer or editor and you’d like your photos to have a distinct look without the hassles of sitting for long hours editing photos. By using Actions, you’ll save a lot of time simply by clicking on a single button, as you watch all of your work get transformed and edited using your trademark effect.

How to create custom “Actions” ?

Below is a simple step-by-step guide to making your own custom Photoshop Actions using a CS3 interface on a Mac OSX. This sample will show how to place the same text and effect on multiple photos.

Our objectives for this tutorial are the following:

a) save a new action (.atn file);

b) place the text “Vector Toons” on the images;

The Adobe Photoshop Actions panel features a list of preset actions. You may also download .atn files that you can load in Photoshop or record your own actions.

c) apply a poster effect;

d) apply the action to another photo

For us to be able to achieve the objectives above, we will have to do the following steps:

1. Open the photo of your choice on Adobe Photoshop.

2. Bring up the “Actions” window by clicking on WINDOWS -> ACTIONS

3. Click on the “Create New Action” icon near the bottom right corner of the Actions Panel (it is the Folded Paper icon beside the Trash Bin icon).

4. Supply the Action name, Set (Folder location) you prefer and hit RECORD. From this point onwards, any action you make in photoshop will be recorded.

5. Since we would like to expand the image size of our photo to accommodate the text that we will be placing in it, we have to adjust the CANVAS size. So we click on IMAGE -> CANVAS SIZE. Then supply / adjust according to the size that you like. Click OK.

6. As you can see, after clicking OK on the Canvas Size dialogue box, the canvas adjustment action has been recorded and now appears under the “Text-Poster” action that we created earlier.

7. Now that we have ample space to place our text, we need to click the Text Horizontal Tool and type in the text that you like - in this case we are using “VECTOR TOONS”

8. You will now see that a new action has been recorded called “Make text layer”. In this case, we will be adding text effects like ‘Stroke’ - this will also be recorded into the Action file we are creating

9. For the poster effect, we would have to click on FILTER -> ARTISTIC -> POSTER EDGES

10.Now that we have recorded the POSTER EDGES filter in our action, it is time to stop our recording by clicking the STOP RECORDING button beside the RED RECORD button at the bottom of the Actions Panel and save your photo file.

You have now successfully created and saved a custom PHOTOSHOP ACTIONS called “TEXT-POSTER”.

It is time to put the new action we have created to the test.

How to load custom “Actions”

You now have a basic knowledge in creating a custom Photoshop Action, now it is time to learn how to load custom Actions and apply it to another photo.

1. Choose a different photo that you’d like to edit.

2. Click on the ACTION Panel and highlight the ACTION that you’d like to use (in our case we are going to use our custom “TEXT-POSTER” action, then hit the PLAY button. If you can't see the actions, you can manually load it by clicking on the panel menu -> LOAD ACTIONS.

3. Double check after the ACTION has been processed and save your photo.

I’m a marketing expert and business success coach who gets you more prospects, customers, sales, and profits – and most importantly, the real benefit of all that… the lifestyle that a successful business can give you and yours! Now I know you’re thinking, “So why is this guy telling me all this, why should I believe anything he says, and why should I care?” – good questions, here’s why… You see, most business owners I come across don’t have the time or expertise in marketing to really leverage all the upside profit potential that lies hidden in their business. In plain talk, they’re already ‘wearing too many hats’ and just too busy working in their business rather than on their business, to make it as profitable as it could and should be. And that’s what this special report is all about.

completely miss out on how this simple concept will catapult your profits beyond what you are currently doing, and help turn your business into the profit-machine it can and will be. Okay, having said that... Let's say you want to increase your profits by 50% this year. Now let’s take a look at the numbers (let’s use $100,000 for easy math)... $100,000 + 50% growth = $150,000 Yes, I know that's a simple formula, and I know you're thinking...”Mark, I've been busting my brain for years trying to make my business have more profits – if it were that easy, I'd just wave a magic wand and do it.” Let me introduce you to the magical concept of the “Magic Wand of Marketing Leverage” in helping you build your business. First, let’s talk about “The Three Ways To Grow Your Business”: • attracting more prospects • converting more prospects to customers • increasing the lifetime value of your current and new customers by increasing the average dollars per sale, and increasing the frequency that they purchase from you *** Important – please read through these three ways to grow your business again *** Alright, let's continue... So, instead of hoping for ‘pie-in-the-sky’ dreams of increasing your business by 50%, we can break things down into manageable steps, and if we increase each of these three areas just a little, we create the magical effect of “Marketing Leverage”, like this... $100,000...

• plus 15% increase in attracting more prospects • plus 15% increase in converting more prospects to customers • plus 15% increase in sales from current and new customers Simply by increasing each of these three areas by only 15%, your profits grow exponentially to...
$152,087 !!

So you can appreciate how important it is to have a marketing program in place that leverages each of these three basic areas.
(go on to next page, please)

Now here's a little secret that can work more magic for you... In each of these three areas you've seen work above, there are a number of strategies and techniques that can be used to leverage up each of these three basic areas even more, creating more marketing leverage to increase the profits of your company. So instead of only 15% leverage in each of these, it's not unreasonable to think we could leverage one (or more) of these three marketing levers up to 50% or more! Stop, and just imagine for a moment...what if you could: • attract 50% more prospects, or... • convert 50% more prospects to customers, or... • increase the lifetime value of your current and new customers by increasing the average dollars per sale by 50%, and/or increase the frequency that they purchase from you by 50% What would that do to the bottom line profits of your business?
