Photoshop actions tutorial

In this Photoshop tutorial, I would like to express, how important can saving Photoshop actions are time and make your work more in line.

Can describe what an action in the first place.

An action is essentially a recording of things in Photoshop, to do that can render them at any time. Most people who can record all the action.

So, for example something as simple as creating a document (, one of the things, I actions for use). A good candidate for an action is to do anything for itself repeatedly.

Let's say I must create banners, a 400 x 100 frequently. Instead remember the dimensions and settings such as background, I can simply an action called "small client banner" create. Then, when I, that will create banners I just click this action.

Fortunately, this Photoshop tutorial is very easy. Start Photoshop. On the window menu and select actions (you can also press old or option + F9).

This will open the "Actions" Panel. Click the button "Create new set" in the "Actions". I do this things organized to keep. Name your set something like create new banner.

Next, click "Create new action" button and name your action something descriptive, such as "400 x 100" or "client A small banner".

As far as Photoshop tutorials go, that is about as simple as possible. From this point on what you do is press recorded as action (and not in real time) until you "Stop recording".

Create a new document just as you would normally, with all the settings for your banner 400 x 100 (or what you do). Once you have created the blank document, click "Stop recording" and your action button is.

Now whenever you want size document created only select this action and do it! I love the time savings and consistency through actions like this.
