If you don't have Photoshop, or are contemplating an upgrade, the best path to take is a fully functional trial version. If you're not sure if Photoshop, Photoshop Elements or even Photoshop Lightroom is going to serve your purpose, or you want to compare and balance out which variation best suits your specific needs, or even if you just want to play around and figure out if image editing is for you - my top tip would be to download a trial version. In this article I'll show you how it's done, completely legally and with Adobe's blessings.

A few weeks ago I stepped down from my position of moderator at photoshopforums.com to focus on other things including writing and recording more tutorials for this site. During my 27 months at PhotoshopForums.com I wrote 13 quick-fire tutorials for the Tutorials and Featured Tips section, some of them, I'm pleased to say, receiving over 5000 views. |
If you're worried about you or somebody else messing around with some of your most complex or valuable actions then it's worth taking a look at the button mode. If you know you're actions, then you'll know that it's the little things that can cause the major headaches. If a step gets accidently deleted, or a minor setting gets changed, then it's easy to spend hours trying to find a fix. The button mode is capable of keeping danger at the door by switching out the live editable actions complete with all your steps for a simple button.

If you've ever spent a whole evening applying the same operations to a batch of images then this tutorial's for you! The actions palette is Photoshop's oldest and wisest automation tool, giving any user complete access to fast, efficient and flexible multi-step operations that can be recorded from scratch and played back over and over again. Once you learn the basics of actions you'll wonder how you ever lived without them!

Renaming one or two files isn't a problem, but if you have hundreds or even thousands of holiday photographs to rename then you'd need to invest some serious time into the process. Thankfully Photoshop can be fine-tuned to automate many repetitive and time-consuming tasks, batch renaming multiple files being one of them. Here we'll switch our attention to the Bridge, a free application that ships along with Photoshop, and rename photographs the quick and easy way.
