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!
