Photoshop tutorial for actions

In this Photoshop tutorial, I would like to how important can by saving Photoshop actions are you time and make your work more IhrerProgrammeundbewertetregelmäßigdietent.

Let us describe what an action is first.

An action is primarily a record of the things you which can be rendered in Photoshop, then at any time. Everything can most as action be taken.

So, for example something as simple as creating a document (one of the things the I actions for use). All you find to do again and again is a good candidate for an action.

Let us say that I a 400 x 100 often must create banner. Instead of to remember I can the dimensions and settings such as background, simply an action called "small client banner" create. When ever I that banner will create, then the action I just.

Fortunately, this Photoshop tutorial is very easy. Photoshop to start. Click on the window menu and choose actions (press ALT/option + F9).

The "Actions" Panel opens. Click on the button 'Create new set' in the action panel. I do this to keep things organized. Call your sentence something like 'Create new banner'.

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

As far as Photoshop tutorials go, is, which is about as easy as's. From this point on, what you will do will be recorded as action (and not in real time) until you the "stop recording" button.

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

Now, whenever you want that size created document, only select this action and run! I love the time saving and consistency with actions like this created.
