Photoshop tutorials: Using actions
Introducing words: I'm sure you know what I mean — You start to graze your favorite-list in your browser to check out what's new on your favorite websites.And there is one (or even more) avata(s)r you really adore and because you want to design your graphics the same way you're looking for a tutorial that teachs you how this works.
It's sometimes hard to follow tutorials and, to be honest, it's sometimes very exhauting for me to write them. That's the reason why actions are a worthy alternative in this case.Photoshop Actions relieve this problem from you.
Example for using actions
They are plug-ins which can be integrated such as brushes. This tutorial will teach you how to install and use actions in Photoshop.
1. Installing
- Download a Photoshop action on a website of your confidence like Grieved-Lightness ;)
- Make sure the file has an *.atn ending, because this is the sign that this action is compatible with Adobe Photoshop.
- Now have a look at your Photoshop Folder and follow this path: ...\Presets\Photoshop Actions
- Crap the downloaded action file and insert it into this folder
2. Using actions
- Open the program and an image of your choise
- Now you have to open the Action window (Window > Actions).
- Open the history window, which is included in the actions window, and select the image layer.
- Check out the last line and mark it. Have a look at the objects at the bottom of the window and make s "screenshot" of the marked line by pushing the middle buttom.
- Select the action part of the window.
- Open/ lead the downloaded "action" by using the arrow at the right-top.
- Now open the action while activating the arrow in front of the title. A sub-menue opens.
- This is called "set". Open it in same way as the action.
- To get the effect of the action your image has to go through a various steps.
- To start this process use this button
(Play selection).
