There are times when you find yourself performing the same series of tasks over and over in Photoshop. Maybe you’re constantly resizing images to fit a certain space, or perhaps you’re regularly adding a watermark to your photos. Whatever the case may be, there’s a good chance that you can save yourself some time by creating a batch of actions.
A batch of actions is simply a group of Photoshop actions that you can run all at once. This is especially helpful if you have a lot of photos that need to be processed in the same way. In this article, we’ll show you how to create a batch of actions in Photoshop.
Creating a batch of actions is actually quite simple. First, open up the Actions panel (Window > Actions).
Then, click on the Create new set icon at the bottom of the panel. This will bring up a dialog box where you can name your new action set.
Once you’ve named your set, click on the Record button at the bottom of the Actions panel. Photoshop will now begin recording your actions. Perform whatever series of tasks you want to include in your batch, and then click on the Stop button when you’re done.
Your batch of actions is now complete! To run it, simply select all of the photos that you want to process, and then click on the Play button at the bottom of the Actions panel. Photoshop will run through all of the actions in your batch and apply them to your selected photos.
There are endless possibilities for what you can do with batches of actions in Photoshop. So start experimenting and see what kinds of time-saving tricks you can come up with!
With batches of actions in Photoshop, you can easily process a large number of photos all at once without having to perform each task individually. This is an extremely helpful time-saving tool that every Photoshop user should take advantage of.
