How to Record Actions in Photoshop
Photoshop is an amazing graphics program that can be used to create almost any effect you want using the various tools, filters and functions. In fact, there is so much you can do with it that the steps you use to perform any particular effect can occasionally be hard to remember or awkward to have to constantly repeat. This is where Photoshop Actions come in. If you have a particular set of steps you are frequently using to produce a certain effect, you can record the entire sequence as an Action.
