How to Import Actions into Photoshop

Actions in Photoshop help manipulate photographs, but once you've downloaded actions, it takes a little work to apply them to your pictures. Once you load an action, you can use it to perform a variety of tasks, such as adding a filter and changing the image size. Use action to make editing photographs easier in Photoshop.

Instructions

1. Place all your actions in one folder. Keeping them in one place will make it easier to organize and locate them.

2. Open Adobe Photoshop.

3. Click "Actions" Under the "Window" button. A checkmark should appear next to it and an Actions window should open.

4. Click the small arrow on the top, right-hand side on the Actions window.

5. Select "Load Actions."

6. Locate the Action you want to use -- you can only load one at a time -- and click "Open."

7. Check the box of the action you want to use and hit the "Play" button on the bottom of your layers window.
