This article will kick DZoom thought to bring it because the actions are a wonderful discovery for the photo manipulation by the time to bring this explanation and then a tutorial on the use of some action!
Photoshop Actions. What are they?
For those familiar with the programming world, we could say that the Shares are a useful Photoshop scripting to automate the execution of certain steps. Photoshop gives us the ability to save each of the steps we are taking on a photograph, to apply these same steps on other photos. This allows us to perform, automatically, a series of corrections in our pictures that otherwise would become tedious process, especially when it comes to mechanical processes that do not need supervision.
The steps described in the following points were made using Photoshop CS, but also works with Photoshop CS2.
Where are Photoshop Actions?
The first is identifying where Photoshop actions. There is a floating window that contains the actions, but you may not see it because at some point you've closed. To activate, go to the Window menu and check the Actions option (Window -> Actions). You can also do this by pressing F9.
will see a window like this:
actions can be grouped into folders, Photoshop action and each has one or more steps. How
actions are executed?
The action window has a button bar at the bottom. These buttons, in order, serve to Stop, Record, Run, create a new folder
s trigger, create a new action, and Delete. 
can delete a step, an action, or a folder.
actions to navigate through each folder and Action is an arrow pointing to the dereecha or down. If it points to the right, clicking on the arrow display the content.
To run a Photoshop Action, activate the action to execute by clicking with the mouse over it. When an action is selected, icons are enabled Save and Run. Clicking the mouse pointer on the Run icon, the action starts.
How do I create my own Photoshop Actions?
Creating Photoshop action is (almost) as simple as its execution.
first thing to do is decide if we group them into a folder. In our example, we will create a folder to group the actions that we create on the blog.
We click on the folder icon to create a new grouping of actions. A window pops up that asks for the name we want to give the folder. We will call "dZoom Actions" (without the quotes). Pressing the OK button, we see that it has created a new folder with the name Actions dZoom Stock.
Before creating the action, we will open an image on which to run the action in order to ensure being done properly. In our example we used the example image Velvia effect.
Now create a folder action in the actions we've created. We make sure the folder is selected, and click the button to create a new action (second from right). We asked for a name for the action. Here we can ensure of our portfolio that was selected, and if it is not, select it in the combo with the name of "Joint." We can also associate a shortcut key to our action.
For example, let's create an action that reproduces the effect settings Velvia which I will in another article in its mild form. Let's call it "Soft Velvia.
execute the appropriate commands, and once finished, click on "Stop." And that's it, we created our first Photoshop Action.
To prove that it works correctly, just Open a new image, select the action you've created, and run it. If all goes well, apply the above steps, but this time much faster.
think we've created a very simple action, but steps can be grouped more complex.
Saving and loading Photoshop actions
disk
Actions created in the computer are stored in Photoshop, but you can save them as a separate file. These files, with extension. ATN in Photoshop CS, allow us to take the actions we have set up one computer to another, and to install in Photoshop actions created by other users. Thus, we downloaded from the Internet stock complex whose behavior does not reach out to understand its complexity, but we are of great help when making final adjustments to our photographs.
To save to disk or upload actions in Photoshop, there is a little hidden button in the action window.
Pressing this button with your mouse, you see a menu with several options. Interest are the "Load Actions" and "Save Actions."
actions can be downloaded Devianrt as I said this is an introductory wing "shares" in Ps the idea is that they know, like and used and are, to add new shares at Ps, follow this path on their computers:
and came to the Folder Actions:
Open that folder and see the following:
And there stick together the new shares, it is important when going down the new actions do not download them directly to the folder of the PS pre-established because the majority came in Rar files. or Zip. then you must decompress and then pass pre wing folder actions set up by the Ps.
Well I hope they serve this little explanation of who they are and to serve the "actions" on the PS then bring a tutorial using any action to have it more clear!
