Photoshop Tips - Photoshop Action

Photo editing can be very time consuming especially when you have hundreds (or even thousands!) of photos that you took during gathering with friends, events or any other photo shooting functions. Sometime, I'm so lazy and kind of phobia when see the raw photos out there waiting for post editing. But recently, I found a very useful feature inside photoshop. That cool feature is called photoshop action (when you save it, it will have .atn extension to the file). This feature is really awesome!

With photoshop action, you can save up a lot of time on the post editing. It basically record down your steps / actions performed when you editing the photo. You can then save the steps to an .atn file, which you can use it to process series of photos with same effect, same tone and same feel. Besides saving the photo editing time, you can standardize the photos tone, or the theme that you want for particular event. Let's say for example, you are taking photos for wedding event, you can create an action file with memorable sepia theme (credit to the tutorial author for the memorable sepia feel). You can then apply that same action to the rest of the photos for the same event by just play back the action file you created. Simple and easy huh?

Happy photo editing!
