An action is basically a Photoshop macro containing one or more pre-recorded commands that may be replayed on another image or series of images.
Actions can only exist within a set i. Double-click on an action or choose Action Options from the panel menu to change its name, keyboard shortcut and Button Mode color.
Action steps are pre-recorded Photoshop commands. Actions are comprised of one or more action steps. Note: You may change the parameters for a command by double-clicking on its associated action step or by choosing Record Again from the panel menu. If available, the command dialog will appear, allowing you to enter new values. If enabled, a small dialog icon appears next to the command, and the associated dialog is displayed for that command during action playback.
The default is to not display a dialog indicated by an empty box , and instead, to use the values that were recorded for the command when the action was created. Note: Enabling or disabling the modal control for a set toggles all dialogs for all actions within the set. Similarly, enabling or disabling the dialog checkbox for an action toggles all dialogs for all applicable commands within that action.
A red modal control icon indicates that one or more but not all dialogs are enabled within an action or set. A grey "ghosted" modal control icon can mean one of two things:. The include checkbox is used to turn action steps — or even entire actions or sets — on or off. By default, all commands are checked, indicating that they are to be included when an action is played.
An empty checkbox indicates that the command has been disabled excluded , meaning that it will be skipped during playback. Note: Enabling or disabling the include checkbox for a set toggles all steps for all actions within the set. Similarly, enabling or disabling the include checkbox for an action toggles all steps within that action. A red checkmark icon indicates that one or more but not all steps within an action or set have been disabled.
In addition to the many controls discussed above, the Actions panel menu also contains several commands that are very useful for creating and editing actions. To access the panel menu , click on the button, near the top right corner of the Actions panel. By default the Actions panel appears in List View Mode. Button Mode turns each action into a button displaying the name, color and keyboard shortcut assigned to it in the Action Options dialog. Simply click a button to play its corresponding action.
Despite how easy Button Mode is to use, its usefulness is limited because you can't create, edit or modify actions while in this mode. The Insert Menu Item command allows you to insert the selected menu item into the current action.
Inserted items appear below the active action step. This command is available regardless of whether or not you are in record mode.
A stop is a dialog that pauses the action to display a user-defined message of up to characters. The dialog has a Stop button hence the name , and may also contain an optional Continue button. Insert Path is only available when a path or shape is selected. This command inserts the selected path into the current action as a series of anchor and handle coordinates.
The Playback Options dialog allows you to set the playback speed for actions. The Pause For Audio Annotation option allows you to pause action playback for documents that contain audio annotations. As the name implies, Clear All Actions removes all actions and sets from the Actions panel. Use the Reset Actions command to remove all actions from the Actions panel and replaces them with the default sets. A warning dialog appears, allowing you to accept the replacement, cancel it, or append the default sets to the Actions panel.
Load Actions allows you to load an existing action set. Check carefully that those are the values you want to record. If you record an action that will be played on files of different sizes, set the ruler units to percentages. As a result, the action will always play back in the same relative position in the image. When you create a new action, the commands and tools you use are added to the action until you stop recording. Alternatively, you can click the New Snapshot button on the History panel to make a snapshot of the image before recording the action.
Function Key. Assigns a keyboard shortcut to the action. If you assign an action the same shortcut that is used for a command, the shortcut will apply the action rather than the command. When recording the Save As command, do not change the filename. If you enter a new filename, that new name is recorded and used each time you run the action.
Before saving, if you navigate to a different folder, you can specify a different location without having to specify a filename. Not all tasks in actions can be recorded directly; however, you can insert most nonrecordable tasks using commands in the Actions panel menu.
The Insert Path command lets you include a complex path a path created with a pen tool or pasted from Adobe Illustrator as part of an action. When the action is played back, the work path is set to the recorded path. You can insert a path when recording an action or after it has been recorded. If you record multiple Insert Path commands in a single action, each path replaces the previous one in the target file. To add multiple paths, record a Save Path command using the Paths panel after recording each Insert Path command.
Playing actions that insert complex paths may require significant amounts of memory. If you encounter problems, increase the amount of memory available to Photoshop. You can include stops in an action that let you perform a task that cannot be recorded for example, using a painting tool.
After you complete the task, click the Play button in the Actions panel to complete the action. You can also display a short message when the action reaches the stop as a reminder of what needs to be done before continuing with the action. You can include a Continue button in the message box in case no other task needs to be done. By default, actions are completed using the values specified when they were originally recorded.
If you want to change the settings for a command within an action, you can insert a modal control. A modal control pauses an action so that you can specify values in a dialog box or use a modal tool.
A modal tool requires pressing Enter or Return to apply its effect—once you press Enter or Return, the action resumes its tasks. Modifying Actions— Drag to reposition commands within an action in the Actions panel or, drag commands between Actions. Option -drag Mac Alt -drag Win to copy a command within an action or to another action. This is an excellent feature if you want to make changes to that command — but beware, whatever you enter in the dialog box will now become the recorded value in the action.
Viewing Recorded Setting— Option -click Mac Alt -click Win the disclosure triangle next to an action to collapse or expand all components of that action. If there are multiple actions within the set, they will ALL be saved this is a feature. Loading Actions— If you have received an action from someone, you can load it by:double clicking on the action in the operating system, double clicking on the action within Bridge, using the fly-out menu on the Actions panel to choose Load Actions.
