How to create a new Photoshop Action
First we're going to create the action set, then record the actual action you can apply on your pictures to save some time on repetitive tasks.
|

|
|
|
 |
1.
|
|
|
We're going to create an image resize action. The action will resize pictures to the dimension of 300 x 225 pixels which is the size of Dreevoo lesson pictures you see on the left.
Open a picture in Photoshop.
|
|
| |
2.
|
|
|
Activate actions by pressing Alt + F9 (or click Window in the menu and enable Actions)
In the Action window click the down arrow (see picture)...
|
|
| |
3.
|
|
|
...and choose New Set...
|
|
| |
4.
|
|
|
Enter the name of the New Set and click OK.
I've named it Dreevoo actions.
|
|
| |
5.
|
|
|
With the new set selected again click the down arrow...
|
|
| |
6.
|
|
|
...and choose New Action...
|
|
| |
7.
|
|
|
Enter the name of the new action, choose the Set it belongs to and click Record to start recording the action.
I named it Resize to 300x225 and chose the Dreevoo actions Set.
|
|
| |
8.
|
|
|
Now every option you select and every command you click, it's getting recorded. As I want my action to resize pictures, I must do the following...
Click Image and choose Image Size...
|
|
| |
9.
|
|
|
Set the Width to 300 and Height to 225 pixels ...
|
|
| |
10.
|
|
|
...choose the Bicubic Sharper (best for reduction) Resample Image option as I will be reducing the picture's sizes with this action. Click OK.
|
|
| |
11.
|
|
|
When you finish the procedure, click the Stop playing/recording button to stop the recording process.
|
|
| |
12.
|
|
|
And that's it, the action is recorded and saved.
Now you can apply the action on any given picture by just selecting the action and pressing the Play selection button.
