In this video, learn how to make a Photoshop action and use it to edit a whole batch of photos at once! 🎉 Photoshop actions can save you tons of time by doing the same edits on many pictures quickly. Watch along as we create an action step-by-step, then run it on a bunch of photos in just a few clicks. Perfect for beginners or anyone who wants to make photo editing faster and easier!

Here’s a step-by-step guide on creating a Photoshop action and running it on a batch of photos (video 1 of 2)

Step 1: Open Photoshop and Load a Photo

  • Open the photo you want to use for creating your action in Photoshop.

Step 2: Open the Actions Panel

  • Go to Window > Actions to bring up the Actions panel.

Step 3: Create a New Action

  • In the Actions panel, click the + (plus) icon or select New Action.
  • Name your action (e.g., “My Batch Edit”) and click Record. Photoshop will start recording your steps.

Step 4: Perform Edits

  • Make any edits you want to apply to all your photos (e.g., brightness, contrast, resizing).
  • Everything you do will be recorded as part of the action.

Step 5: Stop Recording

  • When you’re done with your edits, click the Stop button in the Actions panel.
  • Now, you have a saved action that you can apply to other photos.

Step 6: Set Up Batch Processing

  • Go to File > Automate > Batch.
  • In the Batch dialog box:
    • Choose your new action from the Action dropdown.
    • Select the Source Folder where your photos are saved.
    • Choose a Destination Folder to save the edited photos.

Step 7: Run the Batch Process

  • Click OK. Photoshop will automatically open each photo, apply your action, and save the results in the destination folder.

Step 8: Check Your Edited Photos

  • Go to the destination folder to see your photos with the applied edits.

That’s it! Your action is now applied to all your photos in one quick process.
