The invention of actions in Photoshop opened up a whole new arena for photographers wishing to improve the look of their work. They are particularly useful in Wedding Photography, where many images need to be edited in a short amount of time.
Actions can be accessed from the Actions panel in Photoshop, where you will find several default actions already there. In short, an action is a tool, which performs multiple repetitive tasks with the press of one button. For example, there are actions for creating soft filters, for turning Wedding Photographs to black and white images and for almost any other action you want to perform.
Many leading Photographers, as well as graphic designers have their own actions, which they have made and are available for sale. There are also millions of photoshop actions available for free on the internet. You can also make your own actions in photoshop, quickly and easily by pressing the record button before you perform a task and pressing the stop button afterwards. You can name this action whatever you like and use it every time you wish to perform that task, with the click of one button.
There are many different types of actions, but some more popular ones will cover different sharpening tools, resizing images, adding borders and giving the image a particular look, like old fashioned, sepia or modern. Some very popular action sets for sale include Totallyrad actions, and Kubota actions. Both of these are utilised by Wedding Photographers extensively to quickly put out the beautiful images that their clients seek.
