Trying to lighten your workload and learning new ways to do things faster is important for every skilled and clever designer. One of the most gratifying and neat, yet often underrated, Photoshop features is actions. Actions are premade sets of commands that allow you to achieve almost any desired effect within seconds. Actions are extremely handy if you don’t want to spend a lot of time on your project or you’re a beginner and unfamiliar with some advanced techniques. Another cool thing is that everyone is welcome to create their own actions. Thus, you can share yours with the whole world and even earn some money. Where can you find the most useful and creative actions? Well, just like with other Photoshop related things, my answer is GraphicRiver. This article presents 50 stunning and useful premium Photoshop actions from GraphicRiver to ease your workflow.
Pretty cool, huh? But once you feel you’re past that beginner level you can start using actions a bit differently. Most of the actions come with editable layers so you don’t need to limit yourself with just the effects the author’s provided. You can edit the layers, change adjustments and delete the parts you don’t need. It’s really useful when, for example, you need to retouch some photos but don’t have the time for it. You can easily apply some of your favourite actions and do some minor tweaks. Actions are also great source of inspiration and a way to learn new techniques. Some of the actions around the web are absolutely fantastic and you can learn a lot from them. Once you’ve broken down couple of them you can start to build your own ones. Who knows, maybe one day yours will be featured in an article like this.
