I’m amazed. I think you’ve gotten as stupid as humanly possible and then you prove me wrong.

Adobe Photoshop has a host of automation tools, one of the most versatile and powerful of them is called an action. In fact, some of the other automation commands, such as batches and droplets, derive their functionality from actions.

An action is like a macro or script; however, while scripts have a reputation for being confusing and difficult, actions are very easy to create. If you know how to use Photoshop, you know most of what you need to create your own actions.

For example, let’s say that you have 100 digital photos that you’d like to post on the Internet. Normally, you’d have to load each one, scale, color correct, sharpen, and then save them one at a time. Alternatively, you could create an action that does all the "dirty work" for you – and best of all, you’ll get consistent results in far less time than you could’ve achieved by doing it manually!

Although actions can be used to automate all sorts of tasks, some common uses include:

batch-processing multiple images;
applying consistent treatments;
repeating tedious or mundane tasks; or
distributing reproducible special effects.
To better understand actions, let’s begin with a comprehensive overview of the Actions panel, including the commands available in the Actions panel menu. We’ll then use these commands to create a couple of actions of our very own!

Introduction to the Actions Panel
The Actions panel is sort of like a "mini action editor": it allows you to create (record), edit, load, save, delete and play actions (among other things). To show or hide the Actions panel, use the Window

It is difficult to explain the use of Action without going to a professional for help
I use Actions a lot, and only trying to help those who are not familiar with the process
Actions can speed up a set of commands, such as multiple pics to process
