Hey guys it's Seim here and today I want
to show you how to how to install and
manage Photoshop actions in the
simplest way possible, because it's very
simple but it's much easier if we show
it then then if we say it.
I want to pop over
here and we're going to take a look it
just had a lot of install actions how to
work with actions how to delete actions
how to rearrange.
Right now you can see that I am in kind of a generic
work environment workspace I'm in CC
right now but this is going to work
pretty much the same in any version of
Photoshop now you'll notice right up
here I have my actions palette now
sometimes you'll see this in different
forms because of course in Photoshop you
can move these menus all over the place
you can expand it out and sometimes
you'll like me, have enough real estate
that you'll have it in its own panel
sometimes it won't show up at all and if
that's the case you just want to go up
here to the window menu and you want to
turn on actions and so you can see if I
turn it off the actions palette goes away.
If I turn it back on there is
my actions palette and of course you can
grab it like any panel in Photoshop and
and you can move it around and you can
you can rearrange it and do whatever you want.
Okay let's install some actions I'm
gonna go out of here and I'm going to
actually start from the zip file because
if you're downloading actions you
probably have a zip file that you're
starting with and it's downloaded so the
first thing of course is just like any
zip file you got to unpack the zip file
the zip file is not specific to actions
it's just a file that you'll download
many things on the internet from and so
most computers you're just going to
double-click that zip file and it will
open right out most computers are going
to have a zip utility built in.
Bottom line if you have any problems unzipping
any file it may be that
the zip utility you're using is a little
quirky I've seen this more on
Windows machines and just get an
open-source zip utility like like the
ZIPEG or something like that and use
that install that and use it to unzip.
Let's just go and I'm going to look
for the action file so in this case I've
got the Lumist actions from over at
Seim Effects and I'm going to go to my
actions and what you're looking for is
an ATN file. An ATN file is actions.
Occasionally you'll download an action
file that's is actions but it doesn't have
the .ATN and you can actually if you need to
rename it to a dot ATN if it's named
ATN and you have Photoshop installed
usually all you have to do is actually
double-click this file and you'll see in
my actions palette right here in
Photoshop I now have Lumist right here
Now while we're in here in this mode I'm
going to show you how to delete actions
so you'll notice that the actions you
load an action set as it's called is
basically a folder, okay so I have
Alchemist in here I have a Lumist in
here and I can expand that and you see
all these actions that are part of that
set there's 60 actions or so in the
Lumist set and of course within each
action I can click and I can expand and
see the steps and the scripting that's
inside of the action and then I can
collapse that action now if I go down to
the bottom of the actions panel you'll
see we have some options for
recording actions, if you want to make
your own that's something for another
video, you can create a new action set
again something you would do usually if
you were reorganizing or making your own
actions,and you
can delete so you could delete an
individual action right you could play
an individual action by just selecting
it here and pressing play, or if you're
trying to tidy up you can delete the
whole action set by pressing the
trashcan there. Now another thing you can
do is you can move around so if you grab
the group of actions I can drag it to
the top here for example I can change
the order that it's going to appear at
you can also move actions around within
an action set, you can even drag them to
another action set I'm going to go and
click the Lumist set and I'm gonna hit the
trashcan and it says delete the
selection
and so just like deleting a layer or
something like that I've now removed
Lumist from Photoshop let's go back out
there actually is a couple other ways
you can install actions, one way is to
simply click the ATN and drag it into
Photoshop that usually works; the other
way if you're having some problems is to
go to the little options panel it looks
like three lines at the top of the
actions panel click the options panel
there and you'll see that flyout
and click Load actions and you can just
browse to your actions so in this case
I'm going to go to that folder that I
unzipped on the desktop and I'm just
going to find the action set click open
and once again you see that loaded it
I'm going to drag it to the top right
here. Usually I just double click an
action set and it'll load right out but
there's actually three different ways
that you can get those actions installed
okay now you're in here you've got the
actions of course if you're using like
my Lumist set or my Alchemist set, I'm not
going to dig into how to use those
actions because we actually have
training videos in-depth for those
actions that come with those action sets
and and this this video today is really
for any actions that you're using.
What I want to do though is introduce
you to button mode because generally
this is the best way to run actions like
I showed you you could expand any of
these sets and run them individually but
I'm going to go to button mode again I'm
going to click that flyout the three
little lines at the top right of the
actions panel and I'm going to switch
this to button mode and you can see that
I can have as many rows as I want I kind
of prefer one row, some people like two
rows but I'm going to make this one row;
now you see that all those actions in
the order that they're loaded in are
showing up and when we design actions
here at Seim Studios, we design these
specifically to be conducive to workflow
so everything is color-coded and
categorized and and far and away the
most efficient way to work with this.
This is Lumist that's showing me my tone
map. it's the Total Map on here and I could
hide that and I could start making
selections and I could feather that and
then I could say hey let's let's do a
lighting curve to that area and apply
that and so you know whatever actions
you're using you're going to be able to
apply your effects from here, but the
bottom line is once you're in button
mode your actions are just going to be
kind of organized so I have Lumist
then I have Alchemist down there and I
have everything really tidy and
color-coded. You can organize your
actions however you want, so the bottom
line is you download those actions
you load those actions and then once
you're into Photoshop, when you're out of
button mode you can do your rearranging
right you can reorganize you can delete
action sets you can import new action
sets. Then usually once you get
all organized if you really want a great
action workflow you're just going to
switch over into button mode and now you
can go to town and apply those actions
in any way.
So that is how you install and manage and delete and use photoshop
actions and there's tons of good actions
out there to do really cool things and
help you have more tools at your
fingertips to fulfill your visualization
