Actions & Batch Automation in Photoshop - HUGE TIME SAVER

  • Tutorial for custom actions and batch processing automation. Apply edits to hundreds of photos in seconds!!!
    Have you ever wanted to automatically edit and rename a thousand images? Don't do it one file at a time! You can very easily automate this. WORK SMARTER.
    Think about things you do in Photoshop often -- maybe it's a simple blur, color grading, or drop shadow effect. Perhaps you just want to resize your document quickly. Once you "record" a process, you can repeat it with a single click.
    After you have your action set up, go to:
    File - Automation - Batch
    Then, you can apply your custom action to an entire folder of images. Imagine you wanted to instantly convert all of your vacation photos to grayscale for some reason. Easy. OR, maybe you have to convert all of those photos to cmyk and save as a different format. That's a no-brainer.
    Confused? Feel free to ask questions. I read all the comments.
    Thanks for watching!

    FYI: If you already know how to do actions, the BATCH AUTOMATION portion of the tutorial starts around 6:22

    Don’t save them all one by one “like and asshole.” It’s 2:52 AM for me, it’s the holiday season, my batch editing isn’t working and I just laughed so loud at that, that I think I woke up everyone in the house. 😂
    Thanks I needed that!

    Is there a way for me to take the actions and apply them to another image once the image has been manipulated? In other words, do all of this without recording? Can I just take the applied effects to a given file and apply them to others?

    Very helpful tutorial! Just want to say I tried to follow what you did, only by having each image saved as a PNG, but I had a 'save as' window show up for each file. I think I solved this problem by ticking 'Override Action "Save As" Commands and that seemed to work, although I had one duplicate file as a PSD for some reason.

    How do you get around this Save As window popping up every time an item in the batch is pulling up a Save As window that is assuming you're saving layers and doesn't even give you the option to save as a jpg. And saying that I think I solved my own problem because I was doing all these steps non-destructively.
    So if you want to batch, you should go the route of destructive editing on your actions?

    Hooolllyyy fuck bro I read this book on Photoshop earlier this year that mentioned this. That planted the seed of an idea. I have an online business that sells artwork, and a key stage of the product addition is creating high-quality mockup images for each piece of artwork, which is incredibly repetitive and tedious. This is a HUGE time-saver for me! Really appreciate the video!
