hey everyone it's mike from filtergrade
0:06
and today i'm going to teach you how to
0:07
install photoshop actions
0:09
so typically when you get photoshop
0:11
actions you'll download a zip folder or
0:14
and to start you're going to want to
0:16
navigate to where you have that folder
0:18
i have mine on my desktop so you double
0:20
click and open your folder and then
0:23
file that says atn at the end of it
0:26
normally there'll probably be a help
0:27
file or a note file in here but just
0:30
pick this action or this actions file
0:33
then you're going to want to go to
0:34
photoshop and make sure you have the
0:36
actions panel selected you can
0:38
get this open by clicking window actions
0:41
and it shows up there so there's two
0:44
ways to install photoshop actions
0:46
they're both equally as simple but
0:48
they're just different methods so the
0:50
first would be to get the folder and
0:53
double-click the atn file and then it
0:56
should install for you right there
0:58
as you can see the next way
1:01
would be the drop down in the actions
1:03
panel and then click load actions
1:05
then navigate to the same folder double
1:07
click and it should install for you
1:10
so now that we have the actions file
1:12
i'll just show you a little
1:14
brief introduction to how it works so
1:16
you're going to want to
1:17
it's going to look like this when you
1:19
open it from there you're going to want
1:22
open the little group and click the
1:25
action make sure it's selected make sure
1:27
your background is selected or your
1:31
then click play and the action
1:34
should go on your photo
1:38
then you can i'll try the next one and
1:40
the action is simply applied to your
1:41
photo and if you open the group you can
1:44
basically an action is just a series of
1:46
steps like someone else's workflow
1:49
being applied to your own photo so
1:51
that's just the basics for photoshop
1:54
next we're going to cover some tips for
1:58
organizing your photoshop actions as you
2:00
can see i have hundreds of groups here
2:02
and i'll show you some of those tips and
2:03
tricks and how you can do that
2:05
