Installing Photoshop Actions

There are multiple ways to install Photoshop actions. For starters, you can drag the downloaded actions into the “Actions” folder contained within the “Presets” folder in your Photoshop application folder. Note that actions placed here may require a Photoshop restart to appear in the actions menu.

Alternatively, you can hit the little arrow on the right of the actions menu and click on the “Load Actions” option. This allows you to navigate to any actions on your computer and load them instantly into Photoshop.

Now that you can install Photoshop actions and even create your own, download a few of the free options below and start making your images look amazing with a single click!

3. BEGIN RECORDING THE ACTION

Click record button.

4. DO YOUR STUFF

Now do whatever it is that you wanted to do. Perform all the tasks, clicks, option settings, and image adjustments that you want included in your action.
