Photoshop Actions are very useful for fast photo-editing. You are able to achieve professional effects with just a single click! However, as there are many of them available on the web, I thought it will be easier to pick the one you need if I were to compare them with the same images. Some actions are meant for landscape while some for skin improvements. So here you go

Thanks Dicky! Sorry for the late reply…It’s a crazy week for me.
- To use the Actions, go to Windows > Actions to open up the panel.
- Click on the arrow at the top right of the panel and select Load Actions. Browse to your downloaded .ATN file.
- Open up an image that you wish to apply the action onto.
- Go to Actions Panel, select the Action loaded.
- Press the Play Selection button at the bottom of the panel
This is a very great collection. I would love to see a few more for things like making the image more comicy or have it look a bit like illustrator drawing or so. Thanks!
Johnson my man, thnk U 4 amazing tutorial it`s realy help me. But can u make the tutorial more detail because my photoshop skill is not too good. once again thank man.
@Santhosh Kumar: Hi there, you download the ATN file to your computer. Then from Photoshop, go to Windows > Actions to open up the panel. Click on the small arrow at the right to Load Actions.
great comparison between the actions with similar images. easier to tell the differences this way…cuz i have dl several that works similar and got confused
Great site and a very useful post. I have so many actions I couldn’t try them (let alone use them) in a lifetime, so a recommended set is really useful. Please note that the WCS Wildcat actions have gone AWOL: 404 on click.
Jessa, you need to go Windows > Actions. Click on the small arrow pointing downwards at the top right of the Actions Panel. You shall see the Load Actions command over there
I WISH there was a way to force photoshop to have jpeg as the default pre-selected format choice when you try to save a picture, It’s irritating to keep changing back and forth manually. End up getting arthritis by the time your 25 lol.
