[@mannyd9328]

Thank you for showing the wrong way of creating action and the correct way. Will be watching this a few more times for sure. You are very good at explaining why it’s done in the way that you are demonstrating with such detail. Just subscribed.👍🏼

[@erwinsmith4586]

NICE

[@TaavP]

so usefull

[@jimlad01]

Really useful and helpful. Thanks very much. I'd love to see one on fixing cracks all over an image that would take to long to paint in and wonder if your actions might be useful in that scenario?

[@johnnypereira81]

If i made a action saving my photos edits to a particular folder ... Ans then if i opened any other folders.... Then when i play my action it doesnt open the same folder i assigned whislt creating the action

[@ivan_12345]

Hi, Max! Can you play your FS action several times in the same document (with different settings)? I've recorded mine and have a problem - it messes up the layers, just as you've shown at the beginning, though I've used only the keyboard & menu to record it properly. I guess, it's the naming problem of the Apply image command. If I rename the layers, it works fine again.

[@maxbridge8921]

I seem to be able to, I just tested it quickly, but I did notice a slight exposure change when running it again so would need to understand why that occurred. I did have to close the group before running it again but there was no issues with layers or any of the things you describe...

[@ivan_12345]

@@maxbridge8921 do you use the Apply image command? earlier, when I used Gaussian blur + High pass, I didn't have this problem, because I selected the layers from the keyboard. But Gaussian blurs the edges, so I don't use it anymore.

[@FusionOfPolygons]

Great tutorial thank you. Can I ask what is that powdery surface made of?

[@maxbridge8921]

Of course! I can't remember exactly what it was but it needs to be a very fine powder. I went to my local DIY shop and I think I ended up getting some kind of cement mix. It may have been something else but it was definitely in that section. Sorry I can't be more precise.

[@FusionOfPolygons]

Square Mountain Awesome thank you.

[@carlomarchi8611]

i know it is out of context, but whihc kind of material do you use for the background?

[@maxbridge8921]

People have asked me that a lot and I always forget exactly what it was. It was some kind of building material I can't remember which. Something like cement mix but not. Sorry I can't be more specific. If you go to your local DIY shop you'll find something that works.

[@BubbleGendut]

Excellent 👍 is there a way to sort actions in button mode?

[@maxbridge8921]

It's been a long time since I've done that but from memory can you re-order them in the "non" button mode? If not, I'll have to double check

[@dimalozz]

The best way is to add shortcuts for most usefull actions. I wrote names of actions on my keyboard buttons fron F2 to F12 - it is the easiest to use tham and don't forget the right button 😉

[@BubbleGendut]

I am now using the Actions Panel that comes with TK8 in which I can sort actions and also they launch with 1 Click

[@jo69123]

Do you have your actions somewhere, in order to do download them?

[@Devilbresci]

I'm breaking my head to solve a problem with an Action. In my Action I create a group with the elements inside the group, then I minimize the group so that the components are not shown, only if I open the group. But every time I apply the action, the group I created comes open and not closed the way I created it. Could you help me to resolve this?

[@ivan_12345]

you should create all the layers first, then select them and create a group (as shown in this video, rewatch it carefully)

[@silvanabrugada5493]

Hello! It has not worked for frequency separation. Can you help me with that? Please!!

[@maxbridge8921]

Hey, can you be more specific, what's not worked exactly? Thanks

[@RavageStudio]

How did you create the backgorund for this image?

[@maxbridge8921]

I can't remember the exact powder I used. It was something from a DIY shop, I think some kind of white tiling cement. I know I tried flour but wasn't happy with the effect. The colour was added in Photoshop

[@phoebesolomon7554]

What does inverting the D and B layers achieve? Would you mask back in the parts you want to see from each layer back in like you would with any mask tool?

[@maxbridge8921]

Phoebe Solomon - inverting the white mask just turns it black, in other words the black mask hides the effect. Just as you said, it works in the usual way, when you paint white on the black layer mask it reveals what's inside. In this case that's the dodge or burn curve. Hope that makes sense

[@rontz]

Hey Max, as I'm into PS since about 20 years, it's really hard to find stuff that I don't really know - and of course I knew about actions and how to use and create them. I don't like actions though, so I never dug deep into them and your quick video showed me a bunch of new possibilities which will make me use actions on a regular basis from now on, I guess! Great and very valuable vid!

[@maxbridge8921]

Thanks! Happy I could show you the value of Actions. If you spend a lot of time in PS, creating your own set of Actions is extremely helpful. People have asked if I'd ever sell mine and who knows maybe one day but the real value of Actions comes when you craft your own. Much more valuable than purchasing someone else's

[@ivan_12345]

LOL, what have you been doing in PS for 20 years without actions? 😄 you've wasted a lot of time

[@dimalozz]

The best way is to add shortcuts for most usefull actions. I wrote names of actions directly on my keyboard buttons from F2 to F12 - it is the easiest method to use actions and don't forget the right button 😉
