Actions and Automation in Photoshop 2020

Description

I have a simple philosophy in Photoshop, if you are doing the same thing over and over, you are doing it wrong. There must be a quicker way. I have observed many people’s workflows and I often cringe. Most people waste too much time, they are spending hours, or even days toiling away for days on tasks that could be easily automated, or performed in a few keystrokes. I too made all those mistakes, and wasted all that time in the past. Slaving away, knowing there must be a better way, but no one showed me.

Some may call it earning your dues. I call it being inefficient. So, I made a point of learning how to work efficiently, after all, I have a computer, shouldn’t that be doing all the heavy lifting for me? I found out almost everything in Photoshop can be automated, and now automation is part of my daily workflow. Now, I go home at a reasonable hour each night and no longer work weekends, (that’s a big deal for a self employed person). Automation isn’t just for the big stuff too, you can be saving time on every image you are working on, even automating small tasks, reducing 10 clicks to a single click.
WHAT’S IN THIS COURSE

This course contains 21 lessons in full HD video. The lessons take you from the beginning; running and creating simple actions that can automate most tasks. You will then learn how to create more complex actions and then batch process them to multiple images. You will become intimately familiar with actions and be creating conditional actions, droplets and even data driven workflows. Yikes, that sounds hard? There is absolutely no programming required and anyone can do it. The only prerequisite is a basic knowledge of how to use Photoshop.

Everything we will be doing is currently in Photoshop 2020. We will also be using scripts and workflows to speed up the way you do everyday tasks such as combining all your windows into a single layered document in a few clicks, making and using LUTs, editing a single photo and applying that setting to all the photos in a folder without leaving bridge. You will also learn how to create contact sheets and many more time-slashing things.

You won’t approach Photoshop the same way after this course.
