I’ll show you exactly how to do that in just a moment, but first: for this watermark scenario, we also need to understand how batch processing works together with actions to speed up our workflow. Instead, I can record these 10 steps as a Photoshop action so I don’t have to do each of these things manually. That means I have to repeat all 10 steps 100 times. Now imagine I have 100 photos I need to do this for. Adjust the opacity or blending mode of the watermark.Bring in your watermark on a separate layer.Imagine how much time this saves! Think about it: what are the steps of applying a watermark to a photo in Photoshop? So today I’m going to show you how Photoshop Actions and Batch Processing are going to make you a faster & much more efficient graphic designer.Ī Photoshop Action is simply a series of steps you take in Photoshop that can be recorded, saved & reused again and again.įor example, if I want to put my watermark on a bunch of photos, I can record that process in Photoshop once, save it as an action, and then run that action on any photo I want to apply my watermark to. But again: the thing she never forgot? Batch Processing! Or at least not for the same reasons I do. However, she took a different career path and seldom uses Photoshop anymore. Yes- she and I both went to graphic design school together. It’s a skill she picked up working as a photography assistant years ago when we were still in graphic design school. I have this running joke with my twin sister, Brooke about how she’s a one-trick-pony when it comes to Photoshop.
