To move action sets around and reposition them inside the Actions palette, simply click on an action set, then keep your mouse button held down and drag the set to its new position. To make it easier to drag the action from one set into the other, I'm first going to move the "My Actions" set above the Frames set. To place a copy of the Photo Corners action inside my new "My Actions" set, I'm simply going to drag the action from the Frames set into the "My Actions" set while holding down my Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key, which will create a copy of the action set as I drag. Moving Action Sets Inside The Actions Palette Let's make a copy of the Photo Corners action, which is inside the Frames set, and place it into our new set. The new action set appears in the Actions palette.Īt the moment, we have a new action set with absolutely nothing in it. The easiest way to create a new action set is to click on the New Action Set icon at the bottom of the Actions palette (it's the icon that looks like a folder): I know, it's a rule and no one likes rules, but there's just no getting around this one. All actions must be placed in an action set. You can have a single action in a set or hundreds of actions, it makes no difference. If you create a new action, or make a copy of an existing action, it must be placed inside an action set. It's important to note that all actions must be placed inside action sets. As we've already learned, an action set is really just a folder of sorts that actions are stored in. The first thing we need to do, then, is create a new action set. Also, since the action we want to edit is found in one of the action sets that installed with Photoshop (in this case, the Frames action set), it's a good idea for us to create a new action set and then place the copy of our action inside the new set, rather than making changes to any of Photoshop's default settings.ĭownload this tutorial as a print-ready PDF! This way, you'll always have the original if you need it. Whenever you're editing an action, it's always best to make a copy of the action first and edit the copy, rather than editing the original. Now that we've finished stepping through the Photo Corners action and we know which steps we want to change, we're ready to edit the action! There's a couple of steps we'll need to edit in order to change the colors the action uses, and there's also a couple of steps we can probably get rid of altogether, or at least disable.
