Actions
The Actions palette lets you combine a set of
commands into a single command or action and
then execute the action on a single file or multiple
files within a folder. With the Actions palette, you
can record, play, edit, and delete commands to
easily automate common techniques.
Adobe Photoshop offers some ready-made actions
you can run on a file or set of files. You’ll use one
of these actions to add a vignette effect to the
image. But first, to get the best results from the
vignette, you’ll flatten the file’s layers into one
layer. Then you’ll make a selection to set the
vignette’s border.
