    I was looking around today, and saw some actions that look like they ight come in handy. Does anyone here use them or even make some for some of the things you do alot? If so please post the ones you use most often or even attach them here so the rest of us can learn a liitle more about them.

    Photoshop has actions, that do certain things when you play them, like make wood, or molten metal. Someone had made them with all of the steps to make these appear on your work. I was playing with them and thought there has to be someone that uses them.

    So lets say you make a wallpaper using certain brushes and layer styles, you 'record' what your making and then save the action. If someone else plays it on photoshop, it will make the same wallpaper by using the exact same steps.

    I downloaded some actions from deviant art once, but I never really found a use for them.

    I've used one, but got lazy on the actual work and it turned out horrible. I think unless it's a complicated task, it can be a waste of time trying to find what you need (unless you accomodate to the action, which may be). Else wise, custom ones for one's needs generally are good.
