actions are basically cool effects for pictures, text, etc. that you can instantly add by clicking a single button..

some examples are making ICE or FIRE text by pressing play and then it'll ask you what you want the text to say

 

could you teach me how i could do this ?

 

you can download actions off actionxchange.com

save the action to your 'actions' folder in your photoshop directory

when you open photoshop, add the new action that you downloaded and then just click 'PLAY'

it automatically makes the certain effect for you

 

I suggest you dont even bother with actions. Theres really not much that they will help you with.

 

yeah... hes right

its better to follow tutorials and get things done rather than using an action... its considered the 'cheap way'

real designers dont use actions but families might use some photo manip actions for their photos and stuff like that
