How to Install Actions in Photoshop CS and CC

Note: I used Photoshop CC for this tutorial, but the steps are exactly the same for Photoshop
CS 5 – 6 (and possibly before but I am not familiar with earlier versions).

The good news is that installing actions in Photoshop CS is very simple. The first step
to loading the actions is to locate the Action Panel. If you cannot find it, go to Window
in the top menu bar, then down to Actions and your action panel will pop out.

If your panel icons are reduced, meaning the names are not showing, the icon for the
Action panel is the “play” button, a triangle on its side.
Once the Action panel is open, go to the top, right-hand corner and click on the small
icon of a few lines and upside-down triangle. When the menu drops down, click on
Load Actions option. Navigate to where your actions are saved and install the .atn file.

Your action is loaded and ready to use!

Run the Action

On the action panel, select the action and press play.

It will takes from few seconds to few minutes, it depends on the machine you are
using.

At the finish of the action a message will prompt to inform you that the render is done.
