• Modal operations and tools—as well as tools that record position—use the units
currently specified for the ruler. A modal operation or tool is one that requires you to
press Enter or Return to apply its effect, such as the transformation and crop
commands. Tools that record position include the marquee, slice, gradient, magic
wand, lasso, shape, path, eyedropper, and notes tools.
In Photoshop, when recording an action that will be played on files of different sizes,
set the ruler units to percent. As a result, the action will always play back in the same
relative position in the image.
• You can record the Play command listed on the Actions palette menu to cause one
action to play another.
Creating a new action
When you create a new action, the commands and tools you use are added to the action
until you stop recording.
To create a new action:
1 Open a file.
2 In the Actions palette, click the New Action button , or choose New Action from the
palette menu.
3 Enter a name for the action.
4 (Photoshop) Choose a set from the pop-up menu.
5 If desired, set one or both of the following options:
• Assign a keyboard shortcut to the action. You can choose any combination of a
Function key, the Ctrl key (Windows) or Command key (Mac OS), and the Shift key
(for example, Ctrl+Shift+F3).
• (Photoshop) Assign a color for display in Button Mode.
6 Click Record. The Record button in the Actions palette turns red .
Important: When recording the Save As command, do not change the filename. If you
enter a new filename, Photoshop records the filename and uses that filename each time
you run the action. Before saving, if you navigate to a different folder, you can specify a
different location without having to specify a filename.
7 Choose the commands, and perform the operations you want to record.
8 To stop recording, click the Stop button, choose Stop Recording from the Actions
palette menu, or press the Escape key. To resume recording in the same action, choose
Start Recording from the Actions palette menu.
Recording paths (Photoshop)
The Insert Path command lets you include a complex path (a path created with a pen tool
or pasted from Adobe Illustrator) as part of an action. When the action is played back, the
work path is set to the recorded path. You can insert a path when recording an action or
after it has been recorded.
Note: Playing actions that insert complex paths may require significant amounts of
memory. If you encounter problems, increase the amount of memory available to
Photoshop.
