Hello y'all
I've edited a picture of an old house.... made it look like it was taken in the 1920's. Love the way it looks, I used multiple tools... gradient overlays, noise, sepia tones....on and on..... Now I want to take every action I used from my layers pallet and apply them to the next 20 photos. Is that possible? How do I do this? (FYI, I'm using CS3)

PLEASE HELP!!

Hi Jim,

To do that, you'll need to record an Action.

To bring up your action panel, go to: Window > Actions.

Click on the new paper icon, set a name, and Photoshop will start recording all that you do.

When you're done making all your edits and adding filters, stop the recording, then go to: File > Automate > Batch. This will then allow you to apply the action recorded to a folder of images.

Here's some youtube videos on how to use actions: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&search_query=how+to+use+photoshop+actions&aq=f

And here's how to use the batch command:

Best of luck!
