Photoshop Automator Actions v3.0

Ben Long has become an Automator junky, it’s obvious! And in doing so, he’s provided Photoshop Mac users with a rich set of tools that now go far beyond what you can accomplish with Photoshop’s built-in Actions alone. Of course, all along Automator has had the ability to reach out beyond Photoshop to automate your workflow, and Photoshop’s own actions still held sway over such tasks as saving for web formats, which I, for one, couldn’t do without. This 3rd edition of the freeware Photoshop Automator Actions has finally added support for Save for Web, as well as several new actions. It’s a truly amazing set of tools, and if you find yourself building workflows with them, by all means drop Ben a few bucks in his PayPal account! Heck, he deserves it for doing such excellent documentation alone! Included in the download are example workflows and a 70-page PDF file explaining the whole shebang.

Besides this automator pack, Long’s Complete Digital Photography website has a section filled with other Automator actions of interest to photographers. Be sure to check out the whole set of Automator Actions, including tools for integrating a workflow between Aperture and Photoshop and specialized functions for incorporating Raw files.

Just for fun, I’ve included a screenshot of the entire set of actions that are now included in Version 3.0 of Photoshop Automator Actions. Enjoy!
