Many friends who often use PS often overlook the action panel known as the "PS recorder". Action allows you to combine a series of PS drawing commands into a new command group - action (action). Using these command groups, you can automatically execute all the commands stored in it in one step (press the play button), which is similar to Batch processing in the DOS era. More like the VCD next to the TV. For example, you can press the record command in the action panel to record a series of drawing commands, and then play it back on another computer like a DVD. It allows you to easily reproduce frequently used techniques.
1. Display mode of action control panel
Open Photoshop, select Windows--Show Action in the menu command to open the Action control panel (Figure 1).
Figure 1
The default mode of the control panel is list display. You can also choose the button display mode. Select Button Mode in the Action control panel menu to enter button display mode (as shown in Figure 2). Select it again to return to list display.
Figure 2
When the list is displayed, each command will be listed in detail in the action column. Each command in the action can be displayed in each command column, and the value of the command can be displayed in the command.
2. Expansion and folding of actions
In the Action control panel, each action set is contained in a small package icon. Click the inverted triangle to the left of the small package icon to make it stand to expand and collapse each command. Click the inverted triangle to the left of the action. Expand the action with parameter settings by making it stand so that you can see the default parameter settings.
3. The check mark and box on the left side of the action panel
The check mark on the left side of the action panel is red, which means some commands in the command set are not selected, that is, they are not executed when the action is played. If all the check marks are selected, all commands in the command set will be executed. The box to the right of the check mark indicates that the parameter setting dialog box will pop up when the command is executed. The box is red, indicating that the parameter setting dialog box will not pop up for some commands or all commands during execution, and the default parameter values will be used.
4. Function keys under the action panel
The five buttons are stop, record, play, create new action package, create new action, and delete. When you want to record your own action, it is recommended to create a new action package, and then record your new action in this package.
5. The small triangle on the upper right side of the action panel
Don’t forget to click on the black triangle in the upper right corner of the panel to open the drop-down menu of the action panel.

The default action set that comes with Photoshop. After installing PS, there is the action set that comes with photoshop when it is installed in the action panel, including rectangular buttons. , square buttons, circular buttons and other effects. Friends who are interested can try them one by one. However, the effects of these PS action sets are very average and I often delete them after installation.
