How to Load Photoshop Action

To load Photoshop actions, follow these steps:

1. Open Adobe Photoshop: Launch Adobe Photoshop on your computer. Make sure you have the application installed and updated to the latest version.
2. Locate the Actions Panel: In Photoshop, go to the top menu and click on “Window.” From the drop-down menu, select “Actions.” This will open the Actions panel, usually docked on the right side of the Photoshop interface.
3. Load Actions: In the Actions panel, click on the small menu icon (represented by three horizontal lines) in the upper-right corner of the panel. From the menu that appears, select “Load Actions.”
4. Browse for the Action File: A file browser window will open. Browse to the location on your computer where the Photoshop action file (with a .atn extension) is saved. Select the file and click “Load” or “Open” (the exact wording may vary depending on your operating system).
5. View Loaded Actions: Once the action file is loaded, you will see a new set of actions appear in the Actions panel. The actions may be organized into different folders or displayed as individual actions, depending on how the action file was created.
6. Play or Apply an Action: To play or apply an action, simply select the desired action from the Actions panel. Then, click on the “Play” button at the bottom of the panel (represented by a right-facing triangle). Photoshop will execute the steps and effects included in the action.

That’s it! You have successfully loaded and applied Photoshop actions. You can repeat the process to load additional action files or organize them into different sets for easy access.
