What is Photoshop Action?

Photoshop action is a series of commands that you can run automatically on a single file or a batch of files. This automate task work by recording commands and operations in the Actions palette. It’s really useful especially when you have to perform the same task on multiple images. An action can include menu commands and most operations you perform with tools from the toolbox. You can even record the playing of other actions. You store the actions in sets within the Actions palette.

Most commands and tool operations are recordable in actions. Actions can include stops that let you perform tasks that cannot be recorded (for example, using a painting tool). Actions can also include modal controls that let you enter values in a dialog box while playing an action. You can also action to create droplets, which are small applications that automatically process all files that are dragged onto their icon.
