What Is a Photoshop Action?

In Photoshop, actions allow for the recording and playback of a series of steps. So you can quickly apply a recorded effect without having to reproduce those steps manually. This can be a huge time-saving device as you can identify repetitive tasks in your workflow and record these steps as a custom action.

Then that action can quickly be played back at just the press of a button. Photoshop actions have huge potential as they can be used to create very complex and intricate effects quickly and easily.
