Together, we will explore the new possibilities of the Actions Panel in Photoshop. We will discover how to efficiently search for uninstalled actions, apply them creatively, and refine the results with image editing knowledge. Along the way, we will learn where AI reaches its limits and how we can achieve optimal results through manual corrections. Finally, I will give you tips for your further development and invite you to become part of the community.
🎛️ Introduction to the New Actions Panel (00:00 - 01:12)
• The Photoshop Beta version offers many new possibilities for workflow optimization
• The new Actions Panel provides access to additional materials, presets, and templates
• Previously complicated automations can now be easily accessed
• Switching between classic and new action views via the burger menu
🛠️ Functionality of the New Actions Panel (01:13 - 02:30)
• Search for actions that are not installed but can still be made available
• Example: Searching for 'black and white' shows several uninstalled presets
• Preview by hovering the mouse over the presets
• The preview shows which layers and filters will be created
🧩 Advanced Application Possibilities (02:31 - 04:02)
• Actions can be applied in different ways through the three-dot menu
• The 'apply to background' option automatically creates a color key effect
• Important message: AI and automation make many things easier, but they have limits
• The challenge is recognizing where AI does not work correctly (example: transparent windows)
🔍 Analysis and Correction of the AI Result (04:03 - 05:07)
• Detailed examination of the generated Smart Object with Camera Raw Filter
• Explanation of the applied settings (monochrome profile, black/white adjustments)
• The generated mask is a filter mask, not a classic layer mask
• Note on the necessity of manual corrections
🖌️ Manual Post-Processing (05:08 - 06:26)
• Demonstration of manual correction with the brush
• Explanation of why certain areas (windows, reflections) need to be edited
• AI cannot correctly decide which reflections should also be black and white
• Emphasis on the necessity of foundational knowledge for post-processing
📚 Conclusion and Further Resources (06:27 - 07:24)
• Recommendation: Learn the basics (layers, masks, tools)
• Don't leave everything to AI
