  1. 10 Insanely Useful Photoshop Actions Pre-Made For Web Designers !!!!!!!
  2.  
  3. For many, Photoshop is an essential piece of their web designer’s toolkit. As part of the Adobe CC suite of tools, Photoshop is an app that all web designers should, at least, be familiar with.
  4. Whether you’re creating custom graphics and logos for your websites or sketching out prototypes for clients, Photoshop is a powerful piece of software that can help you produce some great work, while enabling you to save time and effort. Furthermore, adding Photoshop to your web design toolkit needn’t mean breaking the bank.
  5. One powerful aspect of Photoshop that isn’t widely known about is its actions feature. Photoshop actions allow you to record a sequence of tasks for playback on demand. This makes Photoshop actions perfect for automating those repetitive or complex tasks you carry out on a regular basis.
  6. In this article, we’ll be starting out with a brief introduction to this powerful feature of Photoshop, before sharing 10 insanely useful Photoshop actions for web designers to help speed up your workflow.
  7. What Are Photoshop Actions?
  8.  
  9. Photoshop Actions for Web Designers Action Example
  10. Photoshop actions are a sequence of steps or actions that have been recorded
  11. Photoshop actions are best described as a series of actions or steps, carried out in Photoshop, which have been recorded and saved as an action file. These sequences of actions can include anything you can do in Photoshop.
  12. This could include creating new documents with specific dimensions, resizing an image, drawing shapes, applying filters, sketching out a wireframe, and saving a file in a specific folder on your computer.
  13. Photoshop Actions for Web Designers Grid Layout
  14. This action created a grid layout that web designers will find useful
  15. Once an action has been recorded, it can be played back at any time. As Photoshop actions can include just a few or many steps, they have the potential to save you lots of time and effort. They can also be a good way to avoid the need to memorize certain sequences, such as optimizing a photo, applying a certain effect, or creating a wireframe layout in a new Photoshop file.
  16. As these action files can easily be exported and imported into the Photoshop software, they are perfect for sharing amongst users. This helps you to build up a library of time-saving process that you can playback at the touch of a button.
  17. Actions can also be a great way to learn more advanced techniques in Photoshop. As you can view the individual steps that make up an action, you can learn what’s involved in creating a certain effect with this sometimes-overwhelming piece of software.
  18. All Photoshop users are free to create and distribute their own actions. This means there are plenty of useful actions available as free downloadable files from the internet. There are also many commercial Photoshop actions that have been created by expert users to help others apply more advanced effects to their images or save more time when working.
  19. Now you’re aware of the benefits of Photoshop actions, let’s find out how to use them, before checking out 10 Photoshop actions for web designers that can help you work smarter.
  20. How to Create Your Own Photoshop Actions
  21.  
  22. If you already use photoshop regularly there are probably a handful of tasks you repeat all the time. Well, instead of repeating them step by step each time you can record them as actions and then complete them with a single click.
  23. For example, let’s say you always apply certain image cropping and/or sizing to image elements for your blog posts or pages.
  24. Here’s how you would record those as actions:
  25. First, go to Window > Actions. A new control panel will appear.
  26. photoshop-actions-panel
  27. Click the “create new action” icon (next to the trash can icon) and a dialogue box will appear.
  28. photoshop-actions-record-dialogue-box
  29. You’ll be able to name your action as well as assign it to a new or existing set of actions. When you’re ready, click “record” and simply walk through the steps you’d like to automate.
  30. When you’ve completed your desired steps, click the “stop” button icon next to the red “record” icon in the actions panel.
  31. stop-record-play-icons
  32. Now you’ve got a new action. Whatever steps your just recorded–whether they’re resizing your images, applying filters, effects, or anything else–you can now apply them to another image simply by selecting the action and clicking the “play” icon.
  33. How to Use Pre-Made Photoshop Actions
  34.

  36. Photoshop Actions for Web Designers Action File Explorer
  37. Photoshop action files have the .atn extension
  38. If you are downloading Photoshop action files from the internet, they will typically be archived into a zip file, which can be unpacked with an app like WinRAR. After extracting the archive to unpack the action file, you have a few options for adding it to Photoshop:
  39. Double click on the action file to import it into Photoshop
  40. Copy the action file into the Photoshop Actions folder on your computer
  41. Drag-and-drop the actions file into Actions panel within Photoshop

  45. Photoshop Actions for Web Designers Action Panel
  46. Photoshop Actions are displayed in their own window

  48. You’re also free to view and edit any of the steps that make up an action. This gives you the option of modifying them to better meet your needs. Reviewing the individual steps of an action can also help you learn what’s required to create a certain effect in Photoshop.
  49. If you want to create your own actions, simply click on the Record button on the Actions window and perform the steps you’d like to save as a reusable action.

SONY XPERIA XZ REVIEW

By  Chris Martin   | 31 Oct 16 Share Tweet Send Comments PRICE WHEN REVIEWED £539 inc VAT SONY XPERIA XZ REVIEW Announced during  IFA 2016 in Berlin , Sony’s Xperia XZ is the latest flagship smartphone to enter the 2016 market, boasting impressive tech, especially in the camera department - but how does it compare to the likes of  Samsung’s Galaxy S7 , or the HTC 10? Here's our Sony Xperia XZ review.  See also:   Best phone 2016 . Also see:  Best Black Friday Phone Deals Sony's range of smartphone is quite possibly more confusing than ever, but it's partly because it's in a transition period. It's leaving the flagship Z range behind – as well as the other letters such as E, M and C – in favour of the new X line which will cover all sizes and budgets.

the full review of Google Pixel XL

Image
Design Let’s address the elephant in the room – the Pixel XL is basically the closest you’ll ever come to an iPhone running Android. Somewhere in Cupertino, there’s likely to be a team of lawyers pouring over Google’s latest flagship and looking at every patent, which is likely what Google did when coming up with this design. By way of comparison, the Nexus line-up has always offered quirky, unique designs  (though sometimes closely inspired by Google’s partner OEMs designs)  that stood out amongst a sea of competition, and the generic design of the Pixel XL removes this. The front especially doesn’t stand out at all, and you could easily mistake it for another generic smartphone, especially with the bottom chin beneath the display essentially being wasted space. The design itself is almost certain to be the most polarizing element of the Pixel XL and personally, I’m on the fence. While the design was generic at first, it has definitely grown on me but at the same...
