They’re also an excellent way for photographers to quickly and easily pass on their favorite techniques to others. Today we’ll be looking at how you can make your own, and showcasing 100 fantastic free Photoshop actions to use straight away!</p><p><span id="more-3502"> </span></p><p>In recent years, <a href="http://www.deviantart.com/">DeviantArt</a> has become a huge storehouse for photographers to upload and share Photoshop actions. We sorted through thousands and thousands of these to bring you 100 of our favorite sets, some containing as many as forty or fifty actions in a single download.</p><p>For beginners, we’ll start off with a brief explanation of how to create and install Photoshop actions and then move onto our huge list of actions that are free for you to download and use.</p><p><strong>We have also published a fantastic article explaining how to make your own Lightroom Presets, with 100 amazing examples. <a href="http://photo.tutsplus.com/articles/post-processing-articles/100-free-lightroom-presets-and-how-to-make-your-own/">You can read the article here!</a></strong></p><hr /><h2>Creating Photoshop Actions</h2><p>Recording an action in Photoshop is incredibly simple. Simply open up the “Actions” palette and hit the new action button seen in the image below.</p><p> </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img alt="Free Photoshop Actions" src="http://d2f29brjr0xbt3.cloudfront.net/339_100actions/100Actions-a1.jpg" style="display: inline;" /></div><p> </p><p>This should pop open a new window containing various options for the action. Here you can name the action and place it in a set. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut that will activate the action immediately in Photoshop. This is quite handy for those actions you find yourself using on a daily basis.</p><p> </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img alt="Free Photoshop Actions" src="http://d2f29brjr0xbt3.cloudfront.net/339_100actions/100Actions-a2.jpg" style="display: inline;" /></div><p> </p><p>Once you hit “Record” in the window above, all that’s left is to carry out the steps you’d like to be recorded in the action. Keep in mind that selection sizes, saving and other very specific steps will be replicated exactly in the action. Try to keep your steps generic enough that they’ll work on the full range of images you’ll need the action to apply to.</p><p>When you’ve finished carrying out all the desired steps, hit the “Stop” button in the action menu. Then hit the “Play” button to perform the action on another file.</p><hr /><h2>Installing Photoshop Actions</h2><p>There are multiple ways to install Photoshop actions. For starters, you can drag the downloaded actions into the “Actions” folder contained within the “Presets” folder in your Photoshop application folder. Note that actions placed here may require a Photoshop restart to appear in the actions menu.</p><p> </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img alt="Free Photoshop Actions" src="http://d2f29brjr0xbt3.cloudfront.net/339_100actions/100Actions-a3.jpg" style="display: inline;" /></div><p> </p><p>Alternatively, you can hit the little arrow on the right of the actions menu and click on the “Load Actions” option. This allows you to navigate to any actions on your computer and load them instantly into Photoshop.</p><p> </p><div class="tutorial_image"><img alt="Free Photoshop Actions" src="http://d2f29brjr0xbt3.cloudfront.net/339_100actions/100Actions-a4.jpg" style="display: inline;" /></div><p> </p><p>Now that you can install Photoshop actions and even create your own, download a few of the free options below and start making your images look amazing with a single click!</p><hr /><h2>100 Free Photoshop Actions</h2><h4><a
