In this example you will create an action to resize and resample your images properly for usage in a web photo scrapbook or in an e-mail.
An action is a process of recording a series of steps using the Actions panel. Once an action has been properly recorded you can play it back on one image or an entire folder of images.
In Adobe Photoshop CS4 open an image that you want to resize and resample.
From the menu bar choose Window > Actions to open the Actions panel.
In the Actions panel click the folder icon, Create new set at the bottom of the Actions panel.
The New Set dialog box will open. Name the folder, “My Actions.” Click OK.
This will create a folder for you to put your actions into.
