Actions-CS3

Does anyone know how to set up actions on CS3. I tried, but it does not seem to work, so I must be missing something.

WINDOW
ACTIONS
Create a new action (bottom of pulldown 2nd symbol from right)
Give your ACTION a name
Hit RECORD

Do your stuff you want to record

DON'T forget to end RECORD by hitting blue box bottom of pulldown 1st symbol on left

Your new ACTION will appear on list
Easy peezy, have fun

cheers Lilly

And.....maybe needless to say: To play action; Highlight action in list and press play button.

If you are familiar with macros in other packages, Photoshop actions are much the same. They are simply a record of sequential tasks which you can then repeat by running the 'action' or macro.

Thank you. I will give it another try. I had tried to set it up so it would work if you hit the F2 key, but hitting that key did not do anything...

IS this a feature in PS CS1 as well?

Yes, hit Alt + F9 or click on the Actions tab of the history pallet, or click on Window > Actions.
