Supercharge Photoshop: Free PS Actions

Photoshop actions can really speed up your work flow and make tasks with many steps happen effortlessly and in seconds. Actions use Photoshop’s own programming language and can be stored and imported for later use too. They are commonly used for tasks like bulk image editing but also have a wide variety of applications.

We’ve gathered some of the best ones that are available for free on the world wide web.
