I love using actions!! I much prefer that to trying to edit from scratch myself. I only use Elements 10 (soon lightroom too!) so I was a bit bummed out that the Autoloader isn’t available for Elements…till I realized that Elements seems to have this already as a built in plugin. To be honest I haven’t yet used it but it looks very very similar!

Shortcut keys are something I would love to learn!! I use a few very basic ones but I’d love to really know how to use them more!! I KNOW that would save time!! =)

I typically don’t save the psd files.

I usually jot down what I do (as in which layers or actions I use) if it’s outside the ordinary edits I usually make with fusion actions. That way if I have to re-edit, I know what I did.

Definitely meant to type .psd not pds… Coffee anyone?

I loved this post! Thank you so much – I definitely need something to help speed up the editing process.

A question though… do you typically save both the .pds file with all of your fusion layers, or do you just save the final .jpg version? I’ve been saving both just in case I need the .pds for something (although I rarely do). But I’m wondering if it’s necessary? From what you’ve said, it doesn’t look as though you save them.
