As I was perusing the various trades set up at PSW, there was little that I did not recognize, own or have read about. I remember coming around the corner and seeing a lime green and black logo, with a bunch of fellow photog’s milling about…mmm this looks different.
Indeed it was, although new to me, the company Action Runner has been around for about two years, but it was appearing at PSW for the first time, with a beefed up version of their software.
This product, made by a photographer, is a HUGH time saver if you are using Photoshop actions ! I’m fairly new to Actions but could readily see the benefit and time saving that this product allowed and pounced on the chance to spend $160 (special show price)…..in another twenty minutes it was going to be $180..because during the demo it was announced that the PSW trade show was soon ending ….kind of like last call at my favorite bar, but I was still imbibing in my passion..new software..(sorry Prez)
The beauty of this software is that it allows you to take photo shop actions that you have created or purchased and drag and drop them onto this external application, then you have the option to save as JPG, and to a drive or folder of your choice. (It is not a plug in, but it seems to work inside PS seamlessly..even better than some plugins that I own…)
This is hugh time savings for me, now I can edit my photos in PS and then batch them off to actions,… or at a later date, I can modify my actions and the rebatch my photo masters and have the new actions applied to those photos. Neat very Neat !
I may not really doing the program enough justice here, and you should go over to the company’s web site and take a look at their video instructions. The product also runs on a MAC or pc ACTIONRUNNER
Hey Ed,
Thanks for the great words about ActionRunner! So glad you stopped by the booth!
