Rewind 10 years, there I am spending hours upon hours in Photoshop creating pieces for fun that are similar to the outcomes of these Actions (I will be the first to admit that these outcomes are slightly better), fast foward 10 years, you can do it in one click. Rediculous! Sevenstyles, you have blown my mind. Whilst part of me thinks that by using actions you are missing out on a huge learning curve (look back at the steps the action goes through in the actions panel if you want to learn how it is done and try to recreate it), another part thinks that not everyone is a designer and those of you who are will understand how relentless and fastpaced the industry can be.

Photoshop CS6 auf Englisch umstellen » Cindy & Sebastian Hochzeitsfotografie Video-Tutorials für Photoshop sind oftmals in Englisch. Mit einer deutschen Version von Photoshop ist es daher manchmal schwierig, die genaue Bezeichnung der einzelnen Menüpunkte nachzuvollziehen.

Wer also auf mögliche Probleme keine Lust hat, der kann sich die Begriffe auf Deutsch und Englisch zum Beispiel auf dieser Seite ansehen. Update 9.11.2013: Es gibt definitiv ein Problem mit der automatischen Update-Funktion von Adobe.
