This chapter is all about letting Photoshop do the work for you. You'd be amazed at just how many little gems lie in the Automation menu in Photoshop and, for that matter, Bridge as well. The problem with some of these automations is that they're sometimes a little too hidden or too tricky to use. That's where this chapter comes in. We'll take a look at most of the automations in Photoshop and how to use them. Along the way, I'll show you some of the key settings, including which ones can make your life easier and which ones can slow you down.
