However, what they fail to realize is that they spend way too much time, checking on their LCD, dealing with their batteries, which gets drained oh-so fast, downloading or transferring files and of course, manipulating images.

In end, it all boils down to personal preference. And just like in anything, people shouldn’t allow commercialism and marketing make them judgmental or discriminating – especially newbies. As I always say, you need to pick right tools for kind of project you’re working on, depending on your vision of that project. If you have time as well as resources, it is recommended that you try both on various projects so that you can make a sound judgment of what works best for you. Therefore, people shouldn’t be thinking Digital vs. Film. Instead, it should be Digital and Film.

An action can be edited. You can reorder commands, delete commands, reset a command setting, add a command in mid-stream, insert a stop, record again and troubleshoot it. To reorder command, in Action palette, grab command with cursor and drag it up or down. In deleting commands, just select a command and press Delete key. Double click on Command in Action if you want to reset it. To add a command in mid-stream or anywhere in action, select command and click action button. Inserting a stop will allow you to apply settings to a step. To Record Again, simply select Record Again on Actions Palette. Photoshop will allow you to reset settings. Photoshop has a sort of diagnostic tool that will help you see what was causing trouble in your Action.

You can play Action in three ways. You can play it from palette, just set your file up and click on Play button. You can also use function keys. The dialog box will allow you to assign a function key so that you will be able to play Action by simply pressing key. You can use button mode that is selected from Actions side menu.

Techniques like this can save your time and effort.
