Photoshop’s Most Ignored panel is what will make you want to use Photoshop

I call it the lost Photoshop Panel. Because no one talks about what it can do and it took me 15 years to master it.

I’m talking about mastering the Actions panels. Users of actions like my new Alchemist 3 have been asking for some advanced tips. And I realized how little people know about this lost panel that’s’ more powerful than any plugin on the market.

You can do this to any action or make your own and of course you can check out all my Master Grade Actions on my homepage.

I make lots of great presets like Filmist. But when I do actions people always ask me, can this run in Lightroom. The answer is always no. I make tools that make the native tools of these apps work faster and better.

A raw editor like LR or C1 can’t even come close to and old Photoshop CS6. The way they do layers is world apart and if you only use a RAW editor you’re only half editing your photos.

No not either apps either like Luminar or anything else. The ones that do have basic actions or scripts implement it really badly. That’s why I cant even make this stuff in other layer apps.

Watch the video and I’ll add more notes to this post later for some extra tips.

Glad you're here.

I'm from WA State USA and started studying photography in 97. I started work as a pro (using that word loosely because I sucked) using film at age 16. I learned fast but was not as easy to find training then. Sometimes I beat my head against the wall until I figured stuff out.

As digital dawned I went all in and got to study with masters like Ken Whitmire. In 09 I founded the Pro Photo Show podcast. I started promoting tone-focused editing. When Lightroom arrived, I started developing tools to make editing and workflow better.

20 years of study and photography around the country earned me a Master of Photography (M.Photog) from PPA. I got to see my workshops and tools featured in publications across the industry. Once I even won the prestigious HotOne award for my "EXposed" light and tone workshop.

Wanting something calmer, I moved to Mexico in 2017. It's a land of magical light. I'm here now exploring light and trying to master my weak areas. I make videos of that for my Youtube channel, sharing what I learn. I hope you'll stick around and be part of Light Hunters Tribe... Gavin
