How Do I Reset Photoshop Actions?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:12 am

If you’re like me, you probably have a love-hate relationship with Photoshop Actions. On one hand, they can save you a ton of time by automating complex processes.

On the other hand, they can be a huge pain to reset when something goes wrong. In this article, I’ll show you a few different ways to reset Photoshop Actions so that you can get back to work quickly and efficiently.

1. Use the Reset Actions Command

One way to reset Photoshop Actions is to use the Reset Actions command. This command can be found in the Edit menu ( under the “Actions” sub-menu).

Simply select the actions that you want to reset and then click on the “Reset Actions” command. This will reset all of the selected actions to their default settings.

2. Delete the Action

If you want to completely remove an action from your Photoshop file, you can do so by deleting it. To delete an action, simply select it in the “Actions” panel and then click on the trashcan icon at the bottom of the panel. This will delete the action and all of its associated settings.

3. Use the Action Options Menu

The Action Options menu is a great way to reset individual actions without affecting other actions in your set. To access this menu, simply select an action in the “Actions” panel and then click on the small gear icon at the top of the panel. From here, you can choose to reset just the selected action or all actions in the set.

4. Restore Default Settings

If you want to completely reset all of your Photoshop Actions, you can do so by restoring your default settings. This can be done by going into the Edit menu ( under Preferences) and selecting “Reset All Preferences”. This will reset all of your Photoshop preferences, including your actions, so use this option with caution!

No matter which method you choose, resetting Photoshop Actions is a quick and easy process. So next time something goes wrong with your actions, don’t panic! Just follow these simple steps and you’ll be back up and running in no time.
