Great tips! I’ve always avoided actions because I don’t have a lot of time to figure it out – now I can’t wait to give it a try. Thanks!

Nice. Concerning masks I have a tip. Ever have a layer style applied to an object and then you make a mask on that layer and the mask effects the edges of the style? To stop this from happening after adding your mask double-click the layer to bring up the Layer Style dialogue box. On the Blending Options screen put a check mark in the box for Layer Mask Hides Effects – this will prevent the style from being effected by the edges of the mask.

#12 is a HUGE tip….I’m so bad with the heavy hand…what a great (and simple!) idea to just do several layers…thanks! #13 is important too…amazing what you can miss unless you get in just a tiny bit closer:)

The flatten tip is a good idea if you’re using actions on photographs, but if you use actions in a scrapbooking environment (such as to apply a texture or effect to text) you will NOT want to flatten!

The best action advice I ever got is that if your action is not working, try flattening the image! If THAT doesn’t work, try selecting everything on the layer. Some action writers are good about providing clear instructions at the beginning of the action so you know going into it which to do!
