Frequently Asked Questions
Do these actions work non-destructively? Yes. These actions use adjustment layers, meaning your original photo is never permanently changed. You can reduce the opacity of each adjustment layer or delete it at any time.
What Photoshop version do I need? These actions are compatible with Photoshop CS6 through Photoshop 2025. They are not compatible with Photoshop Elements.
Can I use these actions on RAW files? Open your RAW file through Camera Raw first, then apply the actions on the resulting image in Photoshop.
Are these actions safe for professional client work? Yes. These are non-destructive actions that add adjustment layers — your original file is always preserved. Always work on a duplicate layer or copy of your file as best practice.
