The Actions palette in Photoshop, shown in Figure 5.19, is where you'll record
and access your Actions. For this example, I'm creating an Action that will do the
following:
pen the RAW image using the current Camera Raw settings.
Save the image as a 16bit TIFF file in the destination folder.
Convert the image to the sRGB color space.
Resize the image to fit within a 800

600 size.
Convert the image to 8 bits.
Save the image as a JPEG file with a quality level of 10.
To get started, I suggest creating a new Action Set for your RAW conversion

help you organize and find them when they are needed, and it helps you hide them
when you don't need them.

The dialog shown in Figure 5.20 is displayed. Give your new Action a descriptive

This lets you start the Action from the keyboard rather than selecting it from the palette and clicking the
Run button.

the Action for future playback until you click the Stop button. For this example, I'm
saving the image twice. The first save is a 16-bit TIFF file, while the next save converts
