Photoshop Actions Errors Troubleshooting
If you're encountering errors with Photoshop Actions, several issues might be causing them. The most common are listed below:
• Not following the action guidelines
When you start an action, guidelines on how to use it are usually displayed. Make sure to carefully follow all these instructions.
• Using an older version of Photoshop
Older versions of Photoshop may lack certain tools or features used in these actions. To avoid issues, upgrade to the latest version. Some of my products include options for installing CS version alterations, so be sure to check the installation files.
• Photoshop is not set to English
Actions rely on layer names to function properly. If your Photoshop language is set to anything other than English, the actions may not work. Here’s how to resolve this:
- Open the Creative Cloud app.
- Click on your profile icon (top right).
- Go to Preferences > Apps > Installing.
- Set the default install language to "English (International)".
- Open Photoshop.
- Navigate to Menu > Photoshop > Settings > Interface > Presentations.
- Set the UI Language to English.
After this, all actions should work correctly. You can change back to your default language later if needed.
