Description
In this video, I want to show you a practical example of how I use my upcoming Photoshop plugin, ezActions.
I'll walk you through building a node-based workflow to automatically watermark an entire folder of images in a few minutes. Instead of using traditional, rigid Photoshop actions, we'll connect a few visual nodes to open the images, place a logo, scale it down to exactly 200px, and align it at the bottom center with a 5% margin.
I'll also show you how the workflow runs, how to easily tweak things if you change your mind (like lowering the opacity), and how you can export the workflow to share it with others. My goal with this project is to make repetitive batch processing in Photoshop a bit more logical and a lot less frustrating.
What is ezActions?
ezActions is a visual, node-based automation plugin for Photoshop. It allows you to build smart, complex workflows with zero coding. Just drag, drop, and connect your nodes to let the plugin do the heavy lifting!
It’s not meant to replace every Photoshop feature with a single node. Instead, it acts as a bridge between simple Photoshop Actions and complex programmed scripts. It makes your automations smart, giving you programming power through easy-to-understand visual blocks that you can customize to fit your exact workflow.

💬 I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on this node-based approach. Are there any specific, repetitive tasks in Photoshop that usually cost you a lot of time? Let me know in the comments!
