How-To: Use Photoshop Actions to Speed Up Work using TradingView

When it comes to graphic design and multimedia, speed and consistency are key. Whether you’re editing multiple charts, screenshots, or templates — Photoshop Actions can help you automate repetitive tasks in seconds.

In this tutorial from AI Computer Classes – Indore, we’ll show you how to use Photoshop Actions to speed up your workflow, especially when working with tools like TradingView or other design-related platforms.

🧩 What Are Photoshop Actions?

Photoshop Actions are a powerful automation feature that lets you record a series of edits or steps and replay them with a single click.

For example:

• Resize and watermark 50 TradingView screenshots automatically.
• Apply consistent color correction across your social media images.
• Create chart thumbnails or templates instantly.

This saves hours of manual effort and ensures uniform design quality.

⚙️ Step 1: Set Up Your Workspace

Before you begin:

1. Open Adobe Photoshop.
2. Go to Window → Actions to make the Actions panel visible.
3. Create a new folder in the Actions panel for your project, e.g., TradingView Automation.

🧠 Pro Tip: Organize your actions by project type — charts, thumbnails, infographics, etc.

🪄 Step 2: Record a New Action

1. Click the “+” icon in the Actions panel → Name your action (e.g., Chart Resize + Watermark).
2. Hit Record — Photoshop will now track every move.
3. Perform your desired edits:

• Crop or resize images to your preferred size.
• Adjust brightness, contrast, or add overlays.
• Insert your watermark or logo.

1. Once done, click the Stop button at the bottom of the panel.

Now your entire sequence is saved and ready to replay anytime!

📈 Step 3: Apply Actions to TradingView Screenshots

Let’s say you regularly take TradingView screenshots for tutorials, trading reports, or educational posts.

You can now:

1. Load all screenshots into Photoshop (File → Scripts → Load Files into Stack).
2. Choose File → Automate → Batch.
3. Select your saved Action (Chart Resize + Watermark).
4. Apply it to all images in one go.

🎯 Result: Dozens of TradingView chart images processed within minutes — perfectly formatted for your blog or presentation!

💬 AIComputerClasses Tip:

Combine Photoshop automation with Excel or Power BI to organize your content schedule or track engagement metrics for your chart visuals.

🧠 Step 4: Customize and Combine Actions

You can build nested or multi-step actions that combine multiple effects such as:

• Adding brand colors or frames.
• Auto-exporting files to JPG or PNG.
• Renaming files in a series.

💡 Use ChatGPT to create quick reminders or step summaries:

“Write me a checklist for automating Photoshop chart screenshots for TradingView.”

This helps maintain consistent workflow documentation.

🔁 Step 5: Use Conditional Actions for Smarter Automation

Photoshop’s Conditional Actions allow you to apply different steps based on file conditions.

Example:

• If the image width is greater than 1920px → resize to 1080p.
• If file contains a “logo” layer → skip watermarking.

This saves even more time for professional designers managing mixed projects.

⚡ Step 6: Export and Test the Results

Once automation is complete:

• Review your output folder for consistency.
• Compare the processed TradingView charts.
• Check for alignment and branding accuracy.

🎥 Optional: Record the entire process using OBS Studio or ScreenPal, and upload it to your design portfolio or blog.

💬 Bonus Integration Ideas🔹 With Power BI or Excel

Use Excel to log your image automation results — number of files processed, total time saved, and templates used.

🔹 With Figma

You can import your Photoshop exports into Figma to create marketing layouts or dashboards.

🔹 With ChatGPT

Ask ChatGPT for batch automation ideas or troubleshooting tips when actions don’t behave as expected.

🧩 Step 7: Practice and Experiment

Try creating actions for:

• Social media post resizing.
• Adding trading indicators visually to screenshots.
• Overlaying data from Excel exports onto TradingView charts.

The more you experiment, the more powerful your Photoshop setup becomes.
