Quick Actions

Learn how to simplify your editing process and save time with Quick Actions in Photoshop Elements. 

30 of the popular one-click edits are now at your fingertips. Instantly blur or remove a background, smooth skin, dehaze or colorize a photo, and more using the new Quick Actions panel. The Quick Actions panel is located next to Effects in Quick mode. You can further fine-tune the result obtained by the Quick Actions by clicking the Fine tune button. 

In Photoshop Elements 2025, you'll have five new quick actions. We have added four new 'Add Motion' quick actions and a ‘Depth Blur’ quick action. The 'Add Motion' quick actions are based on the Moving Photos and Moving Overlays features of Photoshop Elements and help bring your still photographs to life by adding motion.  You can now add music to the Moving Overlays feature. The desired track can be chosen from the list of music presets supplied in the application.

To see these features in action, head to the Quick Actions panel in the Quick Workspace and select the Add Motion section.
