All images are different and in most cases the default settings for an action will need to be tweaked to achieve the perfect look for your photo. There are two main ways to modify or customize a Photoshop action once it has been applied. The most common method for adjusting the effect of a Photoshop action is to adjust the opacity of the entire layer group. Once the layer group is selected, you can adjust the opacity by adjusting the intensity of the effect up or down.
The more detailed method for adjusting the effect of an action is to adjust the individual layers within the layer group. This requires a deeper understanding of the different components within the layer group, but the method for adjusting the opacity remains the same. Simply select the individual layer from within the group and adjust the opacity as needed. Note: Actions will always work better on RAW images, simply because there is more information and data to manipulate.
