How to Load or Import Actions in Photoshop

One of the biggest advantages of Photoshop is its versatility. You can import and export lots almost everything.

You can import actions, presets, configurations, and lots of more things.

I am going to demo this with the actions that I give away on my site like Instagram filter actions.
