Action Photoshop

Photoshop Play Action

Plays a recorded Photoshop Action from the Actions panel, optionally loading a .atn file from disk first. The .atn file is read by Photoshop's process; the path is not checked against the filesystem access policy. If the timeout elapses while Photoshop is still executing, the Action keeps running and later commands queue behind it.
