Last year, Deke released episode 723, “Creating a faux hedcut in Photoshop,” in which he showed how to automate the creation of a hedcut effect like The Wall Street Journal. Later, Deke recorded an action to capture the entire process for his course “Photoshop CC 2019: New Features.” Now Deke asks you to play this action, from beginning to end, on a different file. The whole video takes just one minute.
