Create a reliable export workflow the print partner can use without errors: record an action that converts to the print color profile, resizes to the lab's spec, applies appropriate sharpening, saves as flattened CMYK TIFF with embedded profile, test the action on three sample files, and provide the action file plus a short instruction sheet for the studio.

Every campaign we waste time on manual, error-prone exports. Diagnose the process decisions that keep us stuck, and recommend a practical shared-action and template convention plus the one governance step that makes the team actually use it instead of reverting to manual exports.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.

Real. Every job here was drawn from what people in real roles were actually seen doing in Photoshop — not a feature checklist.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
