			ActionRunner 3.0 is the revolutionary editing tool that will give you your life back! ActionRunner is a simple drag and drop editing system that combines with your favorite actions to automate the entire editing process. Workflow Management ActionRunner does NOT compete against other action sets, but rather empowers you to use your existing actions to create a super fast workflow! Never again will you have to batch process one batch, then come back to process another batch, and another. Simply drag your image thumbnails from your browser onto the action you desire. You can drag one image at a time or 1000 – it makes no difference! ActionRunner opens the image, applies the action and saves the image for you. Use the built-in drag and drop AutoLoader feature and imagine what you could do while ActionRunner is working for you. Room To Grow ActionRunner comes pre-loaded with 15 FREE actions available exclusively with your purchase (Davis-Hicks V.3) but there's room to grow with "Add-Ons." Add-Ons are extra goodies that either enhance the performance of ActionRunner or work with the ActionRunner Workflow to help improve your efficiency and reach maximum creativity. Think of Add-Ons as the equivalent of apps for the iPhone. These could be specialty actions, automation features or simple improvements along the way. Some will be FREE, some will cost a little but all of them will help you reach your goals in life. Real-World Scenario How could you use ActionRunner most effectively? Let's say you shoot 5,000 images at a wedding. You first go through all 5000 images looking for your favorites based on hi-resolution thumbnails. Weed these down to your "artist choice" (usually around 25-40 images) for manual editing in Adobe Photoshop. The balance of the images you'll want to run through ActionRunner. Simply select the group of images and drag them onto the action icon you want applied. Repeat this step until all your images are in the queue, then click "Run". After ActionRunner has processed your images you can review them and if you want to apply any further actions, you can re-queue and re-run them accordingly. Once you're done, simply reorder your images based on the original time they were shot and renumber, then ftp to an online gallery or lab! ActionRunner also has a "move" and "copy" feature. Move allows you to "move" your files out of the viewing directory so you know what images have been queued and which have not. Let's say you want to run a few different actions on the same image. Simply choose "copy" and the image will remain visible in the directory allowing you to "copy" it over to as many actions as you desire. Save Time and Money How much money will you save by using ActionRunner? Do the numbers and you'll soon discover that the $189.00 you spend on ActionRunner will be recovered within the first couple of weddings you shoot. With each shoot and the more customizations you make, ActionRunner you'll not only save thousands of dollars that you would have spent on an employee but you'll also gain something even more valuable: time! What could be better than saving time and money? Save Lives! That's exactly what happens every time you purchase a copy of ActionRunner 3.0. With every sale, the developer donates enough money to Thirst Relief International to provide a lifetime supply of clean drinking water to at least three people who are dying of thirst. Photoshop Ready ActionRunner is version compatible and works in conjuction with Adobe Photoshop CS-CS4. This allows you to continue your ActionRunner workflow even if you upgrade to a newer version of Photoshop at any time.
