Creating Droplets for repeating jobs can save you a lot of time, for example if you were to open 100 images and reduce their dimensions by 50%, reduce their quality by 30% and save them in GIF format. Then it would be a very boring job to do, and definetely it would take some of your valuable which you could spend on other important things. Fortunatley these kind of jobs can be transferred to Photoshop, you just have to tell it what to do and how to do it and Photoshop will complete it in no time.

In order to create our own Droplet, we need to create our own Action, that is what we want Photoshop to do for us. And then we will turn this Action to a Droplet. So this tutorial will consist of these two parts:

1. Creating your own action
2. Turning this action to a Droplet

For this tutorial we will be creating a simple action that will reduce the image dimensions by 50% and save the image in GIF format. Once you have learned how to create actions in Photoshop you can later create more complicated actions of your own.
