No actions or Presets

Hi
I'm new to photoshop and I have just watched an unofficial tutorial on how to add sparkles to a picture using the actions tool. The tutorial shows how you have to load the 'Sparkle' action into photoshop from your adobe files, but I have no files or presents what so ever to load?? Should these be included or are these actions something you have to download and pay for separately? The video I watched does not make it clear. Thanks

There are litterally thousands of Photoshop tutorials online.  I don't know which one you looked at so I'm going to say, forget about actions for now.  Learn to make a custom brush preset like the one pictured below (see screenshot.)

 

 

See this tutorial for details.

Post back if you have any questions.
