How to record frame action and create a 3 step auto script ?

I have recorded a script and sucessfully change the resolution to 72 dpi, resize to high to 850 px, then change canvas size to 3:2 ratio

 

But I want to add framing action to the script and make it as :

1. Resize photo to 72 dpi, and high as 850

2. Add a frame (like/same as defaut frame action)

3. Resize Canvas to (w)1500 * (h) 1000

 

Any hints to add framing action, or some script already ready to use ?

 

Thanks

You can record action to perform above described 3 steps. Perhaps you are confused about playing default action? You can record step to play any action available in your actions panel. While recording just select action you want to play and hit Play button in the Actions panel.

There are two Image Size steps in my example with purpose. When changing Resolution you must turn off Resample. When changing Height to 850 Resample must be turned on. It can be done in one pass but I split that in two steps to highlight importance.

 

Here is a link to download and examine/test action https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HzhklpK9iI_HXrMTX5H9pfRK8SLUK14k/view?usp=share_link Note: you must have Default Actions set and "Wood Frame - 50 pixel" action inside, otherwise action will throw error message and won't add frame.
