How to Export Actions to Another Computer?

[Ben C]

Hi, can someone tell where are all the .atn files stored? I would like to copy them to another computer so I don't have to re-create them. Thanks. Ben

Here is the default location for version 7:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\Photoshop Actions

Hi, in the Photoshop Actions folder there are only 6 .atn files. None of those were my custom actions. I can see my actions in the Action palette, therfore my .atn files must stored somewhere else. Ben

I don't use actions too much, I believe you have to save them before they will appear in that directory...

You are absolutely right! By highlighting each set of action folder and do a save action then they showed up in the Photoshop Action folder. Much thanks. Ben

Welcome!

Yes, it is VERY important to save the actions, as if the computer crashes, or if you delete your preferences, the unsaved ones might be lost! (and do a Backup!)
