How to find actions on computer


Recommended Posts

How do I find where all my actions are stored on my computer?  I have them all in Photoshop cs6 as shown, but If I want to back them up or transfer to new computer, how do I locate them?

How many of them did you download or buy, and how many did you make yourself?

The ones you downloaded will be wherever your computer puts downloads.  Your Downloads folder, presumably.

For ones you made yourself, they are not saved anywhere on your computer until you actively save them.  This catches heaps of people out.  They make actions but don't save them to the hard drive, so they only exist in Photoshop.  Then Photoshop crashes, and they lose them!

You will need to go to your C:\Users Folder and un-hide the Applications Data (AppData) folder. The location is:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop <version>\Presets\Actions.

Look for the .atn files.
