Help! I need to save an action recording...

[heyitsjessie11]

Hi all,

I just spent the last better part of an hour detailing a photograph in Photoshop after I hit the "record" button in the actions panel. I was hoping to be able to save my recorded action after I hit "stop recording" however, after doing a search on the web I found that I was suppose to click "add new action," name it, and then save it before I even started. Is there anyway I can still save my hour of detailed work as an action even though I've already recorded it?

Thank you

If you were able to hit the record button and it turned red, then it recorded to some other existing action. Which action was selected when you hit record? You should be able to duplicate it, then delete the previous steps of the original action.

Thanks! I think I accidentally recorded it under the "molten lead" action, lol! Now, I just need to figure out which actions are mine and which are not.
