1. Re: Copying Actions
Noel Carboni Nov 7, 2011 6:52 AM (in response to Heirloom Bob)If you did not save the actions explicitly as .atn files, then that complicates things.
Photoshop saves loaded actions in a proprietary format in a file called Actions panel.psp.
If you're running the same version of Photoshop on essentially the same system, it might be possible to just copy your old Actions panel.psp file to your new install's location, but I wouldn't guarantee it (never having tried it myself). The problem is, the contents of the .psp files are simply not open, so there may be other information in there that will prevent your current version of Photoshop from working properly.
This page describes where the .psp files are located and how they are named: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82893.html
Good luck.

2. Re: Copying Actions
Heirloom Bob Nov 7, 2011 8:57 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)Noel, I COULD deactivate Photoshop CS5 on my SSD and then boot to my OLD drive, reactivate Photoshop CS5 on that drive and then I can be back where I was. Now what would I do to save those actions properly, in order to have them available to use in my other copy of CS5?
