: How to export/import a Photoshop action from one Windows computer to another? I switched computers and I need a Photoshop action I used on the previous computer. None of the instructions I found

I switched computers and I need a Photoshop action I used on the previous computer. None of the instructions I found online helped so far. :(

I call the action on the old computer (Windows 7, Photoshop CS5.1) from this screen (File > Scripts > Image Processor). It's named "Logo pe poze".



I exported and imported the C:/Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5.1/Presets folder but the script doesn't show up on the new environment (Windows 8, Photoshop CC 14.2).

I also tried searching for files with the action's name and nothing came up in Windows 7. Also nothing when I search for *.atn (the common extension for actions).

Can someone tell me please what else I can try to copy this action over? I also need to know for future reference.

First, move the actions into a folder.


Then
1.) select the folder with actions you want to export.

2.) Click on the menu in the top Right corner and save actions to a folder (or USB key.. anywhere you like)



3.) Finally. Go to the computer you want to load actions, click action pallete menu and load actions >> Select the atn file we created in above steps.

4). You are done.. :) enjoy..

Found instructions for exporting just the actions you need.


View your actions by going to Window > Actions.
If your actions aren't contained in a set, create one by clicking the folder icon at the bottom of the action widget.
Drag the actions you need into the new set.
Make sure you have the action set selected.
From the menu in the Actions widget () choose Save Actions.


This will create a *.atn file. On the other computer follow these steps to import the actions:


View actions by going to Window > Actions.
From the menu in the Actions widget () choose Load Actions.
