Saving an Action

This tutorial covers the few brief steps necessary to save a Photoshop action to a file.

1.  Select the set of actions that you wish to save by clicking on it.  A set of actions has a file folder icon next to it.  You can only save a set of actions, not an individual action.  Of course, a set could only have a single action in it.

2.  Click the three bars in the upper right hand corner of the palette.  In CS2, this is a triangle in a circle.


3.  This brings up the action menu.  Select Save Actions.



4.  This will bring up a file browser where you can move to a folder where you want to save the action.  I save mine in My Documents > Adobe > Actions.

  2. Ah and here it is...the important but small detail which I keep missing LOL

    "Select the set of actions that you wish to save by clicking on it. A set of actions has a file folder icon next to it. You can only save a set of actions, not an individual action. Of course, a set could only have a single action in it."

    That is actually how I did ebd up doing it anyway - but I just felt sure that I should be able to save a single action. NOw I know though I'll stop looking for the impossible! Cheers again for your help.
