I put in a new action, but the Action folder is empty when I go to 'Load ations' in my Photoshop 2022!
WHY?

Correct answer jane-e

Hi, by default, it points to the user profile's action folder, not the photoshop one wich is made for the default ones.

On your mac, it is Users/[user name]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Presets/[feature name]

(I originally pointed to Applications/Adobe Photoshop [version]/Presets/Actions. but it is relevant for the default ones (thank you @jane-e ))

@superkari

You can put the .atn file anywhere on your hard drive, then choose Load from the Actions panel menu. Try putting it on your Desktop or Documents folder or anywhere. Tell us if that works for you.

That's close, but this is what I'm seeing:

Hi, it could have been on the presets folder, but I tried to tell you that you were looking at the wrong presets folder: there is one for the built-in presets, and another one for the user created.

If you want to migrate your presets easily, I would recommend to use those, otherwise, you might have to re-search every time you upgrade Photoshop.

Sorry for the mumbo-jumbo. 😉
