I need to move actions from one computer to another

I have a ton of actions on my laptop I would like to move over to my MacMini. how do I go about in doing this?

Hi @jengreer! 😊

If you haven't already, save each Action Set as an .atn file using the panel menu. Remember, Sets contain Actions, and Actions contain Steps. The Set is like a Folder. Move your .atn files to your new computer and then use the Load Actions command.

For more info, you can check here.

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you, that worked! Maybe you can help with one more thing. I have a User Preset in Lightroom based off of PS action set I use. I cannot remember how I created it into a user preset to use in Lightroom, as it was so long ago. Do you know how? TY!!

I figured out how to make a droplet, but everytime I try to use it, and add it to LR it says it's damaged. Any ideas??

Hi @jengreer!

It might be best to create a separate thread in the Lightroom community for this issue. In the meantime, could you please check out Sameer's suggestion here and see if it helps?

Thanks a bunch!
