Image Processor / Script files - Windows location?

Hi all

 

I've perused the web and this forum but cannot see the answer i need, I'm sure this is very simple and probably a little emabrassing for me to ask!

 

A long time ago I created a bespoke Watermark script which I then run through Image Processor to apply to all our pictures, we have just had a new computer and installed Photoshop and I do not want to have to remake the script, where can I find the script / image processor file that I created in the file system so I can copy into the system files of the new computer?

 

Many thanks in advance

@Adam25128349iwrt – It sounds like you are confusing terms.

 

Image Processor is a script (JavasScript).

 

Image Processor can't directly run a script, it can run an action. An action is not the same thing as a script. An action can record the playback of a script though.

 

You, therefore, need to find that action on the old computer.

    As @c.pfaffenbichler stated, it will bein the presets/scripts folder,  but on your old computer, in the version of PS that you were using.

    Yea, you need to look on the computer that you last had access to them, in the Photoshop version that you were last using.

      In the program folder look under Presets/Scripts.

      The pic of that folder is above, these just look like the Photoshop presets, not the one I have created which is called Watermark inside Photoshop?
