Photoshop 2025 did not bring over Automate —> Batch settings on new computer

[adtypeanddesign]

I just got a new MacBook Pro with the M4 chip and the Sequoia OS. Photoshop 2025 was already on my old Intel-based laptop with the Ventura OS and all software has been migrated to the new laptop.

However, the Photoshop custom settings I have spent hours setting up for Automate --> Batch did not migrate over. I have looked through the old computer under Actions and every other Photoshop folder under Applications trying to copy those settings over to the new computer. I also went to Edit --> Migrate in the old Mac, but get an error box saying there's nothing to migrate. I am attaching a screenshot of the custom settings under Production. Where can I find the files of these settings and what folder would I copy them to? They are not in the Actions folder on the old Mac. Or, how can I get these over to the new computer without having to rebuild them again?

Thank you. However, the folder the article describes does not exist in the new computer using the Mac Sequoia OS. It could be due to the Intel to M4 chip migration.

You need to save your action set to .atn file using the action panel in the old version. You then load the .atn set into the new installation using the action panel menu.

Batch simply runs the action, it doesn't contain the action.

Thank you. However, the folder the article describes called Users/Tim/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop 2025 Settings does not exist in the new computer using the Mac Sequoia OS. It could be due to the Intel to M4 chip migration.

Sorry about that, it's been several years since I posted anything.
