Moving Photoshop actions to a new computer

I am trying to move my actions to a new computer. I have followed the instructions here Migrate presets, actions, and settings https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preset-migration.html

But when I go to Export/Import Presets none show up.

I am also not able to save my actions and I cannot find them through finder on my Mac

Any tips on what to do would be appreciated

Thanks

That is my preferred method Martin, at least one has a “hard copy” of the individual action sets!

Relying on PSP files and or migration assistants are often problematic for many users.

Hi, if you are not a tech person like me, you can save your actions and load them on the new system or any other computer as you wish from the small menu in the upper right corner in the action palette.

Regards,
Martin
