How to see filename of loaded Photoshop action?

Is there a way to view the filename of loaded actions?
I am trying to find the .atn file on my computer of a Photoshop action that I loaded ages ago and frequently use.  The action was a free download and creates a new document displaying a before and after view of the image I am working on.  I have hundreds of .atn files on my machine and have been unable to identify the one I am using by just scrolling through all the available .atn files in my presets folders.  I also did a search on the computer itself in case the .atn file was loaded from some other folder, but for the life of me I can't find it.
It would be convenient if there were some way to display the properties of a loaded action that would include the path to the action file.

Actions are usually stored in one of 2 places. First is within the PS program directory under Presets\Actions (installed drive letter:\Adobe\Photoshop CS5\Presets\Actions) or under you user name and basically the same path but on Win 7 it is a little different (C:\User\username\(Local or Roaming)\AppData\Adobe\Photoshop CS5\Presets\Actions)(I think that is the path. I'm on  XP box right now). So look in both those locations.
With Win 7 it REALLY likes to hide stuff from users, even users that have FULL Admin rights. If you haven't made changes to the folder view settings, like Show hidden and system file and unchecked "Hide Protected operating system files" it just may be that Win 7 is protecting those .atn file from view.
More then likely you saved that action set to the default Save location which is in the user profile. So I would start my search there.
In any event you can start to load action sets until you fined the one that has those that are listed in your screen shot. PS might even be smart enough to come up with a warning when you try to load the same action twice. But I wouldn't count on it. I just tried loading the same action twice and PS CS4 had no problem making a duplicate action set in the actions pallet.

  • How do I install and use Photoshop actions

    I downloaded a zipped file with actions.  I've left the file zipped until I learn how to install the actions in Photoshop CC.  Any help will be appreciated.

    The Advanced menu item was removed by Adobe in Acrobat X. Don't know what a plug-in would do. It probably needs an update.
    It's very optimistic to think a plug-in written for one version of Acrobat will run without issues in a future version. The issues aren't usually big, but there's more often something than not.

  • How to see the init load in bi 7.0

    hello frnds,
    In bi 7.0 when v load data it show the full load and delta load option only,,so my question is, if delta load r there then definately init load also avilable,so where is that init load,,plz guys tell me where is that option,,
    2nd question is about compression in bi 3.5,,after loading data into infocube when i do compression it ll not work,,why i dont know ,,plz help me
    Thanks
    Rosy

    Hi Rosy,
    Init with data load is  Full upload + Delta Enables. Once you run this it will fetch entire records from the Source, delta will be automatically enabled and next time onwards only delta will be coming to BW.
    Before you can request a delta update, you must first initialize the delta process.Delta initialization can only be simulated for DataSources from SAP source systems if the DataSource supports this.

  • How to show overexposed areas in Photoshop?

    This funcion is in Lightroom, but not in Photoshop. Is there a way how to see overexposed areas in Photoshop?

    Do you mean in post #25, the one immediately before yours?   I think we need JJ to come along and clarify that.  The comma robber has run off with his punctuation, and I'm buggered if I can work it out either.
    But rule of thumb is that once a pixel, or pixels, are at value 255, that's full white, amd all three channels are fully exposed.  But I think what JJ is saying, is that there might be more information in the RAW file.  Even if one or two channels are at 255, there might be some detail in the other.  JJ will have to clarify, but I think he is talking about having two versions of the RAW conversion and stack them as layers in a single Photoshop document.  You can then mask in just the area you want.
    JJ's post, is dated July 2012, and CS6 with Camera RAW PV 2012 (Process Version 2012) was released in May 2012, and I'd have thought you could get all the infor there was there to get, out of a single go with PV2012.  It's local adjustments being key, but the entire update of ACR was a big improvment over the previous version, and especially in extreme highlight and shadow detail recovery.
    Does that help?

  • How to launch photoshop action?

    I'm writing a Bridge CS3 script to generate a web gallery. The user selects some files and starts the script through a context menu item. The script iterates through the selection list a couple of times, writes files, etc.
    As the final step, I need to start Photoshop CS3 and run an action on the set of selected files--as if I had picked Tools/Photoshop/Batch... from the Bridge menus but with the action specified so the user does not have to go through the action dialog in Photoshop. After starting the action, the Bridge script is complete and can quit while Photoshop does its batch processing.
    The Photoshop action contains mostly "fit image..." and sharpening steps. It also contains some simple scripts, mostly simple "save as" types of operations.
    I'm uncertain how to do this. Is this where BridgeTalk must be used? Can anyone direct me to a sample script that does something simple like this?
    Is there any problem with having scripts within the action? Some messages I've seen suggest there is, but I'm not certain I'm interpreting them correctly, or whether they apply to CS3.
    Thanks.

    Yes. You would have some Bridge JS call some PS JS which would, in turn, call
    your Batch/Action.
    > Can anyone direct me to a sample script that does something simple like this?
    You might want to take a look at the Bridge SDK, if you haven't already. There
    are several examples using BridgeTalk. And also look at the code in Common
    Files/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS3 to see how Adobe implemented the Bridge
    Tools->Photoshop functionality. It's a bit difficult to follow in places but
    what you really want to look at is the photoshop10.runActionCommand function in
    photoshop-10.jsx. It's one way of calling PS actions from Bridge and it's also
    what I use in my code.

    CS3 has apparently addressed this issue but I can't say from personal experience
    that it works. However, this was not possible at all in CS2 unless you went to
    really extreme measures.

    I've had the same problem, and sorted it using this:
    Run the Boot Camp Assistant in OS X as normal and create a partition when asked, then insert your Windows 7 disc to reboot and begin the process proper.
    Windows 7 requires the NTFS file system, so once in the installer just select your new partition (labelled BOOTCAMP), click on Drive options (Advanced) and choose to format it. Then select the newly formatted partition and continue.
    Windows 7 will begin installing, and once it gets almost to the bottom of its checklist, it’ll try to reboot. Now, if you leave it here, you’ll get so far and see the black screen. Any further attempts to reboot will bring you to the same dead end.
    Instead, restart and press a key to boot from the Windows 7 disc when prompted.
    Rather than running the installation again, choose the little option at the bottom to Repair your computer. Decline any suggestions that pop up until you see a list of options with Command Prompt at the bottom. Choose that option.
    At the Command Prompt, type DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ATIKMDAG.SYS to delete the default ATI driver, then close the window and reboot.
    This time, Windows should successfully initialise a more appropriate display driver, allowing you into the desktop. From here insert your OS X disc to install the relevant hardware drivers as you normally would, then run Windows update to clear up any leftovers.

  • How to Attach Script to Photoshop Action or Folder?

    I'm not familiar with Applescript at all! However, I downloaded a script for use with Photoshop which crops an image to a specific format. It works great if I've got an image open in Photoshop.
    What I can't figure out how to do is to either apply that script to an entire folder to process all images in that folder, or better yet, record a Photoshop Action that uses that script.
    How can I use that script to do a batch process from either Photoshop or the Finder?
    Thanks for any help for this total newbie.

    The Mac I am currently using does not have 'Adobe Photoshop CS3' installed. However, based on [1], the code samples should work. Some editing may be needed, based on your specific requirements.

    How can I include a success message in a drag and drop interaction - I don't see this option in the Actions on success options, and cannot figure it out?

    I suspected you used the eye icon on the timeline to hide the message, but that one has no impact whatsoever on the published version. It is only meant to be used for editing reasons on the stage, to hide objects temporarily on a crowded stage. It is confusing, certainly in CP8 where for both instances the same eye icon is used. In previous versions the Properties panel had a checkbox for 'Show in Output', which was IMO much clearer than this eye icon. But of course, that is only my personal opinion.

    Are you sure that:
    1. You have the correct disc for your operating system? You have both mac and windows versions on the discs. If you have a mac you want disc 3, not disc 1.
    2. PSE is not already installed?

  • I am getting a photoshop error could not load photoshop because the preferences file was invalid and cln't load actions because of an unexpected end of file encountered.

    I am getting a photoshop error could not load photoshop because the preferences file was invalid and cln't load actions because of an unexpected end of file encountered.

    Are you trying to open Photoshop directly, or open it by double clicking on a Photoshop document, like a PSD file?  If the former, then you might need to reinstall.  Resetting Preferences would be the firs step, but I am not sure if that will work if Photoshop is not opening in the first place.
    Try doing so anyway.  Hold down Shift Alt Ctrl (Shift Opt Cmd) while opening Photoshop. OK the message to delete Preferences.
    If you get the unexpected end of file error while trying to open Photoshop via a PSD document, then there is more than a good chance that that file is toast.
    If still stuck, we need to know Operating System, and Photoshop version.
