Save and back up your Photoshop Actions
[by Jay Kinghorn]
Don’t forget to save and back up your Photoshop Actions. Should Photoshop crash, you will lose any unsaved Actions. More likely, unsaved actions can be lost when you reinstall Photoshop or switch computers.
To save your Actions, first group them into Action Sets then single-click on the Action Set within the Actions panel and select Save Actions from the flyout menu in the upper right corner of the Panel.
I recommend saving your actions immediately after creating or modifying your Actions and integrating them into your regular file backup routine. Losing the Actions you rely upon daily to process images can be a significant blow to your productivity.
