Saving Actions

[Spirit]

I don't know if this is a stupid question or not, but how do you save actions in PS7. When I click that triangle thing at the top right of the palette I can see a "save actions" options, but for some reason I can't click it. And when I look in the PS folder I can't find the action that I just made either, or am I just looking in the wrong folder.

I thought it auto saved... Umm is the action highlighted when you goto save it?

i dunno i thought u could only recall the last 30 actions...the rest are deleted :huh:

In ps you have the abilty to record what you've done & play them back and it does it all for you, these are called "actions". They're extremly useful for wirting tuts...

Did you try looking in the help section of photoshop? 0_0

I've already tried looking in the help section but it was no help. I already know how to make and use actions, and the action that I made is still there when I use PS.

What I want to do is actually save a file of the action so that I will be able to bring it to a different computer or save it onto disk in case I have to format my computer. I done this before with an action I made at school and brought the file home, but I just can't remember how I did it.

Ryzee - Yes, the action was highlighted. I clicked on the action I wanted and went to the menu but the save actions option wasn't available.

EDIT: I just figured out how to do it, seems like you have to highlight the "set" that the action is in and save the whole "set". That's why I wasn't allowed to save it before because I only highlighted the single action. Thank you to everyone that tried to help me.
