To load a set of actions:
Do one of the following:
•
Choose Load Actions from the Actions palette menu. Locate and select the action set
file, the click Load. (In Windows, Photoshop action set files have the extension .atn.)
•
Select an action set from the bottom of the Actions palette menu.
To restore actions to the default set:
1
Choose Reset Actions from the Actions palette menu.
2
Click OK to replace the current actions in the Actions palette with the default set, or
click Append to add the set of default actions to the current actions in the Actions palette.
Saving actions (ImageReady)
All actions you create are saved in the ImageReady Actions folder in the Adobe
ImageReady 7.0 Settings folder. ImageReady can only access actions that reside in this
folder. You add actions to ImageReady by dragging actions into the ImageReady Actions
folder on your computer. Because ImageReady does not include a Load Actions command,
you must add files to the ImageReady Actions folder manually.
Note:
The default location of the Adobe ImageReady 7.0 Settings folder varies by
operating system. Use your operating system’s Find command to locate this folder.
You can remove actions from ImageReady by dragging the actions out of the ImageReady
Actions folder or by using the Delete Action command in the Actions palette menu.
Actions you remove by dragging can be saved in another folder. Actions you remove by
deleting are removed permanently.
If you add or remove files from the ImageReady Actions palette, you can direct
ImageReady to scan the Actions folder for changes and update the Actions palette.
(ImageReady scans the Actions folder and updates the Actions palette whenever you
launch the application.)
To update the Actions folder:
1
Drag an action file into or out of the ImageReady Actions folder.
2
Choose Rescan Actions Folder from the Actions palette menu.
Organizing sets of actions (Photoshop)
To help you organize your actions, you can create sets of actions and save the sets to disk.
You can organize sets of actions for different types of work—such as print publishing and
online publishing—and transfer sets to other computers.
Although ImageReady doesn’t allow you to create sets, you can manually organize
actions in the ImageReady Actions folder. For example, if the Actions palette contains
too many actions, create a new folder inside the ImageReady Actions folder and move
less-used actions from the ImageReady Actions folder to this new folder. The relocated
actions are removed from the palette until you return them to the ImageReady Actions
folder.
To create a new set of actions:
1
In the Actions palette, click the New Set button
, or choose New Set from the
palette menu.
