help me with photoshop actions

hi iv just put some photoshop actions in to my photoshop action folder by draging and droping them in to the actions folder. what i want to know is when i open up a image in photoshop and i want to ad the action to the image i dont no how to find the action within photoshop.

Chris,
Is it just that the actions "window" isn't visible?
If so go to Window> Actions or Alt +F9

If you've just dragged the action into the actions folder you will also need to load the action on to the actions pallete. To do this Click on the Actions tab, then click on the wee arrow on the top rhs of this, then scroll down to the Load Action option from the drop-down menu,( it should open your actions folder by default) then choose the action you want to load.
Voila

john iv got the action in the photoshop action folder and as you say i need to load the action now you say click on the action tab but where is it if i right click over the action its not there and if i look at the top of the page ie under file view edit ect its not there ?

Chris,
If you're looking for the action in explorer it should be under Program Files->Adobe PS->Presets->Photoshop Actions->whatever your action is called.
To load the action you need to either drag this file into the Action tab in PS or else load it by doing what I've said in my above post.

Hope this helps,
John
