Having sucessfully installed CS3 I do have a question for the computer experts, how do I take the actions (including the actions installed in cs2 by Adobe) and move them to CS3. I have some valuable "stuff" there and it grows a bit tedious going back and forth from one version to the other. Thanks for any advice.

Assuming Windows, CS2 stores actions in files with an .atn extension in:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Photoshop Actions

CS3 stores them in
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Actions

You can use the Windows file system to copy from one and paste into the other. OR

You can use the popup menu on the CS3 Actions palette. Pick Load Actions... then navigate to your CS2 actions.

Hope this helps.
