I'm going to need to reinstall PS and some system software so... my question is:
is there a method to retain prefs and things like brushes and actions????

Thanks

Jeff
 
If you added new brushes that didn't come standard with the install, they should still be in the brushes folder you put them in. Same with scripts and actions.
 
for actions, you need to go into the actions window and save your actions to a different folder, preferably not on your c: drive

same for any brushes you downloaded/obtained yourself- save those into a different folder.

then, re-install PS, go to your actions window again, and just re-load them in.

For brushes, copy them from your backup folder, and then paste them into the brushes folder in PS on the c: drive (afetr you have re-installed PS, of course)
