PSE Actions Installed!!

I finally found how to install actions!! For anyone who has Photoshop Elements 6.0 on a Mac OS ... the following will help make sure you get them installed in the right place. And it will help me be able to remember what to do as well. So here we go.

First you have to go find some actions. This blog has some fabulous free ones! http://coffeeteaphotography.blogspot.com

Download the action you want.

When you install actions in PSE6 you need a png file to go with the action to run it .. so open up the psd file that came with the action and resave it as a png file.

Close Elements

Then place the action and png file in

this folder:

Library\Application Support\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Photo Creations\Photo Effects

Next rename the Mediadatabase.db3 to MediadatabaseOLD.db3 (it is located at Library\Application Support\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Locale\ en-US) and restart Elements ... the Mediadatabase.db3 will rebuild but you may have to wait a while for it to do so.

You action will then appear under Show All ...
