Tutorials & PSE Actions @ ScrappinFreestyle

Hello Everyone!

Mega-Doodle Inspired popping in here to talk about Actions for Adobe Photoshop Elements....

A couple months ago I got a request for PSE actions. And I have to admit, I didn't even know where to start! I didn't even know how to install actions in PSE!! I searched the web high and low to find out and sadly, the tutorials out there were not clear enough for me.

SO...I installed both PSE 5 and 6 on my own computer and wrote my own tutorials! I include them with all my PSE actions.

And then during the Wednesday chat last week, one of our Challenge Hostess' mentioned that she just couldn't get any actions installed correctly in PSE. This got me to thinking. I should share my tutorials! = )

Here is a screen shot of several of my actions installed in PSE.

Downlaod Tutorials for Installing Actions in PSE 5 and PSE 6

Here are some of the PSE actions available here at ScrappinFreestyle:







Well, that's all I've got for today! I hope you'll all join us in the chat tomorrow night from 10:00 - 11:00 PM EST!!

Enjoy!
