Photoshop Elements
Posted on 07. Dec, 2008 by Oneter.
Actions can be used in Photoshop Elements if the action consists of steps supported in Elements, but they cannot not be written within the program. The procedure for incorporating them varies between versions 2 and 3. An article by Barbara Brundage, author of Photoshop Elements 3: The Missing Manual, published by O’Reilly. explains how to go about this.
I am happy to post actions converted for Photoshop Elements on this site, but do not have time to translate and test them. I welcome the efforts of anyone who wishes to do so.

When an PS action doesn’t work
Posted on 07. Dec, 2008 by Oneter.
Another frequent question is what to do when action doesn’t work. Here are a few things to check.
First, make certain you haven’t changed the name of the Background layer which should be the bottom layer on the stack. Some actions requires this naming convention, and if you’ve changed the name to, for instance, Layer 0, the action fails.
Second, make certain that you were on the background layer when you initiated the action. If you had a curves layer selected, the action will try to affect that, and it won’t work as expected.
Third, see if your image is in 16-bit mode. If so, the action make by making calls to filters that are unavailable in this mode. Take these steps:
-Image|Duplicate (This duplicates your image)
-Image|Mode|8-bit … (This changes your new duplicate image to 8-bit)
Now try to run the action again.

how to load an PS Action
Posted on 07. Dec, 2008 by Oneter.
The most frequently asked question I receive is: “Now that I have this action, what do I do with it?” All actions on this come in zip folders, and you need a program that unzips it, such as WinZip or StuffIt Expander to extract the ATN file.
Once unzipped, we recommend placing all your actions in a common folder. This folder can be placed anywhere on your system. It does not have to be in your Photoshop subdirectory. In Windows, for instance, you could create a special folder under My Documents called “Actions.”
Once you have established that folder, open Photoshop, open the actions palette, click the small triangle in the upper right hand corner to access the fly-out menu, and choose LOAD ACTIONS. Using the file dialogue, navigate to wherever you have placed our actions, in our case, “\my documents\actions”. Click the “Load” button in the dialogue and your actions are in the actions palette.
There is a simpler way that is not as organized, but that I use all the time. After unzipping your action, simply drag and drop it onto the actions palette in Photoshop. (The palette must be open for this to work.)
