Lets see...I down load the action

then

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

then

hard drive>library>application support>Photoshop Elements>Locale and delete mediadatabase.db3 ---- Deleting the old mediadatabase and creating a new one.

They are stored in the filter menu...want to get smart with me some more?...
I run a MAC! so if any of that is confusing ya...again I have photoshop elements 6 on my mac...my CS3 program is on my PC which is crashed because thats what PC do. So if I had it then I could do the play button.

Elements was never designed to do this. I have heard of people hacking something together, but you need to get your CS3 machine working if you want to be able to do this.

 

[sdesha]

ok...I am just going to buy it for MAC....That will be my xmas gift to myself...haha

thank you.

You can use actions in PSE that were created in PS, but you can't create your own in PSE.

If you have CS3 for your PC, Call Adobe, they have a migration program that may alow you to change for free.
