Installing Actions for Elements Users

Photoshop Elements instructions for installing actions designed for PSE’s Action Player:

• Download the ATN file and copy it.
• Paste it into the Actions folder, which can be found at the locations below.
• Please note the following before attempting to navigate to the Actions folder:
  • On PCs, Program DATA is not the same as Program FILES.  If you can’t find Program Data, you need to Show Hidden Files and Folders through the folder options feature in your control panel.

On Macs, make sure you start in the Library for All Users, not for one specific user.
