Do you have Photoshop CS6 (or older versions) and your actions palette is a mess of actions? There is an easy way to organize them so you can find the actions you want, and make it easier for saving and loading in new Photoshop versions when you upgrade. What is the secret? Sets. Below is […]
Apply Actions to Multiple Images at One Time
August 8, 2012 by 7 Comments
It happens all the time. You run an action, tweak the different layers in it, and then have to repeat the steps for other images in that series. While the actions do save you time, you hate that you have to repeat the same steps over and over. There must be an easier way! Well, […]
Merging Action Layers in PSE
March 2, 2012 by 5 Comments
Pin It A few days ago I shared how Photoshop CS# users can group adjustment and duplicate layers into grouped-layers for easier use and a more tidy layer’s palette. I mentioned that grouping layers is not something Photoshop Elements users can do, but that there was a work around that would do the job. Let […]

If you have taken any of my workshops or spent any time at my Facebook page, you know that I am a big fan of grouped actions because I am too lazy to adjust every layer of a creative action that has more than five layers. 😉 If I was making an action myself, I […]
How to Use Curves in Photoshop Elements {and a free action and video tutorial}
December 2, 2010 by 34 Comments
Pin It It is a well known fact that Photoshop Elements is the “baby brother” to Photoshop (Creative Suites, like CS5), and it has most of the same things Photoshop has, with some major tools/adjustments being omitted from Photoshop Elements. This helps keep the price of PSE down, but also helps keep it more user […]
