I have Photoshop Elements 5 and I love it to bits. I does everything I need BUT....I can't write actions and I really can't stretch the budget to buy Photoshop

Would it be possible to have a section where people could request an action to be written, someone write it and then sell the action to them?

Just a thought.

You can record a series of mouse clicks etc in photoshop so you can do a task that would normally take a few clicks in just one if you see what I mean.

There are a few things like USM and lighting levels that I do to every photo and it's very time consuming to keep going through the menu to do it.

there is loads of free ones on the net Di, although not sure if the same ones for photoshop work in elements, but there is literally hundreds, i usually google say " usm actions for photoshop and get results, you could try the same for elements if u cannot use those.

A library of actions that we all use might be a usefull thing to have here, worth a shout to the boss i reckon.

Thanks Barry

I'll try googling as you've suggested.

I do like the sound of the library though if that possible.

It sounds a smashing idea Di... but the only problem is that it probably won't benefit you too much as most of the forum users here are using PSCS2 or 3.. which means that we have different tools to elements so I would think that they wont work for you... ???
