Hi,

I have read that "Photoshop Actions" can be used with the newer versions of the Photoshop Elements programs. Is this true, and if so, can the newer versions of Photoshop Elements program work with any "Photoshop Action" file?  If someone would please let me know about this, I would greatly appreciate it. 

Thanks so much,

-Cfguy

Photoshop elements has been able to use photoshop actions since photoshop elements 1 (circa 2001)

Starting with photoshop elements 11 there has been the Window>Actions panel, which is somewhat similar

to the Actions panel in photoshop minus the recording capabilities.

 

While i would say most if not all photoshop actions should Load into the photoshop elements Actions panel, not all will work due to changes from earlier photoshop versions they may have been recorded with and/or commands that photoshop elements doesn't understand.

 

If you have an action, try it and if it doesn't work you can post here and we can try to figure out why and if there is a workaround.
