    Put the actions which should include the atn, .png and metadata.xml files?

    into

    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Photo Creations

    Then delete both the

    ThumbDatabase.db3 in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0

    and

    MediaDatabase.db3 in C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Locale

    Then start the pse 9 editor and wait for the effects data base to rebuild, which might take up to 20 minutes.

    To see the ProgramData folders on windows 10 which are hidden by default:

    1. In the search box on the taskbar, type folder, and then select Show hidden files and folders from the search results.
    2. Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then select OK.
