I'm trying to download the free Custom Shapes from the Elements Techniques site. I had no problem loading the first set. When I open the Custom Shapes tool they have their own name in the drop-down menu.
I then downloaded the second set but cannot find them in the drop-down menu in Elements Shapes. I know they are there somewhere because when I go to Program Files/Adobe/Presets it shows icons for both sets. When I click on the second set I loaded it opens in Elements and there they are. But when this second set opens I noticed it not just the second set but the whole first set with the second set added to the bottom. I hope this is making sense. So I can open the first set in Elements but if I want access to the second set I have to go to Program Files, etc. All I want is to open them both in Elements and for each to have its own name in the drop-down menu. I don't understand why the first set loaded so easily and second set kind of got lost.

I checked back later and the second set of custom shapes now appears in my drop-down menu. I guess if you're patient things happen!

Hi Peggy ...

I was just replying to your message when your new message appeared :D

When you have installed something in Elements (like brushes, shapes etc) you need to close down Elements and then restart it. Until you do that the things don't show up ... :)
