How to Download Extras into Elements 5

Please advise as to into what sub-folder do I place downloads or extras. Thanks,Ed.

Hi Ed ...

Most of the things go in the same folders that they did before ...

Files ending in .abr go in the Brushes folder
.aco in the Colour Swatches folder
.csh in Custom Shapes
.grd in Gradients
.pat in Patterns

Layer Styles go in C: Documents and Settings>All Users>Application Data>Adobe>Photoshop Elements>5.0>Photo Creations>Special Effects>Layer Styles (make sure that the "Show hidden folders and files" option is turned on in Windows first)

Actions go in: C: Documents and Settings>All Users>Application Data>Adobe>Photoshop Elements>5.0>Photo Creations>Special Effects>Photo Effects

Hope this helps :)

.csh in Custom Shapes

AND C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Photo Creations\artwork\shapes

Layer Styles go in C: Documents and Settings>All Users>Application Data>Adobe>Photoshop Elements>5.0>Photo Creations>Special Effects>Layer Styles

AND C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 5.0\Presets\Styles

Actions go in: C: Documents and Settings>All Users>Application Data>Adobe>Photoshop Elements>5.0>Photo Creations>Special Effects>Photo Effects

in a subdirectory, or else they'll show up at the top of the palette no matter what set you want to load.... ;)
