Hello, I should be chatty and introductory here I realize, but I have a concern that is a bit overriding and don't know where to go. Sorry. I hope to get to know others. I just got a login yesterday, though I subscribed Oh maybe a month ago.
My problem is convoluted; I will paste my explanation in from a document. Please let me know where I might possibly seek assistance with resolving it. Then I should like to find out more how I go about getting to know others and adding to my friends/contacts and/or using the forum. Thanks.
Well, I have goofed up big time. I downloaded Grant’s Tools for Elements 6. I opened it up and pasted .atn and .png files into photo effects. Then went back and renamed .xml files to .metadata files and pasted them into photo effects as well.
Then I went into the Locale/en_us folder, but instead of deleting the MediaDatabase.dbe3 file, I renamed it as a copy. I was afraid it wouldn’t rebuild. So now I have two of these files in there and one is Media Database (2).dbe or something like that and I’m not sure which is which because the word copy is deleted.
Anyhow, to top it off, I seem to have inadvertently moved my locale/en_us folder to another location. After much searching around I found it under c:\Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Locale_us.
Oh but this is not all--Also in this location, c:\Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Photo Creations\photo effects, is where I find all of the Grants tools files, with the nicely renamed .xml files. I don’t seem to find any Documents and Settings folder when I enter c:\ drive. Is that normal?
There is more. In my desperate attempt to make every thing right I went into C:\Users\Sara\Application Data\ . I couldn’t find Adobe folder there, but by dropping down to Roaming folder I found an Adobe folder, opened it and then went blithely down to Photoshop Elements\6.0\ where I pasted an entire copy of the original Grants tools download with no modifications, AND created a new folder named Photo Creations and, under that, a new folder photo effects. In the folder photo effects I pasted, yes, another copy of .atn and .png files.
I had quite the day yesterday. Suffice it to say that there are no Grants tools in my Elements 6 application. When I try to apply them to a document I get an error message:
Could not load the actions because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop.
Oh yeah.
Any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any help and guidance you could offer.
Thank you,
Sanguine :cool:
