The actions are fine and I'd appreciate 'em...but I don't have PhotoShop. That's what I really need.
As I looked at the upgrade path on the web, it sorta seemed like one could upgrade from Elements to CS2 (which is the version I'm trying to help my friend with.)
Carl, didn't you say that you had a copy that you installed and then immediately got rid of?

Ray,I have a couple of actions that I picked up off the internet that work pretty well for some standard workflow and shapening. They're not very large (in size) so I can zip them up and send them off. I can help him load them if needed. How's that sound?MichaelOn Sat, Nov 28, 2009 at 11:02 AM, Ray Buck <<mailto:rbuck@xxxxxxxxxxxx>rbuck@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Yanno, karma is an interesting thing. Not too long ago I made the post "PhotoShop hates me." Today I have a friend in Washington ask me questions about how to automate his photo post-processing workflow. I suggested that he create an action script to do this. Well, as good a friend as he is...well, he's not really all that computer savvy. And he's on a Mac.I did some googling and found how to record an action and tried to explain it to him, buy it was sorta like the blind leading the blind...or in this case, the dumb leading the deaf. But my friend stopped me in the middle and told me that he has a brand-new, never opened or installed update package with PhotoShop CS2...for PC, rather than Mac, He's putting it into the mail today so that I can install it on my Windoze XP machine and then guide him through the steps as I do 'em.Here's the problem. Being an upgrade, I need an older copy of PS (with activation key) to use as the basis for the upgrade. I ain't got one. So...does anyone have an older PS package that I could install on my XP box and then upgrade? That would sure help me help him.See the karma in all this? I slam PS and then I need to install it to help a friend. I prolly shoulda kept my yap shut. But alas, I didn't so karma has once again bitten me on the ass.I'd appreciate any help on this. Oh...I don't think PS Elements will work as a base, but Adobe's website indicates that you can do it (to CS4, anyway) if you pay the $600 ransom. I won't even start a rant here.Anyway if ya got one and aren't using it, I'd appreciate being able to use it so I can help my friend out.Thanks, Ray -- Michael Wells MCWells Photography <mailto:mcwellsphoto@xxxxxxxxx>mcwellsphoto@xxxxxxxxx 801-850-7279
