Installing Grant's Tools with PSE 5.0

[lmilgram]

Hi...I'm sure this has been addressed, but I can't find a post with the answer. Does anyone know how to install Grant's Tools with PSE 5.0? I am running Windows XP.

Thanks!

I'll bump for you. I know this isn't hard, I used grant's tools back when I had PSE 5. It's just been a while since and I really don't remember what I did. Did you surf around his website? I seem to recall he had instructions there. I post again if I remember something else. Good Luck! -c-

Ok I googled around & found the path for PSE 5 w/XP:

"Installing Grant's Tool in PSE5. First make sure that the "Show hidden folders and files" option is turned on in Windows. Then create a Shortcut on the desk top to:

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

To install an action just unzip the file and then drop the folder on the shortcut ... restart Elements and the action then shows up in Special Effects>Photo Effects."

I believe when I used PSE 5, I skipped making the shortcut and put the folder directly into the "Photo Effects" folder. HTH -c-
