Elements+ has been updated to version 9 *** Perhaps, the most requested feature is the ability to re-edit Curves, Color Balance, and other "undocumented" adjustment layers. Now it's possible in PSE 11 and later. Read more >>*** Photographers may benefit from "Linked Smart Objects" (available in PSE 13 and newer). Now we can re-open a RAW photo in Camera RAW dialog and modify its settings. Watch video >>*** Pen and other advanced vector tools let us design elaborated custom shapes. Available in PSE 10 through PSE 14 (but NOT in PSE 15) Read more >>*** Power users can now streamline their workflow by assigning custom keyboard shortcuts to the most used commands (PSE 13+). Watch video >>*** Another great productivity booster is Script Events Manager. It may help to automate some routine tasks or even modify a tool's behavior. Watch video >>*** The revised version of "Hidden Prefs" enables image auto-recovery, automatic layer ungrouping, "Automatic" interpolation method, etc.. Read more >>*** "Menus+" feature helps to customize the main menu of Photoshop Elements. Thus, the advanced users can speed-up their work by marking out the most used menu items. The beginners may also benefit from shorter and colorful menus. Watch video >>

Was there anything "dropped" from 14 to 15? That has happened before and was just wondering if it happened this time. ~bruce. Alas, all the "hidden" Toolbox items are gone: - Mixer Brush - Slice - Ruler - Pen

Glad that it worked, Tom. I think, the next version of "Edit in ACR" script will fix the "16-Bit" issue automatically.

Hello Tom My guess is that you open the image in 16-bit mode. Please, make sure "8-bit" option is selected in ACR window:

Hi Tom By default, "Save Macro" dialog suggests saving a new script to "C:/Elements+/14.0/Scripts/My Macros" folder under a generic name. However, you may choose any other folder on your computer and give to the script any name you wish: (Just avoid special characters like *, ^, etc.) BTW, the saved script/macro must be immediately available in the "Scripts" dialog: Best regards, Andrei

Tom, Please, describe a task/workflow you want to automate. (step by step, exactly as you do it)
I will try to suggest an alternative algorithm for it.

Thanks, Paul. Indeed, I tried to run the script on an RGB image. With Grayscale images, it seems to work for me (tested in PSE 14)

I've just tested the script with Photoshop CS6 and it crashed. Something seems to be wrong with the script itself.

I've just found a simple solution for opening a EPS file. Just change the file's extension from "eps" to "tif". Or download and run this script to automate the renaming: elementsplus.net/scripts/openEPS.jsx

As a rule a name independent script/action/macro can be created both programmatically and automatically.
* While recording a script automatically (e.g. while using E+ Macros feature), in most cases, you can invent a "name independent" algorithm.
BTW, the full Photoshop users have absolutely the same problems while recording actions. So, the workarounds are well known and thoroughly discussed already and can be on Photoshop forums.
Among other tricks, there are some "secret" shortcuts for this. For example, while recording a macro: - Press <Alt+"["> (opening square bracket) keys to select the backward (next lower) layer; - <Alt+"]"> selects the forward (next upper) layer; - <Alt+"."> (dot) selects the front (uppermost) layer; - <Alt+","> (comma) selects the back (lowermost) layer; - <Alt+Shift+"["> adds the backward layer to selection; - <Alt+Shift+"]"> adds the forward layer to selection.
** If you write a script manually, you can refer to the current layer as follows: activeDocument.activeLayer
To select the uppermost layer programmatically, insert into the code this line: activeDocument.activeLayer = activeDocument.layers[0]

Alas, I confirm that the warp transform isn't available in E+.

Tom, 1. Yes, you can record running a script: - While recording a macro, drag the script file onto PSE window 2. You can record opening a RAW file -- but only in silent mode (without opening ACR dialog). However, there is a workaround: - Instead of using "File > Open" command, record to your macro the following script: C:\Elements+\14.0\Scripts\Commands\file - Open RAW.jsx (by dragging it into PSE, as explained in p. 1) Best regards, Andrei

Hello, Tom I'm afraid, converting a script to action isn't possible. However, why not share the recorded script (macro) itself? PSE users don't necessarily need Elements+ to run a script. For example, under Windows, you can run a script by dragging it from Explorer onto PSE window: Under Mac, drop the script file onto PSE icon in the Dock:
