Peeking out of my shell and a question

[OurPinkLife]

Hi. I'm new here My name is Maria.

I want to get into digiscrapping but I am not used to using elements- I used to use CS3 before. I have a couple things I can't figure out how to do and I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. First, how do you install actions in Elements? I have looked on many different websites and they say to put the files in the special effects folder but I don't have one of those? Also, in CS3 there was something called "blending options" where you could do drop shadow, stroke, etc. Anyone know where that is in Elements?

Thanks for any help

Welcome! wondering why the switch to PSE? I'm waiting for my CS... but PSE is easier (you just started with the harder program first!) For help with installing actions, check out Atomic Cupcake's tutorial for your version of PSE. The blending modes in PSE are in the palette bin on the left sidebar under "Artwork and Effects" and then "Layer Styles". I use PSE5 (the dinosaur) but I'm glad to help, so PM me if you need it!
