PSE 5 Help, Please!!!

[Hom74]

I'm sorry for all the frustrations when I know all you want to do is scrap! I've never had Elements so can't really help you. Wonder if you could try to have an Explorer Window open (right-click on the Start button and click "Explore") to your kit folder, hit "View" ==> "Thumbnails". then where there's something you want in PSE, click on the image in Explorer and drag it into your PSE?

Truth be told...after having my picture chosen, I usually have 2 Explorer Windows opened at the same time...one w/my main kit I'm working with and the other to browse for other stuff.

I do exactly what Karen has said. I've never used PSE 3 or 5... but have used PSE 4 for over a year. I had lots of problems with PSE Browser freezing and causing trouble. Simply using Windows as my way to select my elements has been much better for me.

Thanks ladies. That worked fine and I am now using PSE5. Now to figure out the extraction tool.
