Photoshop Elements 11/Perfect Portrait Action

I recently purchased Photoshop 11 and in learning how to use it, I watched a tutorial on the Perfect Portrait.
It's demonstraed easy fixes for removing unwanted clutter. I can't find this action in my version.
Does anyone know if this is on this version, or is there a site I can download for free?

The Perfect Portrait Action is a separate item, not part of PSE, but there is a Perfect Portrait Guided Edit (not the same as the action Mylenium linked for you) that is part of the Touch Up section in Guided Edit:

  • Photoshope Elements when selecting an action, the paint brush tool doesn't work and system keeps freezing, then catching up every 30-45 seconds

    I have been having this problem with elements ever since the last OS upgrade, but it wasn't all the time and it wasn't very bad. Now, I have upgraded my macbook again, and I cannot even edit a photo!! I open the photo, choose an action, say "smooth skin", then choose the paint brush, I start to "paint" over their face and it won't paint a line, I have to keep clicking it, click - it paints, move brush, click again - it paints. Plus, every time I choose a tool or an action, it freezes for about 10 seconds, then catches up to what I am doing, 30 seconds later, it freezes again. HELP!! I have 8 sessions to finish editing by this weekend!! I just want to cry!!

    Try deleting the prefs and the saved application state:

  • Photoshop Elements 11 and installing actions

    I tried time and again to install actions from Pure and cannot find them once I do all the necessary steps.  I cannot pay someone every time I buy actions and want to install them.  I did all the steps from several you tube videos and think they are in but cannot find.  Shouldn't they be on the right with all my other actions?  I get to the point where I copy the actions and paste them into another file and that's up posed to be the last step and they aren't there.

    In pse 11 there is a seperate panel available for adding/removing action files. You can know more about it from http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS57a26560eb6a24db1e1a3067139e6fd9e17- 8000.html
    The simplest way to install an action in PSE 11 is:
    Open Action panel from Window >Action ( the option is available only in expert mode)
    click the right top button to open up the options
    choose "load actions"
    choose your action file and click ok.
    Please note that the action would be available here till you choose "reset actions..". In that case you need to load your actions again
    Please do reply in case of any doubt

  • Does Photoshop Elements 11 support actions?

    I have an old version of Photoshop on an old computer. I dont have the money to by the newest version of photoshop. I just bought photoshop 10, does photoshop 11 support actions? It is the one thing i really miss.

    In addition to the above, photoshop elements supports playing of actions recorded in the full version of photoshop, but not action recording. (same as photoshop elements 10)
    Pse 11 does ship with some actions already installed in various places including the much improved actions player.
    So depending on how old your version of the full photoshop is, pse 11 will probably play a good portion of the actions you can record in photoshop.
    An example of the new improved actions player (panel) in pse 11 that is available in the expert mode (full edit) with some actions added that were recorded in the full version of photoshop.

  • Trying to upload "actions" to photoshop elements 10 but I am having troubles because things are not on my hard drive that need to be there??

    I am trying to upload "actions" to photoshop elements 10 but I am having troubles!  I watched the YouTube tutorial but seem to be missing "Adobe" in my Hard Drive!  Help me I am stuck....

    I just loaded my actions using the PSE 10 from the App Store.
    Close PSE.
    Access the System library location from Finder menu, click "Go" in the menu bar then select "Go to Folder...". Type in  "~/Library" and click Go.
    The systems Library will open up and then you take this path:
    Application Support > Adobe > Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor > Presets > Actions (The Actions folder is where you move your actions file to)
    Then go to the Photo Creations Folder > Locales > en_US and delete the MediaDatabase.db3 file (move it to the trash)
    The next time you launch PSE your Actions DB will be rebuilt with the new actions installed.

  • PhotoShop Elements from the App Store cannot run actions??

    I am so upset that I spent $80 to download PhotoShop Elements 9 from the App Store and then found out that it cannot run actions and presets!!!! For some reason, the version of PSE that you get from the app store is not capable of this, which is the main reason I NEED and USE PhotoShop! Please tell me I am wrong and if so, how to fix it!!! I have them installed in the files correctly but they don't show up in PS. Thank you for any help you can provide, thanks!

  • If I edit a photo in Photoshop Elements, I can't seem to re-import it back into Lightroom. If I open the relevant folder on my Mac the image is present, but Lightroom just doesn't "see" it at all.

    For some reason, my (Mac) Lightroom 5 won't recognise images in folders on my Mac that I've edited in either Photoshop Elements or Perfect Effects 8. If I've previously imported images from a specific folder, Lightroom will show these as greyed-out images (as normal) but will not show other images I've subsequently saved in that folder. Similarly, if I, say, select three images from Lightroom to use the Photomerge option in Elements, the subsequent saved image won't be recognised by Lightroom.
    I've tried moving locations, saving in umpteen different formats etc., but the problem persists. No problem importing existing images from either SD card or old folders on the computer.
    It's very frustrating!

    Ah-Ha! Right, think I've worked out the problem!
    When I save a photo from Photoshop, I often place it on the desktop with a view to e-mailing it or posting it somewhere on the internet. I've just looked at the file that was supposedly saved as a .psd, but under "properties" it has no file extension. So I added the .psd and bingo, up it popped in the LR import window! I've since gone into Photoshop preferences & ticked it to add a file extension. That's really odd - I've never deselected that option but, hey ho, mystery solved.
    Many thanks for your patience Mr Paige, I should have looked at this before. Put it down to advancing senility...

  • Perfect Portrait Blur, Elements 11 will not Work

    Dear PhotoShop Elements gurus,
    I am using Elements 11 on Windows 8.
    Under the The "Guided" function and "Perfect Portrait",  attempt to blur (Apply Smart Blur), the Smart Blur" window pops ups,I click okay, nothing happens.
    Any ideas, comments and direction would be much appreciated.
    I have used this fuction successfully under Windows 7, and installed the latest patch
    Thank You

    What is not working. Editor or Organizer. These are two options yo get when you click on PSE icon from desktop which launches Welcome screen.
    In case it is Editor try this first
    1. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    2. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Thanks,
    Garry

  • Adobe Actions in Photoshop elements

    I have recently acquired a program that was originally designed on Adobe Photoshop.
    I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements, bot most features are included
    One difference is that Photosop Element does not have an 'action button' to load the action script.
    However, I have copied these in manually
    Action Taken
    a) Installed graphic program into c:\Program Files\graphic program
    b) Opened the Action Script Folder and copied all the Action Scripts files
    c) c:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\presets\Photoshop Actions\
    d) Pasted all the action scripts that I copied from the Action Script Folder
    So Far So Good
    Opened Photoshop Elements : They have a file browser button. From here I can browse to :-
    c:\program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\presets\Photoshop Actions\
    But I cannot load any templates or activate the program
    Can anyone advise on this please
    Brian

    Hi Barbara,
    Thanks for your response
    I am using Photoshop Elements 2.0 and the third party program in question is "eCoverGo"
    http://www.ecovers-go.com/
    As mentioned it was designed for Adobe Photoshop and required all the files to be placed in the photoshop action folder.
    Photoshop Elements does not have an action feature, but I followed their procedure and copied all the files into the Elements/photoshop actions folder OK. But there is no way to load these files into Photoshop Elements.
    I have asked how they activate these files in photoshop, and received the following
    "copy the shortcut into the relevant directory (depending on which version of Photoshop), then I go to the actions window and select the action.
    Select the first step and press the play button, modify the image created, and then run step 2 and step 3.
    I can also double click an action in its folder and it will open in Photoshop."
    The problem is' Photoshop Elements does not have an 'Actions Window' and the second is, after double clicking on an action in it's folder, Photoshop opens and I'm back to square one!!"
    I realise that I may be whistling in the Wind, and no way take the program developer to task, because it has been designed for Adobe Photoshop and not Photshop Elements.
    And it defeats the whole exercise by purchasing Adobe Photoshop for the sake of getting a low budget program to work, when Photoshop Elements suit my requirements at the moment
    Once again, thanks for your interest Barbara, but don't drive
    yourself crazy.If it wont work in Elementsthen it wont work!
    Best regards
    Brian

  • How to use the "Actions" in Photoshop Elements 11

    I am wanting to use the "Actions" in Photoshop Elements 11.  But when I get the actions box up, it is only showing a small list of effects to use.  The tutorials I have checked into all show a very long list of actions. When I click on the little arrow and click on "load actions", I am getting nothing. Everything is blank.  It says "No items match your search."  Please help! 

    To use the existing actions, try the following:
    1. Open one of the Action Sets, in this example Special Effects is the Action Set, by pressing the small arrow beside the set name.
    2. Then click on the name of the Action, in this example Faded Ink is the Action name.
    3. Then press the Play button to run the action.

  • Is there a way to create actions in Photoshop Elements 7

    Is there a way to create actions in (or for, other than Photoshop, CS3, 4, 5) Photoshop Elements 7?

    You can certainly create actions for Elements (just make sure you don't include steps, like a history snapshot, that PSE can't do), but you can't create them IN elements, only in photoshop.
