    I'm with you, Stacia! I have NO idea what they are talking about. But I saw the word "actions" and that did it for me!! Me and actions just don't jive. I have PSE 11 and I can't figure out actions for the life of me!! I have just really started using templates seriously here at this site. For 8 years, I have always created my own layouts, but when I see the awesome work you all do with templates, well, you are turning me around!!!!

    I love this template maker and I use it on pse11! If I recall correctly, there's a video that walks you through setting it up for pse. If not a video, then detailed instructions.
    Actions on pse11 are way easier than earlier versions. I know the setup took a few minutes, but it has saved me so much time!

    This is exactly what made me feel hesitant as well. I tried actions in a previous version of PSE and H.A.T.E.D. them. I NEVER use actions. But I might be willing to try for these!

    I hear ya!! It's hard to work off of change sometimes. (Especially for those of us who like things just so) hee hee.
    I hope you find a good way through to 1) relax and 2) LOVE what you create!!

    Actions are so much easier in PSE11, that was the only reason I upgraded from PSE9.

    Thanks Krista! It was just one of those panic moments while I was trying to find something new, yet something that still felt like "me". I'm too much of a planner sometimes, so not having a set plan that worked is what was really causing the panic. All good now! :-)

    What made it all a bit different is when CC came out rounded rectangles became a different type of "dynamic" shape... and PSE doesn't (or at the time didn't) recognize them. So for PSE I needed to make custom shapes with the same rounded edging size for each rectangle. I feel like Adobe makes it so PSE & CS don't play nicely together on purpose! I always find a way around though.

    I've noticed that before too, and wondered at it. I don't get why they can't make PSE recognize or behave similarly to CS. I mean, I get that it's not as powerful, but you would think the basics could be the same.

    Me too! I grabbed this template maker set to give it a try, and I am hooked! I think this might be my approach for all of 2016!!
