Elements+ Setup

"Elements+" (hereinafter, "E+") is an add-on that powers up Adobe Photoshop Elements (hereinafter, "PSE").

For placing all the necessary files on your computer just run the E+ installer (elements+2024.exe) and follow its instructions. The first PSE launch after the E+ setup usually takes several minutes, because the application has to rebuild its cache file.

Thereafter, you can find the E+ features in the PSE Editor's "File > Automation Tools" menu. For example, "File > Automation Tools > E+ Layers", "File > Automation Tools > E+ Scripts", etc..

If you prefer graphic icons:

1. Go to the "Effects" palette (Window > Effects).
2. PSE 2022+: Select the "Classic" tab.
3. Choose the "Elements+" category (fig. 1).

Another way to use "Elements+":

1. Open the Actions panel (Window > Actions).
2. In the palette menu, select "Elements+" item (fig. 2)

1. In the same menu, click "Load Actions" line.
2. Browse to "C:\Elements+\2024\Actions" folder and choose "Elements+.atn" file.
