As most of you will know, Un-grouping in Elements isn't possible unless you have an Action for achieving this.
Some time back, maybe in the days of Elements Village, I seem to remember an Action was available to download. Can anyone remember where I could download this action, please?
This would be very much appreciated
Many thanks
Julie

Many Many thanks, Sepiana I hadn't realised the post was so recent  I think I should copy all this sort of thing, ie action, brushes, to a CD so that I don't lose them (for as long as CDs are viable, of course) Julie |

Hi, Sepiana:
A few years back I installed Elements+ for PSE12 primarily to obtain the Grouping feature.
I recently upgraded to PSE14 along with upgrading to Mac OS 10.11.4, which raises two questions:
1) Can dconsc's tools be installed in PSE14 for Mac?
2) Can Elements- for PSE12 be installed in PSE14?
Once again, thanks for your assistance over the years,
Tosh
UPDATE!
Please disregard everything but the thanks, Sepiana.
I couldn't find Elements+ for PSE 14, maybe because I was typing it into the Google search window as Elements + PSE 14, which I think interpreted the + sign differently than I intended. Without the space, it took me to the site for ordering the plug in.
Sorry for the hiccup,
Tosh

Hi Tosh, you are most welcome! Glad to be able to help.
You already got your answers but I am just going to add some more information.
The answer is Yes. This action was written for Elements 7 but, as a rule of thumb, actions written for this version of Elements will work in versions 8 through 14. A word of caution -- There have been confirmed reports that this action won't work when loaded via the Effects panel. Just use the Window>Actions panel.
According to Andrei Doubrovski, the creator of Elements+, . . .
If you don't want to buy E+14, "Elements+ for PSE 12" may be used with PSE 14 as follows: - Load E+12 actions into PSE 14 Actions panel - Or start PSE 14 and use E+12 Tray Menu You may want to check this POST for more information on this issue. |

Sepiana, Squirrel2014, and by extension to Andrei:
Thanks for the information. I did purchase Elements+ for PSE14 and am happily grouping and ungrouping. At some point, I need to investigate all the other features, but that applies to PSE as well regardless of the version. With the kind assistance of Sepiana and other forum members over the years, I've learned to do what I need for my projects, with lots left to know.
Case in point: I've always cropped with the Marquee Tools, and I just watched a tutorial on using the Crop Tool. Well, duh.
Tosh
