Well, this is something I should have known, but since I don't know... -I'll ask.

I downloaded some Panos actions, and ran them in Elements 12. I used the "More" tab in expert mode and chose "load action" and it all went well.

My question is, can I delete the file in my download folder, or do I have to keep it (in that folder or another folder?), or does it exist in another folder now since I have loaded it into Elements?

Hope this was understandable!

I have never loaded or used actions before and it was fun!

Why? Because they take very little room and it enables me to load them in future versions of PSE.

Then I can make a folder for keeping them and move them there without any risk of affecting Elements?
