Hi everyone,
Once again, Panos displays his trademark -- Generosity. Here is his new FREE action (for PS and PSE). Make sure to check the compatibility/version information before downloading this action.

A NOTE ABOUT THE NEW ACTIONS:
When I unzipped the file I observed there were two actions, one named blah blah pse and one named blah blah pse14. I wrote to Panos and asked him what the difference was. Here is his reply:
Photoshop Elements 14 had a serious bug: when an action attempted to transform a Photoshop object (e.g. a layer, a selection, etc), the result was very awkward; PSE might even crash. Unfortunately Adobe fixed this bug in Photoshop Elements 15 and didn't include the fix in PSE14.
At some point, the new "NESTED" actions create a reflection of these 'nested boxes'. To create the reflection, the actions transform a number of layers. So, the PSE14 version basically lacks those steps that create the reflection, to prevent the program from crashing.

Hi,
I hope you like the new action.
A few things about the bug that affected many actions a few years ago, when PSE14 was released:
This bug first occurred when Adobe released Photoshop CC-2014, in June 2014. At that time, the current PSE version was PSE12.
PSE14 was released 16 months later; in the meantime Adobe had fixed the Photoshop bug.
To my disappointment the bug was inherited in PSE14, which was released in September 2015. It was only fixed in PSE15.
As a developer I had two options: the easy way was to stop developing actions for PSE14. It's a very small market after all. But I had some good friends using PSE14. So, I sat down and found an array of workarounds to make my actions work in PSE14. In rare cases I had to sacrifice a few functions (like the reflections in the case of the "Nested" actions).
My advice to PSE14 owners is: upgrade to the latest version.
Panos
