ACTIONS IN SETS

Photoshop Elements 7 has a new Guided Action Player. This player enables Designers to create their actions in "sets" so that they are grouped.

Below are links and e-mail addresses to those designers who have informed me that they will have sets in their stores. In addition, these designers welcome those who have already purchased actions from them in the paste to contact them and they will group your previous purchases into sets for you.
