Steve, an ATN file is an action. PE2 does not have this option. It’s a full photoshop thing. However, there is a third party add-on which allows for actions. I don’t have it but it’s a book and CD ‘ Hidden Power of Photoshop Elements’ by Richard Lynch.
The file *.ATN are actions and cannot easily be incorporated in Photoshop Elements because there are commands in Photoshop that do not exist in Photoshop Elements (most likely the script will stop and say something like "Action cannot be executed"). Although I have, successfully on occasions, integrated some actions from PS7 to PSE, it’s complexe and for the time being, I don’t have the time to modify any.
Steven:
Jodi’s suggestion is your best bet. Although I was never successfull in integrating any new actions using Richard’s extension of PSE, I know it’s been done before, and some people around here will be able to provide help. But, keep in mind, if this action is specifically using Photoshop 6.0 or 7.0’s commands, it won’t run under PSE without minor / major modifications.
Many thanks to Dorothy & Ray. You answered my question. I did find a puzzle effect and used it as described in ephotozine, but I did not know about the ability to change piece size. Thank you, Steven
