How to Install Drop Shadow Actions in PSE
Actions are used to apply several changes to one or more images in Photoshop Elements (PSE), keeping you from repeating each action from scratch. Install actions, such as effects, that either you or someone else created directly into PSE. A drop shadow is one of several effects in PSE. It changes the appearance of an image, adding depth to flat objects. Your installed action works the same as actions you create within the program.
