More Info Please?

Hi Hakdak,

Actions in Elements, and Photoshop for that matter, can be temperamental at the best of times. If you're getting a message saying the lightness channel is not available it could be a compatibility issue. What is the action you're installing? Is it tested for version 8 of Elements? Where are you installing it?

Let me know and I'll take a closer look

Matt
