This is really a post directed to the newer members of our fine group. Maybe you haven't "found Graffi" yet. His website contains stuff for sale and a scattering of freebies. The latter change frequently. In addition to products, he has nice tutorial sections.
I have downloaded freebies and, several years ago, bought some "packages". I strongly recommend "Handy Actions". You should also get Add-O-Matic. Everything Graffi sells comes with an "auto installer", one click and it is inserted into Elements - the right place! Add-O-Matic is essential for most of the other stuff, especially freebies, that you grab from various places on the web. Two clicks and Add-O-Matic installs that whatever into Elements. The point is, you don't have to screw around with looking at hidden files within "my programs" to try to get all this stuff in the right place.
I'm making this post because of what happened to me today. All of my "Graffi Stuff" was acquired for PSE5; I have now changed to PSE7. I went to his website to see if what I had would still work -- think some of it will, pretty sure some does need to be upgraded. I sent Mike an email to ask, "what must be upgraded, what is still OK?"
Got a very fast reply. Didn't really answer my Q, said nothing about pricing, simply provided a link: "click this and then do such and so, that will download a 'bundle' of everything you need plus a new product that even isn't offered for sale on the website yet." OK, did that. Shazam - downloaded in a few blinks.
I'm sitting there, holding my credit card, waiting to "complete checkout". Nope - done! Now, I did register when I made the initial purchase and I recorded the password that establishes "my account" (and provides unlimited future downloads of the products purchased). I never dreamed that future downloads would include upgrades to a version that's a heck of a lot better than what I initially paid for.
I also downloaded an upgraded version of Neat Image so the concept of "free upgrades" is not unheard of. I'm just reminding all -- Graffi is a pretty darned good guy to do business with.
