Did you delete your MediaDatabase.db3 file from here: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Locale\en_US? You might want to rename it old or something rather than just deleting it (I just delete, though). That should rebuild things for you so it will show up.

Here you go for the install part

C: Documents & Setting\All Users|Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Locale\ en-US or your own locale\Photo Creations\Layer Styles

They will then appear under Show All. To get them to appear in their own category you have to write an xml file for them.

Ok..I did as Sunny suggested...it rebuilt..Suzi... I put it in that file C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\Locale\en_US\Photo Creations\layer styles.

Still not finding it...it should be in alphabetical order...I've looked under layer styles and everything...not showing up.

Ok...any thoughts on how to make a flame look really yellow and glowing??? :thanks:

To see it, I think you have to click on show-all. Try using the burn tool, see if that will darken it, you could also try painting with a color, maybe
also select the flame put on it's own layer use the Hue and Sat adjustment on it and maybe apply an outer glow style
