NOTES ABOUT THE INSTALLATION
The first time you start the Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor after installing the Greeting Card files, the program must rebuild a special file that tells the program what effects are loaded. This may take a few moments and while it is processing you won’t see any effects listed in the Effects Palette. Don’t interrupt this process.
