What is a style? I saw one at a digistore and it said that it is a designers best friend and that you can make a lot of things with it.

Second ?: How do you create an action (that is what you call it? a quicker way of doing a bunch of repetitive steps right?) and how to you load one that you brought/downloaded?

TIA for any and all help! There is still SO MUCH I have to learn!!!

I've got tons of styles downloaded...but not all of them turn out to be that great and I really need to clean house and get rid of a bunch of them.

Once you have them loaded, keep in mind that you can tweak them if you need to--and then save them as a new style. Say if one used an outer glow/or an inner glow...you can change that glow to your liking.

They are fun to play with.
