Actions created in CC

[kathendyson]

I have a connection of actions created in photoshop CC that I am getting ready to launch and sell. I need to know what versions of photoshop they will  run on so I can relay that information to my customers. How far back will it be able to go? CS3? I also have people asking if they will  work in Elements. I don't have any experience with elements so I'm not sure if all of them will work. I would love some insight please!

You can download trials of most products you might have wonderings about and check things out yourself.

Not all Photoshop actions will work flawlessly in Elements. For example you can't edit a smart object in PSE the way you do in PS. Know also that both PSE14 and PS CC-2014 have a bug (that has been fixed in PSE15 and CC-2015) that causes any steps that attempt to transform an object to fail (when these steps were recorded with the measurement units set to %). In this case you would have to offer separate versions of your products, for PSE14 and CC-2014. Another thing: some things work differently in PSE11 than in PSE15.

Therefore you must test your actions extensively prior to releasing them. Or stick with the latest PS & PSE versions only.
