Before using elelements 6.0 , I used version 4.0
Once i bought "THE HIDDEN POWER of photoshop elements 4" from Richard lynch.
such things written in the paragraph of Smart filters was possible with that hidden power.
It is very pitty it is not there for elements 6.0 and also not for his successor.
I wrote Richard Lynch about that, but he seems not to have a hurry to change his modification for version 6.

so, I can't do these things here.
I miss some possibilities from Hidden powers.

It is kind of sad that those things are not being supported by both the writers and the vendors. 

I have heard that some of the hidden powers stuff no longer works in PSE and that is sad as well..

Richard's product is an excellent one, and I believe he did put out a version for Elements 6.0.  Adobe, by design or not, has removed some of the features that Richard's software used, so he cannot support a few of the features that he did before.

I have done a suggestion there and indeed  I have them all in.
Only on the place where icons should be, there are empty squares.
going with the cursor over a empty square gives the clue.
I have tried some and they worked.

Mike,
i succeeded to implement the snapshot-icon ( i used this much) in elements 6.0
Investigation tells me that in each hiddenpower-map , there is a one  .psd file with the content of each icon in layers.
So i must delete all the layers and only use the layer I want.
Then i must save it in 64 x 64 pixel with 72 pix/inch and in indexed color in .png format.
I had to do that with each layer.
so ,  i have hiddenpower version 4.0  implemented in elements 6.0

Wow - this is great.  Richard and the support list might be interested in this.

Mike,

i think Richard know this.
But i will place my experience  on the forum.
But the principle , i have from the forum.
Not the idea of the .psd file (s) which contain the icons in layers.
So the only thing Richard has to do, to make  a prgr that extracts the icons or something else.
Now , i had to do it manually.
The nicest thing is that , till now all the things work well.
This is because i have a english version of elements 6.0.
Version 4.0 was Dutch and because of that lots icons did not work.
But the most i do not use.
I could do the job better in Elements 6.0 with the help of Curvemeister.
For people without curvemeister it is a great help.
