PSE Action for removing white background for coloring pages

Several of us were on the chat for the Coloring Pages with Denise the other night and the action she provided wasn't working for some of us with PSE. I found a freebie action that works in PSE to remove the white background from our coloring pages!!! I copied and pasted the directions into a word document so I could follow the directions to prep the page prior to running the action. It works terrific.

Make sure to save the action in your approriate file location for me with PSE 9 it's...

C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Locale\en_us\Workflow Panels\actions

Here is the link in case you'd like to try it to...

Amanda did you prepare it before you ran the action?

After you have loaded the action set file, open up the image that has a white background you want to remove.

Make sure the layer is named "Background" and that it is selected. The color mode must be set to RGB.

Change your Foreground color to the color you want the output to be

Does this help?

I'll try it again doing this. I have about 50 actions loaded in PSE8 and this is the only one that doesnt work. But maybe its just something im doing
