Hi,
just discovering the PhotoShop Elements Organizer.

When browsing, I want to be able to select some pictures and send copies of the selected pictures to a specific fodler on my hard disk. I just don’t find how to do this.

is there a way to have a "Copy to" which asks for the destination folder where copies of those pictures will be sent?

Thanks for any help.

Sincerely,
Steve JORDI

I think files have to be sent to Editor first,then saved as, to any folder you want,

Not that I’m aware of. IMO, PSE’s "Organizer" isn’t really worth the disk space it takes up if your intent is to use it to manage your image files. The only reason I started using the organizer is because iTunes reads its catalog and makes them available for syncing to my iPhone or iPod. Other than that… the only usability I’ve found for it is to centralize my image editing workflow.

The organizer does not have any mechanism to move or copy files between disk folders.

The organizer does not have any mechanism to batch-rename files, so you have to do that outside of the organizer BEFORE you import the files. If you do so after, PSE may automatically find the newly named files (if so set) but will utterly fail to remove the old names from the catalog meaning you’ll have to do so manually and if you’ve put them into Albums, you’ll have to put them back in…

My advice is that unless you need to use the organizer for use with something else or using it for editing workflow, don’t bother. Use ACDSee, IrfanView, or even just your computer’s built-in photo viewer.

Thanks all for your comments.

Actually, I’m using ThumbsPlus from Cerious that lets you organize them and also move them around, copy them around.
Sending to the editor and resaving means, for JPG, degrading the info one more time.

Ok, I’ll give up using Adobe Organizer.
And as you said, it’s database takes a lot of disk space…

Thanks for your help.

Ctrl-e resaves the picture and degrades it. It’s not the copy of the original file.
I have up anyway using PSE
Thanks for your help.
