[britfullmer]

thank you so much for the great lessons on saturday. i am wondering if those tips will be posted in tips like the last ones so that i can review. just doing things that one time they dont sink in quite as well as i would like. i havent been digi for very long.

leslie, i loved what you did loading all the discs in adobe but i cant remember how you did it and i have been playing with it for a while, but cant seem to dig it out of the bottom of my brain. if you could post it that would be great!!!

So glad you asked. That is exactly why we wanted this forum. I don't know the answer to your question but I e-mailed Leslie to come here and post the answer if no answers you before she gets here.

Maybe we should start new threads for all the topics covered Saturday so that it's easier to find the answers. I'll start a few threads later when I have time if no one else does.

Using the Photo Browser in Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 and 5.0 to view and organize pictures and your Digital Scrapbook Memories papers and elements.

1. Copy the Digital Scrapbook Memories CD that you want to import into the Photo Browser to a folder on your computer. (I would put all files from the CD into one folder and label it the same as your CD.)
2. Open Adobe Photoshop Elements. On the main start up window, click on "View and Organize Photos" to open the Photo Browser. You can also access the Photo Browser from the photo Editor screen by clicking "Organize" at the top of the screen under the menu bar.
3. Then click "File", "Get Photos", "From Files and Folders".
4. Then highlight the folder or folders you want to import and make sure that "Get Folders for Subfolders" is checked. Do not open the files.
5. Click "Get Photos" button. Your photos will automatically start importing into your photo browser. When they are all imported, only the photos you just imported will be on the screen.
6. Now you may want to put the photos into collections. On the right side of the screen you should see a window that says "Organize". If you do see this, go to the top of the screen and on the menu bar, click "Windows", then on the drop down menu click, "Organize Bin".
7. Here you can create a new "Collection Group" with "Collections" underneath. For example: Your Collection Group would be labeled Digital Scrapbook Memories. And your Collections in that group would be the names of each of the Digital Scrapbook Memories CD's (In the Mood, Collection 1, etc.).
8. Next click "Edit" in the menu bar, then "Select All", then drag the photos into the "Collection".
