Moving or modifying media files
Because Elements Organizer contains references to files, avoid moving or modifying them outside of the software. If you move or alter the file
outside of Elements Organizer, you are prompted to reconnect to the file.
Use the following suggestions to move or modify files associated with a catalog.
Move the files in your catalog with the Move command (select a file and choose File > Move).
Rename the files in your catalog with the Rename command (select the item and choose File > Rename).
If you’ve deleted a file, remove its listing from the catalog, so that the item no longer appears in the Media view. Fix this from the Reconnect
Missing File dialog box or with the Edit > Delete From Catalog command.
Edit the original file in its original application by using the Edit > Edit With [Original Application] command.
To set up this command, do the following:
Select Edit > Preferences > Editing (Windows) or Adobe Elements Organizer 11 > Preferences > Editing (Mac OS).
Select Use A Supplementary Editing Application, click Browse, and locate and select the application.
Click Open.
Using this command also allows you to change the filename and file type (for example, from BMP to JPEG) without causing a missing file
error. If necessary, update the thumbnails when you’re finished editing.
Use (convert) a catalog of a previous version
When you open Elements Organizer for the first time after installation, you are prompted to convert catalogs from previous versions. When you
click Yes, catalogs from the previous version are converted and renamed.
If you have not converted catalogs earlier, use the following procedure to convert catalogs from previous versions.
Adobe recommends that you take a backup of your previous catalog using File > Backup Catalog.
1. In the latest version of Elements Organizer, select File > Manage Catalogs.
2. Click Convert.
3. Select the catalog from the list that is displayed.
4. Click Done.
Notes for users upgrading their catalogs to Photoshop Elements 11
Enhancements to the user interface and changes to supported file formats necessitate changes to the catalog conversion process as well. The
following table helps you upgrade your catalog smoothly to Photoshop Elements 11.
