Photoshop Elements 10, how to consolidate pictures on disk?

When I moved my wife's pictures to a new computer, I put the pictures and catalog on the D: drive, thinking that the new pictures would also go on the D: drive.  I did this because the C: drive on her computer is a small SSD, and only has the Windows 7 OS, apps, and minimal data that needs to be on the C: drive.  Anyways, I see now that Photoshop Elements 10 is putting the new pictures in it's usual place on the C: drive, even though the rest of the pictures are where I put them on the D: drive.  This would be funny, if it wasn't so annoying.
What I need to do is to both move the pictures on the C: drive (they've been organized into albums, of course *smile*) to be with the other, older pictures on the D: drive, and convince Elements to put new pictures in the same place on the D: drive as well.  So far, I haven't figured out how to do this.  As far as I can tell, there's only one catalog, and that's on the D: drive where I'd like it, if that helps, at least it didn't split the catalog itself.
Can anyone help me to move those pictures from C: -> D: (where the rest of the pictures are) without losing the current album organization, and help me figure out what I need to set so that new pictures go in the same place on the D: drive?
I'd really appreciate any help that I can get with this.  It's probably really simple, but...
Thanks much.

To specify where to put new files you want (in the Organizer) Edit> Preferences> Files> Folders for Saved Files.
To move the files from the C: drive to the D: use the Folder Hierarchy view in the Organizer and drag the files from the C: drive folder to the target folder on the D: drive. ALWAYS use the Organizer to move files and folders around. If you use Windows Explorer (or Mac equivalent) the Organizer will lose the connection between the catalog entry and the actual file.
If using Windows I also suggest you set the 'Pictures' location associated with the user to the D: drive as well.
Cheers,
Neale

    After opening a picture in Photoshop Elements 12, how can I copy this picture to a word processor document?

    Open the photo. Press ctrl+A (command+A on a mac) to select it, then Ctrl+C (command+C) to copy it. Go to your word processing document and press Ctrl+V (command+V) to paste it in. (Note that for the last step the procedure may vary slightly depending on your word processor.)

  • S in Photoshop Elements so I can send pictures..

    I need to know how to change email address in Photoshop Elements so I can send pictures.
    I have changed providers and now use gmail.

    In the Organizer Edit> Preferences> Sharing. Select Adobe Email Service and enter your new email address. You'll receive a new verification code at that email address you'll need to enter the first time you use the feature.

    Try downloading the trial. It ought to detect that you have a 64-bit system.
    You aren't using Vista, are you? PSE 13 requires at least win 7 and I think a few folks with vista have gotten a similar error message on trying to install it.

    I would have simply tried to run that exe from its real location :

    To put the album into one group, in the Albums view, select the album and right-click.
    and on the pop-up menu, choose Get Info...
    ..."Yes"
    You should also check on the Info tab and make sure that the Album Artist has "Various Artrists" in it.

  • I have Photoshop Elements 10 - how do I upgrade to 11

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 - how do I upgrade to 11. I tired downloading 11 but got an error message.

    You would have to upgrade to the current version 12 by purchasing it.  Adobe doesn't sell older versions of their software, so if you want to by an upgrade to version 11 you would have to look for some third party vendor which you are less likely to find for an upgrade purchase - and purchasing from a 3rd party vendor can be chancy.

    I'm getting a error that says NONE when I'm trying to reset up Adobe Photoshop Element. How do I fix it? I already have the program but updated my computer from Vista to windows 7, and it didn't transfer over. What do I do?

    Sorry, but I'm not clear when you get the message NONE.
    Which version of Photoshop Elements do you have?
    Have you installed Photoshop Elements on your Windows 7 system?
    What are you doing when you get the message NONE?

  • Photoshop Elements 12: tags have no pictures?

    Photoshop Elements 12: tags have no pictures? Is this deliberate?

    If you mean the thumbnails for the media files themselves in the browsing space, that is different from showing thumbnail icons in front of the tags in the tags panel. When you are getting files ('registering') in the catalog or when you convert catalogs, all your pictures are opened and a small image is created, which may take time, several hours for very big catalog. That task is a background one and does not block or prevent you to browse your pictures : the thumbnails of your present page should be created first.
    If you highlight one or a few empty icons and right click 'update thumbnail', the thumbnail should appear.
    If that is not the case, you could try first to 'optimize' the catalog and let the organizer work overnight. Then the last resort would be to delete the thumbnail cache. It's in your catalog folder (a hidden folder) ; you find its location in the menu help / system info. If you delete the cache, it is recreated automatically when you start the organizer again.

  • How do I speed up Photoshop Elements, I have over 6000 pictures in the catalog?

    What can be done to speed up Photoshop Elements. It seems like the larger the number of pictures in the catalog the slower things get. There must be a way to speed things up.

    A catalog with 6000 items is really a little one. There are users with catalogs over 100 000 items. My bigger one is 53 000 today without any sign of slowing down.
    Since the size of your catalog is not the problem, could you describe for which kind of operation your organizer is slow ? The only procedure which is really dependent on catalog size is the backup : any kind of backup is dependent anyway.
    Other factors may be considered, like background tasks for the autoanalyzer, watched folders, face recognition...
    Which OS ? Elements version ? Computer specs ? Installed RAM  and disk space ?
