I want to install PSE on an SSDS drive but keep my picture files on another DH.  Can I?  If so, how?

Yes you can.

Also, if yes, how much bigger would the Elements file be over the software install on the SSD?

I can't say for sure, but I suspect not much.

Your photos are not stored in Photoshop Elements.  They are wherever you choose to store them.

Or did you mean that you wanted to install the Organizer on a different drive?

The SSD drive I have installed is a 250 Gig drive but my photo file is 600 Gigs.  Can I install Elements on my SSD and have it refer to my pic file on the HD?  Also, if yes, how much bigger would the Elements file be over the software install on the SSD?  What I mean is that I want the Organizer on my SSD but tag the pics on my HD.  I know that Organizer only tags the pics but I need to know how big it would make the Organizer file as I have such a big pic file.
