Ditching Photoshop Elements

Question

I am going to delete Photoshop Elements completely because I cannot, after hours of searching, figure out how and why it stores the images I import from my dslr.

I set up the photo storage folder in preferences when I purchase this software. Now I find that most of these photos are stored on my OneDrive and I have no more cloud storage space.

I am no photoshop expert, but I am an accomplished computer user.

Also, I find PE doing "creations" even after I spent considerable time figuring out how to turn that "feature" off!

I am very confused by this program to the point where I can't use it anymore. Paid my license fee! Can't find where my stuff is and don't understand why it seems to ignore my file preferences.

Could I be responsible for this mess? Yes! I assumed that I could use it without difficulty.

I hope you will excuse this rant, but I am at the end of my rope.

Are you using the Adobe Photo Downloader to import the file from your DSLR (using the Import>from Camera or Card Reader option). If so, you tell the the program exactly where to store the files. Whatever is set here overrides any preferences which merely provide a default location.

Are you saying that this location is not being honored? If that is the case, then I suspect that the problem is with your settings for OneDrive.

If you want to resolve the issue and I haven't addressed it to your satisfaction, we need more details of what is happening with screenshots of the APD dialog and whatever other preferences you think you may have set.
