There is no real way to combine or split catalogs in Elements. I don't think it will help you to post that feature request in the feedback forum as Adobe wants this features to be restricted to Lightroom.

That is why it has always been highly recommended to work on a single catalog.

If you have to merge several catalogs, you'll have to keep in mind that you can import the contents of another catalog into a master catalog if:

- you can identify from which folders to import those files, that generally means moving those files to a new destination from the old catalog.

- you have 'written metadata to files' from the old catalog before moving and importing.

You'll recover tags and captions, but not albums, stacks nor version sets.

Hi there,

We do not have an option to merge catalogs or import from another catalog in Elements organizer.

You can submit the idea as a feature request at the forums linked below. This forum is monitored directly by out developers and they can check if the feature can be included in a future version.
