A simple question that I cannot seem to figure out.  I just restored my laptop after a crash.  Photos on external F drive.  Want to use internal C drive as primary drive and external as back up only.  How to I get PS15 to save the catalog to the internal drive and use the internal drive as the primary storage source?  Thanks.

    Is your catalog folder on the external drive, together with your pictures file?

    I think so.

    I had backed up the photos to the external.

    When the laptop failed I installed PS15 on a new laptop and accessed the photos with the external attached.

    Now, how do I move the photo files to the laptop and use the external for backup?

    Thanks so much.

    Is this elements? Photoshop does not have catalogs, but lightroom and elements do.

    PS15 sounds like Photoshop Elements 15, so I'll push it there and ask forgiveness later if I'm wrong.
