I selected all images to back up to a dvd. In the box that asks for destination I clicked os (D ). A message came up telling me I did not have permission to access that location. Why? It is my computer. I should be able to go anywhere I want. Why did I get this message. ( I then clicked on destination F which was the right thing to do after all, my images were recorded to the disc. But why Do I not have permission to get into my computer.

Hi there,

Sorry that you're getting an error message saying you do not enough permissions to save on your D drive using Photoshop Elements Organizer. Let us help make this right.

Which version of Photoshop Elements are you using?

You may want to check the permissions on your drives to make sure that you're logged in as administrator if needed. See Basic troubleshooting steps to solve problems and issues in Adobe Photoshop
You may also want to try saving to your desktop just to see if it's a communication problem with a drive.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Akash

thank you but in doing some reading on your link provided, I was not able to do anything. I was supposed to search for PE then select properties, click security, etc. The problem is that I could not find anywhere to get "properties" to show up on the screen so could not proceed. I am using PE 14 on windows 10.

I don't know it it will work, I am not going to waste a dvd to find out, but I just went into PE by typing PE in the search box. PE came up with choices and I chose to open PE as Administrator. I then went to select a few images in the organizer and proceeded to copy to a dvd. I chose os (d) destination AND I THINK IT IS GOING TO LET ME DO IT. Maybe that's the answer. just log into PE as administrator instead of clicking on the short cut icon on the windows screen?
