PSE8 - Restore Organizer after Re-install

  • February 10, 2019

Organizer works/ Editor won't load.

I'll have to try to uninstall and reinstall PSE8 from my disk and then restore the organizer from my PS save.

Question: Does the restore actually restore my photos in the source folder on my PC?

Or does it just attempt to re-link them to PSE?

After uninstall I think I should delete the PSE Organizer and PSE Editor folders from my PC before the re-install?

    Yes. Unless you choose to restore the folder tree under a new master folder.

    No.

    Uninstalling will delete PSE editor and organizer.

    You don't need to deactivate by using the menu Help > sign out before an uninstall and sign in (with your license key) after the reinstall, but you can do it.
