I have exported about 200 photos from Macintosh Photos to a folder and then imported them into elements organizer. When I try to edit or save I get a message and action to reconnect file but that folder I exported to doesn't show as an option. Any help most appreciated.

Charlie

Also can I batch file reduce to send these picture of grave markers to a friend.

Thanks for both

    Hi,

    I have exported about 200 photos from Macintosh Photos to a folder and then imported them into elements organizer. When I try to edit or save I get a message and action to reconnect file but that folder I exported to doesn't show as an option. Any help most appreciated.

    Unfortunately, I'm unable to understand the exact steps you've performed and the issue you are facing. I suggest you to re-import this folder again in organizer by using Import > From files and Folders option.

    Let me know your findings.

    Also can I batch file reduce to send these picture of grave markers to a friend.

    Please elaborate more about your query here.

    Thanks

    Thanks Arshla Jindal, I will try to be as clear as I can. First I exported these photos from Mac Photos to a folder on my hard drive. I then opened Elements Organizer, then selected my folder called Mac Photos using get files and folders, and imported the photos. I emailed some to a friend. Closed Elements and re-opened later and then whenever I tried to even select a photo got a message saying needed to reconnect. Wasn't able to so that is where I am at. I still may not have explained clearly enough but don't worry as will someway use Mac Photos. Thanks for all your help though.

    Forgot to say I also wondered if I could reduce the file size other than when emailing .

    Here is an help doc about reconnection:

    Photoshop Elements (PSE) knowledge base.

    Forgot to say I also wondered if I could reduce the file size other than when emailing .

    - From the editor, individually from the menu Image >> resize

    - or by batch from the menu File >> process multiple files

    - or from the organizer from the menu File >> Export as new files.
