Hello,
I really do have ADD, I'm not joking. I have had PSE 15 for about 6 months. I have put about 20,000 images in it (I know, thumbnails that point to the image).
Here is my problem. While scrolling through my one and only catalog I got sick of seeing the things that comprise most of the stuff that is in the bottom right-hand side when one is in Editor/Expert mode. Stuff such as, layers, effects, filters, etc. I figured I would never use them and often times I would have to scroll through hundreds of them to look at MY PICTURES. I figured, 'toss them in the trash! Delete them. I'll never use them and they slow me down as I try to find my favorite photos to enhance." Dumb move.
Now, I regret doing the above. For example, some of the frames really help compliment the look of some of my photos. Is there a way to get all of that 'stuff' back without having to reinstall my copy of PSE 15? I have done thousands of edits and made several slide shows. I have tagged thousands of images. I am disabled and do not work. So, PSE 15 was my 'job'. I think I just got 'fired'. Grin. I would hate to have to lose all of my previous 'work' to get the 'goodies' that I deleted.
So . . . I was wondering . . . can I put all my current work into a file/folder of some type. . . and then delete and reinstall a clean copy of PSE 15 (I don't have to buy it again do I? I can still use my previously purchased version - correct?). And then, import the items that were in said file back into the clean install of PSE 15?
Finally, lets say I was able to do the above, is there a way to keep that stuff (the bottom right hand-side of Editor/Expert mode) OUT of my images catalog . . . so I can quickly scroll through my pictures without wading through a 'sea of effects' stuff that I might use some day?
Thanks in advance!
Dean
