Organiser

[maroon hills]

Is it possible to go directly into the organiser from a desktop icon, avoiding having to first enter by way of the "introductory" page which shows "Oganiser, Photo Editor, Video Editor " and all the other features on offer?

When you loaded Elements you should have two icons, one is for organizer and the other for editor.
You can select either to open.

thanks for replying however I want to bypass the home screen and set up a short cut for the organiser and the editor on my desktop

Same solution as for the editor:  create a desktop shortcut to the exe file of the organizer:

By default C:> programmes > Adobe > Elements23 Organizer > PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe

You can even create such a desktop shortcut from the main database file in your chosen catalog folder:

catalog.pse21db

Great stuff. Thanks for that.

Just as a matter of interest I've got the shortcuts for the Organiser and the Editor set up ok but I can't see the catalog/database anywhere. Not too fussed but I woud appreciate it if you could check that it is still the same for pse23. Cheers

To find the location of your catalog folder, In the organizer choose Help > System Information.

The main database file "catalog.pse21db" if you are in PSE2023 is the important choice.

Good to know: you can double click that catalog.pse21db file to open the organizer with that catalog.

Nope can't see it, must be missing something pretty obvious. No matter got the shortcuts that was the main thing. Thanks again
