Hi, I have a large number of photos in Photoshop Elements Organiser, which I like and find useful. But I now wish for various reasons to install the full Photoshop - CS6 and use this for editing the photos within the Organiser instead of the Elementas Editor. Is this possible please?  If so what do I need to do? Thanks. Bob

From memory as I have no computer available presently:

Right click and select the open with option

or use the edit icon in the bottom button bar

I think there is a shortcut also.

Ctrl+H is the Windows keyboard shortcut to send an image/images to Photoshop from the Organizer.  I assume it will work for CS6.

(Ctrl+I is the shortcut to send images to the Elements Editor.)

    In the organizer, You can edit in

    _ .the Elements editor

    _ Photoshop

    _ your preferred third party editor.

     

    In Photoshop and external editor, you are working in a copy of the original,

    Thanks Michel - That's good news.

    I realise that I am working on a copy, but may I ask further please:  When I wish to edit a photo in the Organiser, at present I click on Editor and this brings up the photo in the Elements Editor automatically. So how do I set it up for editing in CS6 please?

    Thanks again Michel for your quick and helpful reply.

    Yes, the Edit icon at the bottom has a little arrow which brings a dropdown menu which I hadn't noticed.

    This enables a supplementary editing application - which is just what I want.

    You have it solved. I had searched the Internet in vain!
    Many thanks. Bob
