Managing images in Photoshop Elements for MacBook Pro

[gina5FA4]

I have not purchased Photoshop Elements yet.  Trying to understand how to best organize photos.  Do I continue to have ALL my photos located in Photos and import selected photos into Elements for editing and then export the final photo back into Photos.  Or best to just manage ALL photos in Elements.  Understanding the location of photos and having them all in one place is important to me.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi there,

We'd suggest that you start managing images in Albums in Photoshop Elements.  Albums in Elements Organizer are like physical photo albums, where you can store and organize photos in groups of your choice. For example, you can create an album called “Ten Best Vacation Photos” and add ten of your favorite images. You can drag the photos within an album to arrange them in any order you want. You can add a photo to more than one album.

Photoshop Elements is designed for consumers who are just getting started with photo editing and want an easy way to organise, edit, create and share their photos. Automated options deliver great results to enjoy as-is or use as a starting point for creative exploration.
