nicole_j Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have kind of a dumb question but I'm wondering and hoping there is a solution. (I'm using PSE 5) Is there a way to save not only the LO your working on, but all the files that are in the current photo bin also. Is there a way to save all of it like some kind of workspace? I don't always like to put everything on the LO till I edit and tweek a lot of the files. Seems like with the spurts of minutes I get to work on it usually mean I have to close everything and hope to find all the things I want to use again. I was thinking about tagging everything for a particular LO with a "collection" tag in the organizer. Any advice? ...besides hurry the heck up and get something done at one sitting.

Guest siraacsa Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Good question Nicole. I don't think that you can but then I am not in any way an expert on PSE5. I would love it too if someone said you could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiakMama Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I was wondering the same thing last night too. I generally drag over to my bin all of the stuff I think I might want to use on my LO. Last night I just dragged a bunch of it onto the center of the LO that I thought I might want to add and then saved it that way. I figured I can always just hide the layers and then tweak them one at a time next time I work on that page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicole_j Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Good idea Amy...I think that is the only way so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvich Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Though I have now switched over to organizing my digital scrapping stuff with ACDSee, when I used Photoshop Album (the precursor of the Organizer in Photoshop Elements) I would use the Collections tab all the time to organize for future layouts. Just like paper scrappers sometimes gather all their papers, embellishments, pictures, etc. into a special page protector/envelope in preparation for a crop, I would create a new layout collection for upcoming layouts I wanted to create. I would include the pics, papers/kits, embellishments, etc. that I wanted to use and they would be safe in the collection for when I wanted to use them. Try it, it works great!

Meisie Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I'm also just dragging all into the LO for later use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-C Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I do like Amy does. On a layout I'm creating, I add the extra layers (paper, etc) and try them out by turning them on and off. I don't delete them until I know for certain I don't want them. I think it's a great idea to create a LO Collection for an upcoming theme or special LO. So many times I have something that is perfect only to forget what and where it was when I get around to needing it. A Collection would save a lot of time even though I have things pretty well sorted in the Organizer. Thanks for the inspiration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
