Import media from files and folders
You can import photos and videos from your computer, CD/DVD, removable drive, or network places into Elements
Organizer to manage them in various ways. For example, you can create albums with the photos or tag the people in
the photos.
When you import a media file, Elements Organizer creates a link to the media file in a catalog. It does not copy or move
the original image unless you specify it. You can import media files from a CD, DVD, or device such as a scanner,
camera, card reader, or phone. By default, Elements Organizer first copies the media file into a folder on your hard disk
and then creates a link to that copy.
Note: If you delete the original file from your hard disk, you cannot edit it, even though its thumbnail remains in a catalog.
