How Do I Begin the Organization Process?

You’ll begin by creating tags or keyword tags to organize your digital supplies.  Once this is done, Photoshop Elements Organizer makes it quick and easy to find just the right paper or element to complete your layouts.

You should start off small, with maybe just importing a couple folders at a time to keep the list small so it’s not too overwhelming in the beginning, especially if you already have a large stash of digital kits and/or supplies.

You want to tag your supplies in the way in which you look for them.  For instance, you may:

• look for a particular kit – you would create a tag for each kit by its name
• look for a favorite designer – you would create a tag for each of your
  favorite designers
• look for a certain color – create tags for the colors you use
• or maybe you look for a special element – you might start by creating
  tags alphabetically and for the elements you’d be searching for, for
  example alpha, fasteners, flowers, journaling cards, etc.

Rather than continue listing all of my tags right now, you can download three starter sets of tags, plus my full tag library when you purchase Organizing Your Supplies.

To begin using this set of tags, look underneath the “Keyword Tags” in the right hand column and click on the green plus sign and then choose “From File” and navigate to where you saved the unzipped tags that you downloaded. Select the file and click Open.  They will import into Elements Organizer and a pop-up box will notify you when it has completed.

You will have a nice starter set of tags to begin organizing your supplies and can add tags as you need them based upon your method of filing.

You can have Organizer notify you when there are new supplies or photos to be imported.

If you are running Photoshop Elements Organizer on a PC, you can easily set up a Watch Folder in Elements Organizer that will actually watch for any new digi supplies or photos you have added since last time you opened Organizer.

Please note that this feature isn’t available on a Mac at this point.

So, once you’ve unzipped your new supplies to the folder where you normally store your supplies,

You are ready to set up your “Watch Folder”, and here’s how to do that:

1. In Organizer, go to File>Watch Folders
2. Click on the “Add” button and browse to your main folder where you store your supplies.
3. Check to Watch Folders and their Sub-Folders for New Supplies
4. Check to Automatically Add Files to Elements Organizer

Now each time you open Organizer, it will ask you if you want to import those new files and you can tell it yes.

This is a good opportunity to go ahead and tag and keyword your supplies so you can stay current with your organization and not get behind.
