Can I access the same library from 2 computers?

Apr 17, 2012 7:12 AM

I just purchased and installed Photoshop Elements 10 on my main computer at home.  Awesome tool!

 

I just loaded up over 25,000 pictures taken over the last 12 years and am slowly going through the task of tagging them.  My question is as follows:

 

If install on a second computer, how do I access the library from the main computer?  I am thinking that I can tag come pics during my lunch hour and get through this faster at the office but how do I move the library from one computer to the next? 

 

I don't think the library is actually "moveable".  Does it not just sort what is already on my main computer? 

 

All suggestions welcome!

    If your photos and catalog file are on an external HD, then you would have to bring the external HD wherever you want and PSE will work, provided that the drive letters are the same on both computers. (Example, if the external HD is E:\ on your home computer, it would have to be E:\ on the other computer).

     

    You can move the catalog file and everything else in that folder via Windows. If you need to move the photos, this must be done in PSE (Folder Location View).
