How. Do I change to a new folder, keeping my sub folders the same so that I can still upload. I am changing the user "my pictures" is under?

Thank

I am sorry. I was away.

I have set up my albums under Users\a\Pictures. All albums were imported under the path. They are them uploaded to Photoshop Express from that location.

I want to delete that user so would like to change the location from which Elements gets the photos to Users\b\Pictures. All albums/sub folders under that path remain the same. (I copied them from one user's My Pictures to the other user's My Pictures.)

Changing the saved pictures file location in preferences diudn't seem to do it.

Eleemnts shows me all the sub folders but tells me no pictures have been imported.

I have 13,000 pictures so want to change the location witrhout doping the import of all 13,000 again.

Somewhere, Elements must know the path it imported from, so I assume I want to change that.

And, I assume I need to make the same change in Photoshop Express in the clooud so that pictures continue to by synched without a new set of reconciliations. (Let's leave Revel on the side for now.)

Does that additional detail help? (I am back now so can respond more easily.)

:-) Thanks!
