Hi I just installed Elements 11 with photoshop and premier.. Before Importing, I would like to know does that make copies of my photos? I do not want to take up more space on my hard drive.. If so can I set it to not make literal copies? Any tips are welcome.. Thanks!

When you import a photo from a card, for example, to your hard drive it copies it to a location on your hard drive and creates a shortcut in the organizer.
If you just open a file already on your hard drive, then it doesn't create a copy of the file, but alters the original when you save it unless you save it to a new file, in which case you will have an additional file.
