I just recently bought a new computer. I had someone else transfer all my files to the new computer. I have been using Elements for years now (different versions). I now have version 12. Along the years, unfortunately, my photos became very mixed up with some on my hard drive and some on 2 external drives. So, I think I have now loaded them all into one folder on my new computer. I would like to import them into Elements. I know I have not done this correctly and at this point, probably have lost all my tags and categories, etc. So, I'm basically resigning myself to starting over and just loading them all in as new. My question is how many photos will Organizer hold? Now, I realize it is not really holding the photo merely a thumbnail that is pointing to the actual photo location. I thought if that was the case, it could hold an endless amount of "thumbnails". My husband says that is incorrect. Right now I have a little over 100,000 photos!! I tried loading them all once but received conflicting messages that they loaded/did not load. They eventually were not there. I'm trying again but am wondering if this is just too many photos. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brenda
