How to import photos from camera into different directories, based on shooting-date?

[Grover]

Hi,

I am a completely new user to Photoshop Elements 4.0.
So here's my first question. :)

I own a Canon Digital camera and when I download photos from my camera onto my harddisk using the Canon Zoombrowser etc. software, the photos are saved into different subdirectories by their shooting-date.

Yesterday I tried downloading photos from my camera using PS Elements 4.0 but it was not possible to let it save my photos into different subdirectories by their shooting-date. It was -apparently- only possible to create a subdirectory by importing-date.

How can I download/save my photos using PS Elements 4.0 and make use of subdirectories by shooting date like I was used to with my Canon software?

Thanks for any help for this beginner!

Hello Grover,

Welcome to our corner of cyber world and the family. I do not use PSE4 to down load my photos. I make a new directory in My Docs > My Pictures > and then date it (yyyy mm dd + name) and use Windows own copying "program". I do not use the organiser in PSE4 either. I am not much help am I :o

Hi Grover ...

... and welcome to the forum :)

I don't use Elements to download either I just use a card reader and the software on my computer.

Hopefully one of the other will be along soon and may be able to help with this specifuc issue.

Hi Karen,

When you watch this video (http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/ideagallery/pse5_overview.html) you see that PS Elements 5.0 gives you the option to actually select the shooting-date when downloading images. But how to accomplish this in 4.0? :confused:

Sorry Grover, I have no idea. Like I said, I do not download directly into PSE4.
