I have PSE 3. I have spent approximately 2 years scanning, tagging and cataloging about 4,000 photos. Once I had these in organizer, I did a backup saving all photos and tags and sent copies of all of this to three of my relatives to share them and also to make sure someone else could use and preserve all the work I put into it. Most of these photos are very old and took considerable research to figure out who they were and the dates.

As the word gets out in my family, I am again starting to receive more old photos to incorporate into the catalog. I have purposely put any new photos being added into a different folder on my C: drive to keep a separation between those I have already shared with these three relatives so I can also send the new received photos to these people once tagged and cataloged.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have looked all over in the program, read threads, read the book I purchased, and experimented trying to figure a way to "back up" "only the newly tagged and cataloged photos". I know I can just copy the new photos and send them but I also want to share the tagging and cataloging I am doing on these newly added photos. The backup program appears to only back up everything which includes those I have already shared with these people. Is there any way to back up "ONLY" the NEWLY ADDED photos with their tags in these newly created file folders?

Hi... welcome to the forums :)

You can choose which photos to back up by selecting them with Control-click...

Mike; thanks for responding.

You said to right click and select the files to do the backup. When I click on the option to backup (photos files and tags) it doesn't give me the option to select the folders/files I want to back up from. It automatically selects all file folders that organizer is tied to and backs them all up. Are you possibly talking about the regular backup that only backs up the folders/photo files or am i missing something? thanks

Isn't the 'Incremental' backup meant to take care of this? Haven't used it yet myself but usually an incremental backup will/should just backup the newest files and not the whole shebang.
Or does it not work this way in PSE3?
