how to transfer files

[Scrapper Viv]

I recently got a new computer and loaded PSE5. How do I get all of the tags and information from the organizer to come to the new computer from the old one?

The easiest thing is to use PSE to create a full backup. This will backup your photos and your catalog to an external hard drive, CD(s) or DVD(s). Then use PSE5 to restore everything on the new computer.

Alternatively, if you are going to move your photos to the exact same directory on the new computer, then then only other thing you need to do is copy the catalog (.psa file) from your existing computer to your new computer.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.
