I know photoshop elements will manage pictures on a network.
But I want to keep my master library on my desktop, and then use a laptop to collect and edit pictures as they come in off the camera.
I would like to develop a system where one copy of elements on the laptop will library only the pictures on that laptop. Then move pictures to the desktop and get them out of the elements library on the laptop.
Then on the desktop, a second copy of elements that will manage the archives on the desktop, and backups made onto CDs. Thus the laptop is my work area, and the desktop becomes my archive area and backup area.
Any advice for getting it done this way or am I on my own?
this is turning out to be a trickier project than I imagined. Though some of it due to Elements being a new learning curve for me.
