Managing catalogs

The Catalog Manager (Organizer>File>Manage Catalogs) is used for several tasks. These include the following:

Create new catalogs.
Rename existing catalogs.
Convert a previous, older version of an Elements catalog to the new version of the software.
Optimize a catalog—this helps reduce its size, making it more efficient.

While a software-driven data backup is a good procedure to set up for all users, it might not back up your Photoshop Elements catalog. And even if it did, it wouldn't be in a format that Elements can recognize, should you need to restore it after a software mishap.

Back up the catalog: It's important to ensure that your backed-up catalog is saved to a location different from where the default catalog is stored. For most, this means saving it to a different drive—in the screenshot above, there are five different drives available for backup.
