Introduction to Backup/Sync in Photoshop Elements

Elements Organizer provides a facility to backup/Sync your media files like images, audio, videos to www.photoshop.com. This feature helps you synchronize all your PSE-Catalog Files/Albums with www.photoshop.com. Elements Organizer has an Engine which regularly checks for new changes in your catalog as well as online account. Whenever a user adds, edits any file/albums it’s automatically backed-up/synchronized to photoshop.com. If you edit a media file on your computer, it’s automatically synchronized with photoshop.com. Likewise if you edit media on Photoshop.com, the corresponding media files on your computer are updated with those edits. The edited version of the media file is downloaded and added in your catalog as a version-set of the original file. Similarly when you add or delete media files on your computer, Elements Organizer backs-up/synchronizes your albums and catalogs on to Photoshop.com server and vice versa. What do you want to know?
