How can we burn Photographs and other media files on a CD/DVD in PSE9?

Some of the earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop Elements used to have an option to burn a CD/DVD out of selected media files in Elements Organizer and now this option is not available in latest version, which is 9.0. But still there is an option to burn media files to CD/DVD. Here are some simple steps to do this :-

1. Select all the files you want to burn into a CD/DVD


2. Go to File Menu and Select "Copy/Move to removable Drive"

3.  Make sure you don't check the option for moving files. Keep it unchecked and Click Next.

4. Next screen will give some options to select the drive for burning selected files.

5. Just select appropriate options in this dialog and Click DONE.

"Gathering Info" doesn't go away from Welcome Screen of Adobe Photoshop Elements

Many times I have seen people talking about a problem with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 and 9.0, where gathering information progress bar doesn't go away even after multiple hours.

Here is a common workaround that worked for most of the folks I have talked to. Just have a look and give it a try in case you are also facing this issue:-

1. Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer location
2. Double click PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe for launching Elements Organizer
3. Click on "Welcome ..."
4. It will launch a dialog and there is an option for Signing-out.
5. Sign Out and Sign-In again.
6. Now launch Welcome Screen and you gathering info should not be bothering you now !

Never use Export functionlity of Elements organizer if you want to export JPEGs out of RAW files after Edting in Photoshop or Elements Editor !!!

I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements for long time and always shoot in Raw formats... My usual workflow is to download and import through Adobe Photo Downloader... delete unwanted photographs, add appropriate tags to photographs and make sensible albums... Then I star rate photographs and start processing them in Photoshop CS5... when done the final step comes, when I export all the processed photographs from organizer into JPEGs... After exporting JPEGs I used to share these photographs on my blog... Many times my friends complaints about the dullness, but somehow I never thought about it... 

Few months back I came from a night photo-shoot with lot of street lights in the photographs... Processed these photographs in Photoshop and had used sharpness in Adobe Camera Raw dialog to get nice effect of street lights which were shot from a very long distance.... When I exported the JPEGs, all the charm was gone of these photographs and there was no sharpness at all !!! Then I realized the problem with Export option in organizer. Now I save the JPEGs in Photoshop or Editor only and keep them in version-sets...
