Project 23. Archive Your Images to a CD

Never lose your precious images again. Back up your files to a CD in minutes.

Tools: Photoshop Elements

Materials: Your photos Read/write CDs CD burner (either external or internal)

So you've spent weeks organizing your images and days editing them and putting them into cards and other creations. The last thing you want is to lose anything! Or maybe you want to give a set of images to friends and family. This is perfect time to burn a CD. This project introduces you to Photoshop Elements' easy CD-burning feature.

Select your images to back up. This can be done in a few different ways. You can back up your whole Organizer, which could be quite large, or you can select the images you want to back up. To go the latter route, open the Organizer, select the first image you want to back up, and then while holding the Shift key, select the last image you want to back up. This will select all the images in between. To select multiple images that are in random order, use the Ctrl key instead. If you are backing up a collection, double-click the collection to open it and press Ctrl+A to select all of your images.

Ready, set, go! Select File > Burn. Select Copy/Move Files. This will allow you to copy just the selected images to a CD (or even a DVD) for either a personal backup or to share with friend. Click Next to go to the next step.

Set your final option. The step allows you to decide if you want to delete the files from your hard drive once you have burned them onto a CD. Photoshop Elements will create a small thumbnail for preview purposes. If you select the file for editing, you will be asked for the CD. Decide which direction you want go, and click Next.

Burn that disk! In the next dialog you will be asked to insert your disc. You will need to do this before going any further. Insert your disc and wait for Photoshop Elements to determine the write speed time estimates. Once it has determined the speed and time, enter the name for your CD and click Done. That's it!
