You can bring photos into the Organizer from
a hard disk or optical disc drive in your computer, either by dragging
them from Windows Explorer into the Organizer Photo Browser, by
browsing to them using the File >

Get
Photos And Videos >

From
Files And Folders command, by searching your computer using the

By
Searching command, or by selecting the Add Unmanaged Files To Catalog
option available in the Folder Location view of the Photo Browser.
Note: After
dragging photos from Windows Explorer into the Photo Browser, Windows
Explorer may become unresponsive until the photos have been imported. You
may, however, toggle to any Photoshop Elements dialog box that opens
during the import by pressing Alt-Tab, or by clicking the Organizer
icon in the Windows taskbar.
