# Importing and organizing photos

When you start Photoshop Elements, it displays a Welcome screen that provides a starting point for whatever you want to do. You can start from scratch, browse for files with Adobe Bridge, or open files from a camera or a scanner.

With Photoshop Elements, you can import photos from a card reader or from a folder on a hard disk. To speed import, you can set the program to start automatically when you attach your camera to your computer.

Use Adobe Bridge to manage photo files.

When working in Photoshop Elements, use Adobe Bridge to find and manage your photos and Adobe PDF documents, even if they’re stored in different locations. Adobe Bridge automatically organizes photos by date as it downloads, and you can further sort and categorize photos by adding star ratings, by stacking photos, and by assigning keyword tags to help you identify people, places, and events. You can quickly view every photo you’ve ever taken of your dog, for example, by clicking on your dog’s keyword tag. You can also search for images based on date range, caption, filename, media type, and more.
