Hi, I have received some very helpful advice on scanners in another forum, and would now like to ask a question about software:

I currently use software that came with a HP camera (HP Photosmart Essentials) to catalogue and tag (with subject name and date) my images on the PC, and have done so since about 2007 even though I have since upgraded to a Panasonic camera.

When downloading the images from my camera they also appear in My Pictures.

Although a novice, I do appreciate that any software that comes bundled with a camera is going to be fairly basic, and would now like to consider something like Photoshop Elements 8.

My question is: If I were to purchase and install Photoshop Elements 8, can I then transfer across, all of the images and information that I have in HP Photosmart Essentials/My pictures, or do I have to start cataloguing and tagging all over again ?
 
I know nothing of HPPE, but you can import images to the PSE Organiser from My Pictures or you can choose to ignore the Organiser in PSE and just use the Editor then put the editted image back into My Pictures.
 
Thank you for the advice. Only one more problem to overcome = I just discovered that our existing PC does not have enough memory to cope with PSE8 so will wait for the January sales in the hope of negotiating on a PC !

I have PSE7 and 1Gb of RAM is recommended.

It is easy enough to add more memory to your PC.

Go to http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/drammemory.aspx

Let them scan your pc and they'll provide options and supply if you wish.
