Automatically Search For And Reconnect Missing Files
Searches for missing, disconnected files. Select this option to
avoid getting messages about disconnected files.
Enable Multisession Burning To CD/DVD (Windows only)
Allows burning (copying) files onto a disc multiple times,
enabling you to use as much free space on the disc as possible. Normally, you can only burn a CD or DVD one time,
and any unused space is lost.
Rotate JPEGs Using Orientation Metadata/Rotate TIFFs Using Orientation Metadata
When these options are selected,
the orientation metadata of the image is updated to rotate the image. The image data is untouched; the rotation is
specified by just changing the metadata. Rotating an image using its metadata is a faster process than rotating the
image itself.
Not all applications recognize orientation metadata. If you plan to import your images into such applications, leave
these options deselected.
Folders For Saved Files
Specifies the default folder location where projects and other saved files are stored. To change
the location, click Browse and navigate to a new location.
Preview File Size
Specifies the size of preview files used by the Elements
Organizer when storing media files offline.
If you have changed the settings and are having trouble importing your media files, try clicking the Restore Default
Settings button in the Preferences dialog box to restore the original preferences.

Import tags attached to media files
When you receive media files that contain keyword tags or keyword metadata, you can import them with the media
file. You can decide whether to keep the attached keyword tag, rename the keyword tag, or map it to one of your own
keyword tags. If you import a new keyword tag, it appears in your Keyword Tags panel, and you can use it to tag other
media files.
An imported tag appears in the Keyword Tags panel.
1 Ensure that the camera or card reader is connected to your computer, or the media files you want to import are
copied to your computer.
