Initially, the catalog keeps track…of standard data such as the file name…and the location of the image or photo.…And even things like the camera,…and the camera model that was used to take the picture.…But as you continue working…in Adobe Elements Organizer 2018…and begin adding additional metadata,…things like keywords, captions, and other information…are also recorded in the catalog.…The catalog stores a lot…of important data about your images,…
