Re: [photoshop-beginners] Delete XMP Files?

It's a Yahoo group: Learning PS for all.  It escaped me that is wasn't Elements (all I knew of Adobe then), but when I joined it and found out it was for CS4&5 I thought I'd get out, but everyone there encouraged me to stay and take the lessons, so I did and am glad.  You do the lessons, then send them to your moderator for approval and are then sent the next one.  The classes so far have been graphic oriented, not much photo edit oriented.  There's another Yahoo group that graduates are in, but just now it's too busy for me and I don't know enough to know what they are talking about.  Try them out if you want,    Oh, it's free!  There's another class I'm considering when they offer CS5 again - LVS Online.  I think it's $25.00 or $35.00.   Don't know lynda.com's cost.  How did you learn CS5 or whatever edit program you have?  Not trial & error I hope.        Trish

Where is this class you are taking.  This seems odd.  Bridge is typically the starting point because it is the file manager.  Lynda.com has Photoshop classes and they are very easy to follow.

Clay, thanx for the encouragement.  We'll get to bridge soon I hope.  The class has 3 levels & 75 lessons.  I'm only on lesson 12, but enjoy the difference from Elements (graphics mainly).  Do you know of other on-line classes for CS5?     Trish

If you don't use the program as you are learning you will probably continue to revert to what you 'know' which is Elements or something else.  While there are a number of things Bridge can do it's basic operation is fairly straight forward.  If you wait until you 'know' Photoshop CS5 you may never get started.  I have used Photoshop CS series since CS4 and I learn something new at least once a week. 

 

How is it that you are 'learning' Photoshop CS5?  I'm not picking on you I'm just curious.  Most classes I have seen on Photoshop (and books) start with Bridge.  Bridge is a very versatile program.

Clay, have alot of learning to do B4 trying either.  CS5 & Lightroom were highly recommended to me, but settled on CS5.  Elements was a beginner for me, but organizer is slow so deleted most files from it to try to speed it up.  Used 6 for old stuff and 8 for newer, but that didn't speed things up much.  WLPG is much faster deleteing, but editing is much more limited.  Learning CS5 is slow as doing it online and basically I'm a dummy (short-term memory loss).

The CAXMP folder is something Photoshop Elements uses as part of its organizer, face recognition and such.  CS5 doesn't create a CAXMP folder (I have used CS4, CS5 and now CS6 and don't have such a folder).  You may find Bridge a bit faster than trying to work in Photoshop elements organizer.  Bridge is a file manager and doesn't want to do all the stuff Elements organizer wants to do.  Lightroom is fast once it imports all the photos, after that any time you import (download from your memory card) I remembers a lot of info.  Give Bridge a try.

Keith, was definately t/b considered.  Others have mentioned editing programs, I am using Adobe Elements 6&8.  But do have Photoshop CS5 installed (only learning it so far) - the CAXMP file folder seems to have arrived around time I installed CS5.  Coincidental?

I'm not a gamer either, but it wouldn't surprise me if one used 15k
files. It was a possibility to consider, that's all.

If the file exists still and you did some processing the only thing that is lost is the changes/edits/metadata to the original. The file will not be damaged. http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/ . If it were me I would just empty the recycle bin. If you 'needed' the xmp files in the recycle bin you would have known it by now.
