Thanks for the reply.
Does it also include the objects included in a Photoshop Organizer Slideshow or does it stop with the Slideshow file?
Short answer: Copied Folder includes in this case copy of project.prel plus copies of individual photos that went into Elements Organizer's "Slideshow Project"
The individual photos are in the Copied Folder and not in a folder in the Copied Folder.
Longer answer.
If you use the Copy option of the Premiere Elements Project Archiver, you save a folder named "Copied Name of Project". This folder typically contains all the media in Project Assets (even those not taken to the Timeline). Now to your question specific to archiving the Premiere Elements project that has received the Elements Organizer Slideshow Project (.psess).
When you use the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor Output Option = Edit with Premiere Elements Editor, that sends a folder containing the Slideshow Project's individual media and your slideshow as a video .psess file to Premiere Elements Project Assets. And, it also automatically places a copy of the .psess on the Timeline. You can leave the .psess as is or break it apart for further significant edits. (See Premiere Elements Break Apart Elements Organizer Slideshow command accessed by right clicking the .psess on the Timeline and selecting that command in the pop up menu. Assuming that you leave the .psess as is and archive this project.
Interesting results when you go to archive (Copy option) this project...the Copied Folder includes a copy of the Premiere Elements project file (project.prel) and copies of the individual media of the project.prel but it does not display a copy of the ..psess file (video version of slideshow that was in Project Assets and which was automatically placed on the Timeline from the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor's Edit with Premiere Elements Editor command).
But, when you open the project.prel in the Copied Folder as described in the answer to the next question, you find Project Assets containing the Elements Organizer's sendings of what you saw there for the archiving
- Slideshow Project's individual media in a Folder
- Video (.psess) representing the slideshow
and the Timeline containing the .psess version of the slideshow.
Can one open the Archive and preform edit and share functions just like what one would do with the project file?
After the archiving of the project, you right click the project.prel in the Copied Folder and select Open With from the drop down menu, followed by Adobe Premiere Elements 12. When the project opens, it will be tracing back to the source media in the Copied Folder.
All sorts of variations on the details as one evolves into another.
