Back ups to external hard drive

Advice please. I have just bought a g-drive hard disc with the intention of transferring most of my photos. I have just started to become more serious about my photography and lots of RAW files are too large for my computer.

I can see how to transfer files to this drive but not how to access them easily, for example if I wanted to put on a slide show or print a number of files from a range of dates. On my computer they are opened and organised by the app (Photoshop). What I'm unclear about is whether I could transfer this application to the hard drive if I create a partition. Is this a daft question? Or is it easy to locate the pictures you want?

All you need to do is put your images in a suitably named folder on any drive. Then when you open Photoshop, you just look for the files (images) that you want using Adobe Bridge. The files will be displayed when you look in the right folder, regardless of where it is (which drive it's on), on the computer or external drive.
Best regards, John

Thanks very much. Have spent a few lost hours experimenting and think I've just about got it. Thanks again
