Adobe Photoshop 3.2

Question

Hi, I am having the same problem as other people on here about getting pictures out of the Adobe 3.2 after the sunscription ran out. Of course I can't register and unlock it because it is no longer supported. I tried this a couple of years ago and tech support would not help so gave up. This time the Adobe tech told me to go to this forum. It seems like someone at Adobe Tech line would be able to help you instead of telling you to go to this forum. Is the page I am looking at the album? I went under My Pictures and found a Adobe file and then a Digital Camera file and deleted the pictures on there some of which were on the 3.2 page. After reading other forums, I still don't understand how to get to these pictures. I have tried the Search using the picture id and it found just that pic. I know a good bit about using a computer, but there is still a lot I don't know or understand. Any help that can be given in as simple terms as possible would really help. I really want to look at the pics as they were taken in 2003, but will probably delete most of them. Right now am downloading pics from my cell phone which I think is being done by Adobe Photoshop and then putting them in My Documents. I did notice that if I double click on C Drive, then double click on Program Files, then click on Adobe, then double click on Photoshop Album Starter Edition, then double click on 3.2, then double click on Apps, all kind of files, folders or apps whatever they are are there. Some of the pics may have loaded with the software that came with an HP camera I had. I don't know it has been so long. I have been trying some of the things on the forum and not having any luck. I can get some, but not all of the pics.

Answer 1

Yes, that helps. I have looked in those folders and found some of them. 
However, I don't know exactly what you mean by using Windows Explorer  to find
the files. I think that is what I did. However, if you could explain I 
would know for sure.
Thanks,
Darrell

Hi  DCrosen,
The way you phrased the problem; "can't get photos 'out'  of 3.2', reveals
a common misconception about Album and your photos. I just  thought of an
analogy that might help.
If your in the restaurant  and you look at a picture menu, that's Photoshop
Album. When you order the  food, the waiter goes back and gets your meal
from the kitchen; the kitchen is  the folder where your pictures are actually
stored.
The menu is  not a replacement for the kitchen; it's simply a
representation of the  kitchen. If the menus all burned up some day (unfortunately, as
this is  basically what happened with the Starter Edition app), your food
doesn't go  away, just the pictures of the food.
One of the benefits, yet  drawbacks, of Starter Edition is that is easily
masked where the kitchen was;  people who had gotten used to using Starter
Edition to access their photos  were unaware of the actual location of the
files, so that when the app stopped  working, many were asking the very same
question you ask, which is 'how do I  get my photos now?".
The answer is that you will have to resort  to the 'normal' routine of
dredging through the file system using Windows  Explorer to locate the files;
all we can do is guess where you may have stored  those files; they could be
in your My Pictures folder; they might even be in  an Adobe Digital Camera
folder in your My Pictures folder, if you used the  downloader to copy files
to your computer.
The files and folders  in your Program Files folder are where the program
itself is stored, not the  images which would have been downloaded by the
program; those generally go  into your My Pictures folder (but you could have
changed the default to go  anywhere).
Does any of this help explain where the files might  be?
