PhotoShop Album SE 3.0

Hi,
I have had to uninstall this product for two reasons. If anyone can sort them out I would be grateful.
1. It does not work correctly with multiple users in XP Home Edition - i.e. catalogues are built from other users folders, even after each users preferences have been set, and then:
2. it finally refused to open any catalog or any other folder with the message
"The ODBC data source retuned the following error
(internal error: data not found)
This problem was created by PS Album SE 3.0 as it was possible to do that, albeit with the wrong user folder's etc for a couple of hours before it screwed up.
Pity, as I thouhght it might be useful.
Bobby.

I think Photoshop Album SE 3.0 supports only one catalog. It is the same catalog for every user. <br /><br />Please remove the preference file psa.prf from "C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Album\3.0" for every user and then reinstall Photoshop Album SE 3.0. <br /><br />Hope this helps.

  • A need to get photos of my baby from Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 but I don't have a code so I cannot access in it. Somebody can help me, please?

    Two days ago I introduced photos of my baby into my PC and automatically went into the programm Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2. Then they were deleted of my photo camera. Then I wanted to access to the photos in the Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 but I read that since the end of Juny we need a decodification code and that now it is not availabel. So I don't have this code and I need to access to the photos. Please, somebody can help me?. Thank you.

    Thank you for your help, Gunjan, but I have already tried to contact adobe tech support and I cannot get a code still now. I just find fixed issues where there is not shown my problem and I cannot find the way to write my question about my need of a code for Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2. Could you or somebody tell me the way to get the code through adobe.
    Thank you

  • Thumbnails in Photoshop Album SE & disconnected files

    I need to know what I did wrong to avoid this from happening again AND I'm hoping there's a solution out there for me.
    (Please note, I am DESPERATE and am trying to salvage deleted photos.)
    Here's what happened: Part I: Turning thumbnails into working images.
    1. I connect a digital camera card reader to my computer to "download" photos using Adobe Photoshop Album SE.
    2. This has always worked fine, and then I modify the pics, which creates a file that has the original file name with the word "edited" in it.
    3. Recently, I went through the same process of connecting my card reader via USB, and "downloading" all my files into Photoshop Album SE.
    4. As per usual, I choose the download & delete setting.
    5. I decided I would edit some of the photos at a later date.
    6. When I reopened Photoshop Album SE last night, all the pictures I THOUGHT I had downloaded said they were "disconnected" showing a file path to the card reader, drive e. I was totally shocked. The files ALWAYS downloaded to c:/documents and settings/[my user name]/my pictures/adobe
    7. So this time I can see all the thumbnails in the "view all" setting of Adobe Photoshop Album SE, but cannot get to any of the pictures. I get the "disconnected" popup.
    I suspect I am screwed but I'm hoping someone can help me.
    I clearly see all the thumbnails in the "view all". Is there ANY WAY the thumbnail images can be converted to real images? Where are the thumbnails stored that Photoshop can show them and say they need to be reconnected to the source which, in this case, Photoshop DELETED when "downloading"?
    Which brings us to Part II: What the hell happened?
    You'll notice I keep putting "downloading" in quotes. When I say, "Get all pictures" from my card reader, I thought all my pictures were being copied into the album. That's the way it's always worked previously.
    Why didn't it work this last time? Was it a memory issue? Does Photoshop Album SE have a limit on how many photos can be loaded into any one album?
    Is that why it "captured" the images but didn't really download them?
    Any, and I mean, ANY assistance anyone can give me with this would be greatly appreciated. These particular photos I really, really need and staring at those thumbnails, unable to do anything with them is maddening.
    Thanks,
    Deidre

    Hi Zona,
    Do you have "System Restore" set up in Windows? I've actually never used it,
    but it appears it MIGHT be a possibility if you did NOT store the images in
    My Documents or a subfolder of it.
    See the following:
    "System Restore protects your personal files by not restoring any files in
    the My Documents folder. It also does not restore any files that use common
    data file name extensions, such as .doc or .xls. If you're not sure whether
    your personal files use common data file name extensions, and you do not
    want the data files to be affected by System Restore, save them in the My
    Documents folder."
    There are applications that can take previous "HDD images" (residual
    signatures) so that you can possibly recover your images, but you would need
    to take this to a special vendor for this. If the images are precious, this
    might be your best option. Obviously it will cost some money but I know this
    can be done... I just can't advise you on the where's and how's. You would
    need to contact vendors in your location.
    Cheers

  • Ability to use Adobe Photoshop Album tags in CS3 Bridge

    I currently have 15,250 photos and 155 tags entered in Adobe Photoshop album. I would like the ability to convert, import or somehow use these tags in CS3 Bridge without reentering everything. PLEASE!

    I request the answer to the same question.

  • Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0, migrate to iPhoto?

    After 20 years owning PCs, I bought my first Mac. I have about 13,000 photos cataloged in Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to preserve my organization in iPhoto (or even if it's possible).
    Photoshop Album uses an external database that permits hierarchies, like Places - MD_MontgomeryCo - Rockville eg. I probably have 30 or 40 counties, some with as many as 100 locations.
    I don't think keywords are quite the same, although organizing by album might help. I've downloaded Keyword Assistant from a Mr. Ferry iirc, and that makes keywords much more manageable. But I can't imagine tagging to create anything like my hierarchy of places.
    Any thoughts or experience?
    Oh, and how do you change the headings that seem to be automagically applied to each new batch of imported files?
    best, Jon Angel

    I have exactly the same problem - except I haven't got my new MacBook yet
    I have been doing some research, though, and the chances of getting the tagging out of PSA 2.0 seem very small ...
    However, I have found three theoretical possibilities.
    1) I have tried the first steps of this 'solution' without any success, but I will mention it anyway, perhaps you are more lucky: There is a PC based photo cataloging application called IMatch (http://www.photools.com/). For this application someone has created a set of scripts, the first of which is capable of extracting the PSA 2.0 catalog into a plain text file (http://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/flow-catalog-imatch.html). I have been unable to make this work, but if you succeed, a second script (mentioned on the above website) should be able to import the tags into IMatch. As I understand, IMatch is capable of embedding the tags as IPTC keywords in the image files. I guess you could use a free trial version of IMatch for this operation, and if you should get this far, it should be possible to import the IPTC keywords info into iPhoto with this script (http://scriptbuilders.net/files/iphotoiptckeywordimportexportutilities1.0.1.html). Well, this was all theory, but maybe it could be useful ...
    2) A second possibility is, that PSA 2.0 stores its caption in the EXIF Description field. Assuming you don't use the caption in PSA 2.0, you could go through your catalog one tag after another and write each tag into the captions of all the images, it is attached to. If it's possible to search in the EXIF Description feld in iPhoto, you could reverse the process when you have imported the images into iPhoto.
    3) Newer versions of PSA (called Photoshop Elements) exist for the Mac. I guess they must be able to import from older versions of PSA, but I don't know.
    I don't know if this is of any use, but I just wanted to share my own thougts of this process.

  • How do I get my videos to all work correctly in Photoshop Album Starter Edition Ver. 3.0?

    I have been using version 3.0 for the last 3 years and had no problems with any of my videos playing once they were downloaded from my mobile phone or camera to version 3.0 until August 2007 but now a lot of them say 'The selected file cannot be played'.  All the files that don't work are '.AVI' files and the only thing I can see they have in common is that in the file name it says -1x-1 next to the file size and length of the clip, whereas the working files have full numbers i.e. 640*480.  I still have a couple of files downloaded after August 2007 that do play but not many.  Is there any way I can change the settings or recover these files so they will actually play?

    It seems to me that these problematic files may not be .avi files, or are corrupted; it doesn't seem likley that it's a setting in Photoshop Album Starter Edition.
    Do any of those files play in Windows Media player? Another possibility could be that these files are sidecar files to your video files; are there similarly-named video files that work fine? If so, then I would suspect that these .avi files are, again, not .avi files, and could be simply text info that goes along with  your .avi files, and could be ignored (removed from the catalog).

  • Can't open a PDF file with acrobat photoshop album starter 3.0

    scanned pictures and saved them as a PDF file in another computer. I think the version was 6 (but not sure). I downloaded acrobat reader (version + acrobat Photoshop to my computer.
    now I'm trying to open the files in order to make some changes in the photos (cut them and so on), but I cant open them. can open them with the acrobat reader. but not with adobe Photoshop album started 3.0. I am getting a massage saying "the PDF file foes not contain any photos" and it shows the location of the file. the file definitely contains photos. what do I need to do?
    thanks for the help, nilli

    Is it Photoshop Starter Edition that is giving your the No Photos message or is it Reader?
    If the PDF has photos in it, and you open it with Reader, you should see a toolbar called Picture Tasks. Picture Tasks will let you extract the photos.

  • Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer catalog conversion

    I'm having trouble converting Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 catalog to Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Organizer.  I get a Conversion Failed error which tells me to repair with the program that created it.  I have tried several things including deleting all .avi files from the catalog, deleting references to missing files and backing up then trying to convert from an external HD.  I'm running Vista Home Premium on a HP laptop.  The Organizer optimize and repair don't seem to help in this case.
    Does anyone have any history with this or advice?

    Please refer to following KB article which deals with catalog conversion failures:-

  • Convert Photoshop Album to PSE8

    I have been using Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 to organise my photos and recently bought PSE8.  To transfer all my photos into PSE8 Organiser I think I should use the Convert option.  (File > Catalog > Convert)
    When I do and select Album as the place to convert from it displays the message:  "The conversion operation failed.  Try repairing the catalog with the software that created it and retry conversion".  Album doesn't have a repair option, only a "Reconnect Missing Files", which says "No files to reconnect".
    Can anyone tell me how to get my photos (2k+) into my PSE8 catalog with associated tags etc?  I am in UK and have a very slow broadband service so I dont think sharing using Photoshop.com is possible / viable.
    Any / all suggestions gratefully received.

  • Adobe Photoshop Album v.2 - Can I restore from thumbnails only?

    I am a complete IT donut.  I do not know the terminology and I'm not even sure I am on the right thread!!!!!.  But here goes if anyone thinks they can help.
    I have Adobe Photoshop Album v2.0 that I have been keeping photographs on.  Someone who shall remain nameless deleted a file which has meant that some of the older photos have lost what can only be described as the 'back up' to the photo - if that makes sense.  We can see it as a thumnail (with a small legend depicting that it is "broken") but when we double click on it the computer browses for a file that it cannot find - obviously.
    Is it possible to restore the photo using just the information that the computer has kept in order to generate the thumbnail?  There is no way we can restore the information that was lost as its years ago, but just wondered if anyone knew of a way to do this.
    I know this is probably a lost cause, but thanks for your time anyway.

    All that is stored in the Photoshop Album catalog file is a small thumbnail, which is better than nothing,I suppose. But we don't have any tools that would allow you to harvest even the thumbnails out of the catalog file. The catalog file is an MS Access database; if you could find a tool to crack open and rip out the resources, then you would have what you want, but I wouldn't be able to tell you step 1 on how to do that; just that it should be theoretically possible.
    Good Luck!

  • Can I use tags I created in SE if I upgrade to Photoshop Album V2?

  • Photoshop Album Starter edition 3.2 abnormal program termination

    I have just logged onto version 3.0 and I was offered an upgrade to 3.2 via the message centre. I followed all instructions and downloaded the files.
    When I now go to open the Album an error message comes up headed:
    Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library.
    In the window centre the message reads:
    Program: ... Starter Edition\3.2\Apps\Photoshop Album Starter Edition.exe
    abnormal program termination
    (Press retry to debug the application)
    When I press retry the program simply shuts down.
    Any thoughts?

    Ian,
    Try uninstalling and reinstalling it. Something obviously went wrong
    with the upgrade.

  • Photoshop Album to iPhoto

    Hi together,
    I stopped to support Bill G. and moved to Apple a few days ago... I have 2000 photos being digitalized from real photo. They were maintained in Photoshop Album with Tag, Dates, etc.
    A) Is there a possibility to pull this information anyhow? I don't want to update more than 2000 photos by hand; if this is the case, my turn to Mac was probably a mistake!
    B) Furthermore I added information at Windows (as description, etc.) to those files. But it seems, that my Mac is not able to read this information... Is this possible and what I have to do?
    Thanks in advance
    h-a-r-r-y

    Terence, You sound like you may be the best one to ask this question. I find the iPhoto method of tagging the photos very easy to use as in our daily work process there are maybe 20-30 basic variables features of our images and then we can combine a few simple clicks to properly tag each image. I have done this for thousands of our images here at the office ( on my Mac) and the problem I am facing is now that I have done that I am having my employees connect to my iPhoto over our network and they cannot search my photos using the tags, and I am not able to or I have not been able to figure out how to export my images to a main database of images with the tags attached. Do you know of anyway to work around this ? note we are still in 10.4 OS and still using iPhoto 6.0 , would upgrading solve this problem? thanks in advance - Eric

  • Photoshop Album 3.0 SE

    I just got an iPod 60GB and am trying to sync my photos from my PC using iTunes 4.9 and PhotoShop Album 3.0 SE (i.e., the free version).
    According to Apple.com:
    "Note: While Photoshop Album allows you to sync only certain collections, Photoshop Album SE does not allow you to assign collection tags that are required for this to work."
    However, PSA 3SE (contary to Apple's note) DOES, in fact, allow you to assign collection tags to your photos and organize them that way. Notwithstanding, iTunes is STILL not allowing me to sync albums (collections) but only folders. Basically, iTunes is just not recognizing Photoshop Album 3.0 SE and it's "collections" capability.
    Since I categorically REFUSE to spend any more money just to get my iPod to do what it's supposed to do, buying any more software from Adobe (or Apple) is out of the question.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    sure I can sync from a folder... but that's not what was advertised to me. It's a big, big, drag to buy an (expensive) piece of hardware and have it not function appropriately without spending MORE money. And I have no guarantee that it'll work if I buy the paid version anyway. ESPECIALLY when it worked ok with the previous SE version.
    Wouldn't that get your dander up?
    On the bright side... if Apple support wants to GIVE me a powerbook to solve the problem, heck, that's OK by me.

  • Photoshop Album 1.0: How do I reconnect 350 "edited pictures" showing as disconnected files?

    I purchased and downloaded PS Elements 13 64-bit Win7 from the Adobe website to a new Dell Inspirion 64-bit with Win 7 Pro.  I have previously been using a registered copy of Photoshop Album 1.0 and Photoshop Elements 2.0 since 2005.  The most recent use was on a computer running Windows 7 Pro operating system using the virtual XP to run PSE.  That computer was fried by a lightning strike.  However, I retrieved the hard drive in good working order with files intact.  I am currently running the PSE program on an old PC with XP and accessing the picture files (9,600) on the old hard drive attached as an external J: drive.  My goal is to transfer all picture files to the new Dell Inspirion where the new PSE 13 resides.  I couldn’t get the PSE 2.0 program to access the picture files!
    I finally figured out how to use MS Access to change the drive reference to J:/.
    1) there were a number of line items that seemed to be anomalies in the Access table.  Could these be a cause for the following disconnects?
    It seemed that I was about prepared to transition to the new computer and PSE 13, but then after opening PSE 2.0, I found I still had about 350 disconnected files (indicated by a “?” in place of the pic icon).  I then determined that most, if not all of the disconnects, had one thing in common: they were all “edited pictures” and obviously some of my most valued pictures.  I have started to reconnect them one at a time, but it’s very time consuming!
    2) Is there a more efficient way to accomplish these reconnections?
    If I understand it correctly, the PSE acts like a card catalog in the library where it simply references the actual location of the original and/or edited files.
    3) Ultimately, how do I transfer all the reconnected pictures and the associated files and folders to the new computer?
    Thanks for any advice or assistance you can offer!
    <edited by admin to be readable>

    Thanks for your quick response.  I respectfully question with your conclusion that I am in the wrong forum!  Adobe Photoshop Album v 1.0 is the specific program I have used for nine years and that is the program I just reopened to verify it's title and that is the program wherein all the Adobe advice is to reconnect all my files before proceeding to convert to Photoshop Elements 13.  The original box describes it as "The fast and easy way to organize and share your lifetime of photos." My apologies for even mentioning the Photoshop Elements 2.0 (the original box describes it as "image-editing software" which I seldom ever used.  Apparently the functions of PSA & PSE has changed over the many versions, as I first went to the Elements forum and  I can't seem to find anyone in the PSE forum to offer any help.  Is Photoshop forum not the forum that would deal with Photoshop Album? There is a forum I see for Photoshop Album Starter Edition, but a quick review of messages seems to relate to something more recent than my product which is not entitled Starter Edition.  Thanks for any clarification in getting me to the right forum if this is not it!
