Adobe Album Import (bad)

I currently use Adobe Album 2 to manage my photography collection. I really like it, it's fast, easy to organize and allow sme to set up tagging so it's to find and export images. perfect. Except that Adobe has dropped the product.
Why? If anything strip out all the features from Album except the photo management! That's all peopel really want. Stop adding features and just create an organizer.
Is Lightroom supposed to be the professional photo management tool for Adobe? All I want is a good and fast tool to manage my library. I don't care about editing my family photos and most of the other features I see in there. That's why I have photoshop. I ONLY want good photo management with tagging ability. Speed is important.
I guess if Lightroom is all Adobe has to offer then I'll go with it. I tried importing my Adobe Album collection into Lightroom but it only partially worked. All the keyword tags came over, but most of the tags didn't have any images under them. Only a small percentage of photos actually came over linked correctly.
I'm certainly not going to switch programs if I can't import my Adobe Album collection. What's up??? You'd think Adobe would have an easy migration to the new software?

If Album works for you and you want to upgrade, the Album upgrade path is actually Photoshop Elements. After Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 and the Starter Album 3.0, Adobe incorporated it into the Photoshop Elements software as the Photoshop Elements Organizer. It will import your Photoshop Album 2.0 catalog with no problem and give added support for new RAW images with the updated Adobe Camera RAW. Lightroom is and never was meant to be an upgrade path for Album. It is a completely new product for a completely different type of use and user.
(By the way, I do agree with you that Lightroom, if it was going to include an "Import from Elements" option should have made it completely compatible . . . I've spent about 5-7 hours "fixing" my imported catalog and still have some problems that I am currently living with at the moment).

Aperture import ing Photos from adobe album

How can I import all my photos (& related database) from Adobe Album keeping all tags ?
Having Adobe Album 11 (Adobe Photoshop & Premiere Elements 11), & latest version of Aperture & Mac OS X

You can import photos to Aperture but there's no way to import an Adobe database.
To get the photos is a two step process
1. Export form the adobe app while writing all the keywords and metadata to the exported files. For details on that you'll need to see the Help on that app.
2. Import to Aperture. If the metadata is correctly written to the Exif and IPTC Aperture will get it all.

Import from Adobe Album 1.0?

Is there a way to import Adobe Album 1.0 photos and metadata into Photoshop Elements 12? I believe Album is the precursor to Elements.
Thanks

See several 4/20 posts under "Tags in Adobe Album?"

Add Import of Adobe Album tags to Bridge

I have tagged all my photos (12000 +) with Adobe Album 2.0. I have now installed CS2 and Bridge to find that I cannot migrate these tags to Bridge. Is there a feature I have missed?

Thanks
I followed your advice and got the trial version of Elements 5 and this did the trick. All my tags are now embedded in the metadata.
So if Adobe can do this in Elements why can't they provide the same functyion in Bridge !!.
I now wonder if I should be using Bridge - it is not as user friendly as Album for locating photos. Should I consider iView Media Pro or similar?

Adobe Album versus iphoto organizing

I may be crazy, but I cannot figure this out...I have been using Photoshop Album on my PC. In Album, you can view/sort your photos by the folder they are in - meaning, when I uploaded my images to my PC using my Canon camera software, it put the images into folders based on the date the images were taken. So even if I took only one image on one day, that image would be in a seperate folder in "My Documents" and I could see that folder and that image on the Adobe Album viewer.
With iphoto, when I upload my images using my CF card, the images get put into an iphoto roll which is dated the date I uploaded the photos. So even if I have photos taken on from the 1st to the 12th, and upload them on the 14th, all the images are put in a roll titled "14th".
Is there a way to view my images based on the date I took those images - seperated by "folders" - i.e. not all batched together in the library view? Can I view my photos like they are sorted in the Finder - if you look in Pictures-iphoto library-2006-01...the folders listed are by the day the images were taken. Can I get this type of view in iphoto?? Am I making myself clear here??
Thanks!
iMac G5 (iSight) Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Lightroom has no awareness of the existence of iPhoto. There is no way that it can recognise the iPhoto Library or any of the work you have done in it - albums, keywords etc. To move files or photos between the two you will need to export from one and import to the other.
Aperture recognises the iPhoto Library and there is a command there to facilitate migration from iPhoto to Aperture. This process captures your Events, Albums, keywords and so forth.
Also, with the Aperture -> Show iPhoto Library command you can import individual photos over to Aperture.
From iPhoto the Show Aperture Library command means you can access the Previews in your Aperture Library.
At heart, these three applications do the same job. Aperture and Lightroom are firmly focussed on the Pro user shooting high volumes of RAW. They both offer distinct advantages over iPhoto in processing RAW, no matter what the volume.
What iPhoto can offer both of these are - very simple books, calendars and so on and much better slideshows options.

Adobe Album Starter

Adobe Album Starter has been dicontinued and I still have photos stored in it that I can not get. Therefore, I am trying to find out how I can get those pictures. I do not have an unlock code.
Please help

Hi: the Adobe Photoshop Album Forum is over here: http://forums.adobe.com/community/ps_album_starter
Please repost your question over there.

HT5129 what if i don't want the album imported to my iPhoto? what do I need to do?

what if i don't want the album imported to my iPhoto? what do I need to do? I get the same message every time I open iPhoto. tried to download for 3 hours and not much happened. all albums are on my iPhoto already so I don't want to download again.

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the MobileMe account. That should stop those messages. If they come up just click on the More Information buttion. That will circumvent the download and take you to an Apple website that you an close and ignore.
Also log out of MoblleMe in the System/MobileMe preference pane.

What is equiv to Adobe Bridge Import in iPhoto

I have migrated all my photos (over 20,000) from PC to Mac and have taken the plunge. I used to use Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 in Windows and used the Organizer to import my media cards. When I did that, it would layout the pictures in a directory called "2009 05 30" for the photos taken today, for example. I would then tag then in Adobe for later searches. I would also use Picasa for a simple method of access and organization.
In addition, I would make a DVD disk of all the images for a time period and store that offsite. That disk contains the originals of my photos - I would manually fill up the DVD and write the time range and photo number range on each one.
So, now my questions.
1. How can I import photos to a similar directory structure instead of into the central iPhoto library?
2. If I cannot import like that, how can I easily burn a DVD of all images imported since a certain date, or image number.
3. Or should I use the Canon EOS Utility to import the card to a directory structure, then import from disk in iPhoto.
I know the "best practice" in this forum is to let iPhoto manage the entire library, but then my library would be tens of gigabytes in size and would not be easy to backup to to a single medium. (Unless I back up to another hard drive and save that offsite).
Curious what others do. I am playing with Aperture, Lightroom and will also try Elements 6.0 for Mac and see what meets my needs.
Thank you.
Jeff

1. How can I import photos to a similar directory structure instead of into the central iPhoto library?
Use Image Capture - or any other app you prefer - to move the files from your Camera card to your preferred Location. Then run a Referenced Library: Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
As you have read we strongly recommend against this method - especially for inexperienced users:
1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
2. If I cannot import like that, how can I easily burn a DVD of all images imported since a certain date, or image number.
Easy: Select the Event/Album or files that you wish to back up: then File -> Export, Kind: Original. Export to a folder on the desktop and burn that.
Backing up to another HD is actually the best way to go. DVD's rot over time. HD's are inexpensive, dynamic and very easy to use.
My back up strategy:
My Library lives on my iMac.
It’s Backed up to two external hard disks every day. These disks are permanently attached to the iMac. These back ups run automatically. One is done by Time Machine, one is a bootable back up done by SuperDuper
It’s also backed up to a portable hard disk when ever new photos are added. This hard disk lives in my car. For security, this disk is password protected. For this job I use DejaVu because it makes a simple back up that is clear and can be tested easily without doing an full restore.
I have a second off-site back up at a relative’s house across town. That’s updated every 3 or 4 months.
My Photos are backed up online. Personally I use SmugMug but there are many options including flickr. However, check the terms of your account carefully. While most sites have free uploading, you will often find that these uploads are limited in terms of the file size, or the bandwidth you can use per month. For access that allows you to upload full size pics with no restrictions you will need to pay.
Every couple of months I test the back ups to make sure they are working correctly. It’s very easy to mis-configure a back up application, and the only way to protect against that is to do a restore.
Aperture and Lightroom are much more powerful apps that iPhoto - and a touch more expensive too . Elements has no organising capability on the Mac. For that it comes with Bridge. Some people like Bridge. Never met one, but some do.

This question involves Adobe Album Starter and Elements 8

I have recently purchased Elements 8 and have started to transfer photos from Album Starter to Elements 8.
I was successful with some but there are a great many left with the little red icon in the middle bottom of them.
I am unable to do anything with them: copy, print, duplicate or anything. The message reads that it is not able to connect.
How am I going to get my pictures released from Album Starter. This has been an on going problem with Adobe. Please, please help
me retrieve my photos otherwise I will have to discontinue use of Elements 8 and ask for a refund. These photos are important to
me. Erma Platter

Just as I suspected.
To maybe help clarify, your photos are not "in" Starter Edition", so there is no way to "get them out of there".
Think of it this way:
Imagine your photos are books in a library. The books themselves are actually located on the shelves in the library. But, there's a section of the library with the Index Cards. One index card for every book, with the index cards all nicely organized in drawers so you can find the book your looking for without wandering around the whole library. Each index card has a description of the book, a picture of the book, and most importantly, information as to where the book is stored on the shelves so you can go find it.
So, the books are not "in" the Index Card Drawers.
Now, imagine that after all the index cards had been created, someone goes around the library and moves the books. Maybe, even throws some of them away.
Then, you go to the Index Drawer, find the "book" you are looking for, see that it is located on shelf G54-102, walk over to shelf G54-102, but the book isn't there, because someone moved it without telling the person who maintains the Index Cards.
That book is Disconnected from the Index Card.
Now, let's bring that analogy back to Starter Edition (and Elements)
The Books are your photos
The Shelves are your Hard Disk
The Index Card Drawer is Starter Edition (or Elements)
The Index Cards are the presentation of your photos in Starter Edition (or Elements)
So, just as the Books are not in the Index Card Drawers, your Photos are not in Starter Edition.
What is "in" Starter Edition is simply information about your photo. A small thumbnail (which is what you see in Starter Edition) and most importantly, a reference to where on your hard drive the photo is actually stored.
When you try and do anything with your photo that requires the origional file, Starter Edition goes to fetch the origional file from your hard drive to work with it. If the file is no longer where Starter Edition thinks it is, then Starter Edition tells you it is Disconnected.
At this point you need to tell Starter Edition where the photo was moved to. That's what the Reconnect process is all about. In order to reconnect your photo, you need to know where it was moved. Hopefully, it was simply moved to a different folder, and not deleted.
This Disconnected situation is typically caused by folks using Windows to re-arrainge their hard drive folders and their pictures AFTER having "imported" them into Starter Edition.
If your photos were moved in Windows, you can tell Starter Edition where they were moved to using Reconnect.
If your photos were deleted in Windows, unfortionatalty, they are gone, unless they still happen to be in your Windows Trash.
So.... what to do?
I'd use Starter Edition (or Elements) to get the file name of one of the Disconnected files.
Then, I'd use Windows Search to search for that file name.
Hopefully Windows Search will find your photos, safely stored in some other spot on your hard drive.
