Adobe Photoshop Album SE 3.2 crashing

Hello everybody.
I'm facing a weird and huge problem: since switching from 3Gs to iPhone 4, when trying to import pictures into PS Album SE 3.2, this software crashes.
After googling a bit, I read about many people facing the same problem. Some of them upgraded to Adobe Photoshop Elements, but still the problem persists.
No real solution has been found, therefore I'm asking here for some help. It doesn't matter to me if I would have to switch to another software, the main goal is to be able to import pictures and still to have a similar way of viewing them as in PS Album or PS Elements.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

If the iPhone gets connected as a USB device, i.e. if it shows as a new drive in "My Computer", Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition must be able to download images from it. If that's not the case, as has been already stated, it would be a good idea to copy the images using windows explorer i.e.
1)Connect the iPhone
2)Go to My Computer
3)Browse through the iPhone(which should be displayed as a separate drive) and locate the images folder.
4)Copy the images that are to be transferred.
5)Paste them to the folder on your drive where you want them to be.
6)Now import these images to Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition.

IPhone crashes Adobe Photoshop Album SE 3.2 on multiple PC's

Whenever I attach my iPhone the Adobe Photo Downloader starts, it see's the pictures and then gives a "Fatal Error" and forces Photoshop Album SE 3.2 to close. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, uninstalled and ran regedit to get rid of any lingering registry entries (I manage a network of 300+ pc's) and reinstalled and then did a couple of fresh installs on some new Dells I'm deploying, it still crashes... Anyone else have this issue and find a fix?

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.

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:-

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!

How to View PDF slideshow created with Adobe Photoshop Album?

Many years ago during the Windows ME era, I created several short PDF slideshows with software (Adobe Photoshop Album) that included audio. I saved them to a flashdrive. I believe I used Adobe Reader 7 to play them years ago. I am now running Windows 7 and attempted to open/play the videos and all I could see is the individual slides with no audio. Is there a way to view these slideshows with audio today? Some of them have special meaning and I would appreciate any assistance on how to view them once again.

Problem mit Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 S.E.

Hallo,
nach der der Installation will ich das Programm starten, jedoch erhalte ich folgender Fehlermeldung:
"Beim Öffnen des Katalogs Mein Katalog trat ein Problem auf. Der Katalog wurde möglicherweise von einem anderen Benutzer oder in einer anderen Anwendung geöffnet. Eventuell sind auch Dateien veraltet, beschädigt oder nicht vorhanden.
Die ODBC Datenquelle gab folgenden Fehler aus:
(Interner Fehler: Daten nicht gefunden)
Möchten Sie versuchen, diesen Katalog zu komprimieren, zu reparieren und dann erneut zu öffnen?"
Ich drücke "ja" und danach erscheint schon wieder eine Meldung:
"Beim Öffnen des Katalogs Mein Katalog ist ein Problem aufgetreten. Installieren Sie Adobe Photoshop 2.0 Starter Edition erneut"
Das Deinstallieren habe ich schon mehrmals versucht, jedoch ohne Erfolg...
Bitte um Hilfe...
Danke im Voraus

Hm, dann bleibt nur der Versuch, zunächst PSA SE _komplett_ zudeinstallieren: also über Systemsteuerung/Software und dann unter C:\Programme\Adobe das entsprechende Programm-Verzeichnis löschen - dann noch die Verzeichnisse "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\Adobe\Photoshop Album" sowie "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\<Benutzername>\Anwendungsdaten\Adobe\Photoshop Album" löschen. Evtl. noch in der Registry nach verwaisten Einträge suche ... Dann den Rechner neu starten und erneut die Installation versuchen. Evtl. hilft es auch, die SE noch mal frisch runterzuladen: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=2378 Alexander. -- 1533 MHz, 1 GB, XP SP2, Canon Ixus 430 (aka S410), CanoScan D1250U2F, German PSE v2.0.2 + PSA v2.0.1 (PSE v3 + PrE v1 soon to come)

Move photos from old PC running Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 starter edition, to new PC running Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.

Hello,
My old PC (Windows XP) has 8500+ photos with loads of tags attached using Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 starter edition.
I'm trying to move all photos, and tags, to my new PC (Windows 7) . I have installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 on my new PC.
All photos have been copied from the hard disk on the old PC to the hard disk on the new PC.
But how do I move the database/tag information between the old and new PC / between' Photoshop Album 2.0 starter edition' and 'Photoshop Elements 8'?
All help is highly appreciated, as I really don't want to add all this valuable tag information manually...

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
All tags are correct, but PSE automatically reconnected only approx 5000 of the approx 8500 pictures (the picture directory has been changed)
See this FAQ for how to beat the Reconnect command into submission:

Cannot sync photos from Adobe Photoshop Album anymore

Dear Everybody,
I recently upgraded my computer and had to reinstall it altogether. I ended up with the foloowing configuration:
WinXP pro SP2
iTunes 7.2.0.35
Quicktime 7.1.6
Adobe Photoshop Album 3.2
As you may have guessed, I use Photoshop Album to organize my digital photos and up to now I was able to sync specific collections with my iPod. Unfortunately this is not the case since I upgraded, after iTunes complained that it could not find my photo software.
I tried reinstalling everything and restoring my iPod without success, now I am desperate for help!
Does anyone have a similar experience or even better, a solution??
Many thanks in advance,
Yann

Just to point out that this will not work for raw files, since Adobe for some reason decided against using XMP sidecar files for the organizer, the way they do for PE/mac, bridge, etc.

Convert Catalog from Adobe Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 13

Hello Community!
I've searched for this question in Google, but I didn't find an answer that helped me.
The old computer from my client with Windows XP OS is getting replaced by a new one with Windows 7.
There was Adobe Photoshop Album on the old one which isn't supported anymore. My client had over 15'000 pictures on his old PC which I've already copied on the new computer. Now he wants his albums, tags and these things from Adobe Photoshop Album back, so I decided to install Photoshop Elements 13 because of the Elements Organizer tool.
Now I've seen answers in forums that sayed that all these informations are saved in the "My Albums.psa" Catalog file, which I've already found on the old computer and copied on the new one. Some people sayed it would work with the "convert" option in PSE, but this doesn't work for me, because PSE doesn't see the .psa file. So I tried to convert my .psa file with this Tool, but in the middle of the progress it says that it failed and that I should try to repair the file in PSE. I'm now stuck here, with several different solutions, and yet I don't know what to do now.
I've read something about the folder structure and that the pictures and folders have to be on the harddisk when trying to convert the .psa file. All pictures are on the new computer, but of course the folders aren't the same on the new OS.
It would be glad if I find a solution as soon as possible from someone in the community.
Thanks and have a nice day!

Finally I could solve the problem.
I tried to import the Backup.tly in Photoshop Elements, but without success. Even there an Error appeared. The conversion tool also still got this failure at a progress of 15% conversion... So I searched a reason for the failure in google and found this helpful article from Adobe. It says that you should look for the corrupt images in the log file. So did I, and I found the error causing picture on the old computer and deleted it. After that I opened Photoshop Album, clicked on "File > Reconnect all missing files" and deleted this picture from the catalog.
Now I didn't want to make the backup again, because the last nearly had 1h. So I decided to try it again by just copying the catalog.psa from the old computer to the new one and to convert it again with the conversion tool. The error came again, but at a progress of 22% So i had to do this a few times: Searching the corrupt image in the log file, deleting it on the old computer, deleting the missing file in Photoshop Album and converting it. And finally, it worked, no error after conversion! I let photoshop elements 13 open the new .pse13 file. Now, all tags and albums were back on Photoshop Elements. Eventually, I let the programm searching the new paths of all the images. It takes a time but it works great now. Thanks for your help, I would recommend the Adobe Community & support!

Migrating photos from Adobe Photoshop Album to Aperture

A while ago I posted to see if anyone had done this but got no replies. I have now managed to migrate my photos and most importantly kept the tags.
The first issue was that Adobe Photoshop Album kept its tags in an inaccesible proprietary database. This was resolved by downloading a 30 day trial version of Photoshop Elements 5 (PC). It appears that Adobe have actually built Photoshop Album in to Photoshop Elements (without telling any of us paid up Album users!). It is all there in PE5. What PE5 adds is an entry in 'File' menu called 'Write Tag and Properties Info to Photos'.
This 'writing' puts the tag information into the keyword IPTC field within the picture file itself.
It was then a simple case of making a backup from the file menu and backing up the whole library on to DVD(s).
In aperture simply Import images from the file menu, select the DVD and all the images are imported - tags and all.
The only one gripe about this process is that PE5 randomly misses out adding tag information to the files. There doesn't appear to be any logic to which files had no keyword information added at all. However, this is a better option than having to re-keyword everything again.
I hope this help some of you.
