Adode Photoshop Album Starter Edition Lock Out

HI I have been using a very old product for years called Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2, however it has locked me out of my old photos of my children. Does anyone know how to get in to access old photos as it is saying it is past registration timeframe.

If on a Mac, you could try File Juicer.
http://echoone.com/filejuicer/
" File Juicer doesn't care what type file you drop onto it; it searches the entire file byte by byte. If it finds a JPEG, JP2, PNG, GIF, PDF, BMP, WMF, EMF, PICT, TIFF, Flash, Zip, HTML, WAV, MP3, AVI, MOV, MPG, WMV, MP4, AU, AIFF or text file inside, it can save it to your desktop or to another folder you choose.

  • Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 Photo's Locked in and Can't Get Them Help.

    I have Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0  and I never used it/registered it until today when I wanted to take all my photos and put them to disk and have them Printed off.  I can't do this anymore as their are no codes available and I've done all I can.  Please can anyone help I have over 500 photo's locked inside a bloody product I can't even acess.  is their anyway of getting the photo's off the product and onto disk.
    Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Arthur.

    I had a look in the starter forum.
    The answer is, if you can't get your unlock code from support, don't worry; your photos are not locked into Starter Edition.
    If you use Windows Explorer, you could go into My Documents > My Pictures, and look around, perhaps in an Adobe folder for your photos.

    Your photos aren't actually in the Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 program, but on your hard drive, most likely in one of the

    It is a common misconception that Starter Edition 'stores', or copies, your files into it. But the program does not move or copy files at all, rather it scans your system's My Pictures directory, and generates miniature versions of your pictures (called thumbnails) so that you can browse a 'flat' list of thumbnails of your photos, overcoming the inconvenience of having to go into separate folders in Windows Explorer to have to find files.The thumbnails, as well as any tags, and Albums that you create in Starter Edition are all stored in the Photoshop Album catalog file, separate from your pictures, and your pictures remain where you originally copied them to your computer.
    If you use Photoshop Album to subsequently download files from a digital camera or scanner, the default location where the program will create those files would be in the My Pictures>Digital Camera Photos folder. But if you do NOT use Photoshop Album Starter edition to download files from your camera, then you will find that folder empty.
    The thumbnails in the Starter Edition catalog will exist, even if you decide to move or delete the original photos that were added to the program. This will cause files in the Photoshop Album catalog to become 'disconnected' from the original photos. To reconnect the files, you can use the File>Reconnect Missing files command to see if the program can locate the original files in a new location, and once again re-link the catalog thumbnails to the files they once referenced.
    Since Photoshop Album has been discontinued, I recommend that folks find an alternative solution. One alternative that will preserve most of what you've created in Starter Edition is the Photoshop Elements 8 trial. Install that, and it will automatically convert the Photoshop Album catalog to a current format, and the program will not time out, as Starter Edition did. If you want to purchase more Editing power, you can also choose to purchase the full program, but it's not required.
    If you are like many who have come to this forum wondering how you can get to your photos, now that the program has become locked or expired, don't worry; your photos have never been moved by Photoshop Album; they remain wherever you intially put them, on your hard drive. To get to them, you can navigate your file system using Windows Explorer. They are typically in your My Documents>My Pictures folder. Here is a handy How-To that you could refer to to find photos on your system, as well as some other tips for how you can use folders to keep your photos organized: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/maintain/filemgmt.mspx
    Hope those tips help!

  • Re: unlock code to Photoshop album Starter Edition 3

    I too have got problems with the Photoshop Album Starter Edition Album. My photos are locked in there from 2006 onwards and without any warning I am now unable to access them. The on screen message asks me to register with Adobe for an unlock code and when I tried this the reply came back that the product is no longer supported by Adobe. I rang their customer services (UK) and they told me they no longer supported this product and to contact an IT support man!!!!
    Appalled at this. Thanks Adobe - I think not. Anybody else offer me support in overcoming this problem? Thanks.

    Adobe Poor,
    You're not alone in wondering about how to get photos 'out' of Starter Edition. There are a few posts like this in the forum, all of which are based on the false assumption that Starter Edition has exclusive access to the photos that appear to be 'in' the program.

  • Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition  vs.  Picasa?

    Hi everyone..
    I have just installed Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 and I'm wondering about a few things. Bear with me here...
    1. I use Piccasa strictly as a picture-viewer program. I'm not 100% happy with it, could anybody pursuade me and my curious friend, why I should switch to Album Starter? I would like that.
    2. What I DO like about Piccasa is that it just view my pictures and do not copy them into a special piccasa-format. I have several file-formats in my picture-folder and I would like Album Starter to view all of them without changing the original location of the file, nor copy it, taking up a lot of disk-space.
    3. Another thing I like about Picasa is that if I have changed, added or removed a picture in the original file-location it updates those changes when I launch the program.
    4. I understand that there are several ways to view your photos. But can you also view and navigate your pictures through folders while you are in Album Starter? Because thats one thing I hate about Picasa, it just place all my folders on the side of the page, meaning it takes them out of their original folder and destroys the dept-folder-system I have made.
    5. Does Album Starter have a nice search function?
    If anyone could take the time to answer these very bad formulated questions, I would be very grateful.
    - C.C.

    1) PSA SE has better organizing tools [tags/collections] than Picassa. There is also a clear growth path if you want something more powerful [Photoshop Elements Organizer is compatible].
    2) With PSA SE you keep your image files anywhere you want.
    3) PSA SE has limitations in this area. You are encouraged to move files about from within the program.
    4) I'm not sure that you'd prefer PSA SE in this respect. You are really encouraged not to think in terms of folders, as that is not a way to organize a large collection of images [say much more than 100].
    5) It has various ways to search - what are you after? Using tagging intelligently means you very rarely need to search. [I have use this technology for 3 years and only used Search a handful of time.]

  • Lr cannot read Catalog .psa (Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2)

    Hello,
    I use Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 to manage my 12'000 photos (with tags) and I'll move to Lightroom. But I cannot import the catalog .psa into Lr2.3.
    Lr can read only catalog .lrcat, .lrdb, and .aglib !
    I renamed catalog .psa to catalog .aglib etc. but nothing happenend.
    My idea, I will :
    1. Install PSE 7,
    2. read catalog .psa (is it possible?)
    3. export into catalog .lrcat, .lrdb, or .aglib (is it possible?)
    4.then  import with Lr with all the tags
    Is there someting easyer to do ?
    My brain is boiling :-\
    Thank you
    Tennistin

    PSE7 should be able to convert your catalog. I don't really know, as I haven't tried and haven't read about converting PSA Starter Edition catalogs, but I am optimistic.
    The problem is that the current version of Lightroom will not read PSE7 catalogs. Probably when Lightroom 3 comes out, it will read PSE7 catalogs. So, I would search the Internet to see if the trial version of PSE6 or PSE5 is available somewhere for download. If you can find one of those versions, they will convert your PSA catalog as well. Lightroom definitely does convert PSE5 and PSE6 catalogs.

    I am having trouble trying to get a code to register my adobe photoshop album starter edition 3.2. I have made many requests and nothing happens.   My photos are locked in that programm and can't be used at all.  If I had a code to open I coulod transfer them to an up to date program.

    Where are the photos that I imported into Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition?  
    Your photos are safe, and are present in the folder on your computer that you specified when importing them. If you used Photoshop Album Starter Edition to import your files from the camera without changing the default folder, look in this folder:
    Windows® XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\My Documents\My Pictures\Adobe\Digital Camera Photos 
    Windows Vista®/7: C:\Users\[User Name]\Pictures\Adobe\Digital Camera Photos

    The migration is from Photoshop.com sharing and storage to Revel only.  If you have jpg files in Photoshop.com and you did not opt out, then files migrate to Revel automatically. Files on your computer are not touched.
    Just so you know, the support for Adobe Starter Edition ended in 2009.  Here is a link to related questions and answers.

  • Initialize Model - Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 Will Not Load

    I have a Dell Dimension E510, running Windows XP and I just downloaded Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2. It install successfully, but when I go to launch the program it freezes and in the bottom left hand corner of the Adobe Launcher window it states "Initialize Model".
    The program never finishes loading and does not work on my machine.
    Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

    I finally gave up. I got no reponse in this forum or from Adobe.
    I literally restored my entire computer back to its original state and guess what... SAME ANNOYING THING HAPPENED "Initialize Model" then FREEZE...
    I went out and bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 at Costco for $49.00 on sale and it works great and actually a much superior product. My heart skipped a beat when it got to Initializing Model, but it went right by and worked fine.
    I understand Album Starter is freeware, but why even release a product even for free if it just doesn't work.
    So far no problems with Elements and although I had to shell out $49.00 at least now I have a supported product.

  • Adobe photoshop album starter edition

    Can anyone help me in regards to the Adobe phots album. I have downloaded picture to this photoshop and it will not let me save any of my pictures to "My Pictures" can someone advise me on what to do?

    Hi, I am new to this, being a great grandmother sometimes I am a bit slow. I have made a slideshow in the Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 and it works good. I had problems trying to figure out how to get it done step by step. I do not have a manual for it as I bought this Hard drive from another person. Does anyone know how I can print up the instructions either from the program ( which I didn't see anywhere ) or if I can get it off the internet?? Help on this would be appreciated.

  • Storing Notes with Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3

    I am new to Photoshop Album Starter Edition and was working with it yesterday to catalog some old family photos that I had scanned. When I was cataloging the photos, I added a caption and notes for each photo under the properties tab. When I burned the photo files to a CD and loaded the CD to another computer using Photoshop Starter Edition 3, I able to see the caption under properties but there was nothing in the Notes field. I'd like to use the notes field to store comments about the photo and then be able to burn the CD to share with other family members. Is there a way to burn the photos to a CD and be able to see the Notes information?

    Using PSA 3.0 does this also mean that if I move an image to a new directory it loses the notes information and similarly should I rename the file will it will also lose the notes detail but not the caption. I understand why this is, if it is so - ah but here comes the question, "Is there any way to print out the notes detail by images etc to a file or to the printer should the need arise to reuse the information. Say I scan images to a laptop and record "notes information" using PSA 3.0 - how do I get that "notes" information to my desktop should I transfer the photos & use PSA 3.0 there - any help or advice would be most appreciated - are there other Adobe products that address this

  • Retrieving Photoshop Album Starter Edition catalog

    I am unable to retrieve photos from my Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition. Asked for an unlock code, but never got one via email. Called Adobe. They said this forum was the only way I could solve the problem. Huh? Anyone out there been through this? I can't access five years worth of photographs.

    Download Photoshop Elements 9.   Open the program and when the sky blue coloured panel appears, click on 'ORGANISE'.
    This will open your new photo catalogue (all in black and grey).  Click on 'FIND' at the top left corner, and then click on 'BY HISTORY' and then click on 'IMPORTED ON'.  This should open your entire list of pics that you have on Album Starter 3.2 and on hard disc and CD.
    Click on the ones you want to retrieve and then copy them to disc or hardrive in a new file.  You should also see the images in the new catalogue on the screen.
    I have been trying for months to get to my photos and this seems to do the trick.  Good luck!
