Album Starter Edition 3.0  has my pictures locked

First time poster, new to on-line photos.  Recently we recieved blakcberry phones at work.  My pictures that I have been storing and backing up go automatically into Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0   I have been doing this for a about 6 months without ever trying to do anything with them.  Recently, I tried to access them to no avail.  Adobe ask that I register with them.  After doing so I recieve an email stating the following:
The starter edition is discontinued deadline to register is passed. Go to photoshop.com to upgrade etc. etc.
So, I went to photoshop.com downloaded the new version and still cannot access my pictures as they are locked and I need the key to retrieve these pictures.
What can I do to retrieve these pictures, they are of my son growing the past 6 months, and I will be heartbroken without the retrival of these.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
PS> I am running windows XP and the pictures are being loaded from my blackberry.  The phone doesn't have that much storage and the pictures stored in the 3.0 edition are locked and the only copies I have.

  • Album starter edition 3.2 won't let me copy/paste pictures

    hello,
    photoshop album starter edition 3.2,winxp home,dell dimension 5100,lexmark x3350,3gig ram.
    this program will not allow me to copy/paste any pictures from MY PICTURES/DOCUMENTS. they ALL go into the photoshop program. i have to right click on the picture, use the SEND TO option, send it to my email and transfer from my email (sometimes this path will not allow the picture to enter where i want it to go because of the extended path).
    is there a way to bypass the photoshop?
    thank you.

  • LOOSING pictures with Album starter edition 3.2 !?

    Any help possible??
    I am using Album Starter Edition 3.2 (with Vista Home Premium) for more than a year in the current configuration, for 4 years altogether. I recently added photos from several new sources (second camera, and other people's photo-CDs) and since 2 days photos can only be displayed as thumbnails, when displayed as single photo a window opens and says "searching for missing file", when this is cancelled a "broken photo" sign appears in the thumbnail.
    What happened? What can I do?
    Sincerely
    Peter Kaserer

    Dear Laura, I just solved -my- problem, and I hope this will help you too:
    A few days ago I transferred the complete "Pictures" file to the desk top for better accessibility. This file was then not listed in the box any more that appears when you click "Search" so maybe you also changed the path to the photo file and can restore it that way.
    Good luck, and a Happy New Year!
    Peter
    P.S.: What an interesting name -Jacobus!

  • 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.]

    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

  • Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 error c0000005

    When I try to get pictures from my iphone via Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2, it has to close with error C0000005.
    I'm disappointed that I have to use 3rd party software to get photos on and off my iphone. I thought Apple made products that were easy to use. Just seems like the same crap from a different manufacturer (can you tell I'm frustrated?). Not to mention all the limitations with the iphone if you actually want to use it for business ....

    You don't need to use 3rd party software - iPhoto will do it automatically once you set it up.
    Connected your iPhone to your computer. iTunes then opens up. Select your iPhone under Devices, in the left column. Then click the Photos tab in the main window. Check the box that says, "Sync photos from:" Then, iPhoto will open every time you sync. You'll have the option to import the Photos from your phone and you'll be able to chose if the original stays on your phone or is deleted.

  • Album Starter Edition 3.0 VS Photoshop Element 5.0

    Photoshop Element 5.0 on a 30 day trail and I also downloaded Adobe Album Starter Edition 3.0. I did this to see what the difference was between them as I am going to go to an update verizon with Adobe that's like my PhotoDeluxe 4.0. I use PhotoDeluxe 4.0 mostly for editing and printing pictures.What I liked about PhotoDeluxe was the I could print different pictures oh one sheet. I don't know if the other two new programs do this. ( I am sure they do it just I haven't had time to research them.) I would be open to any suggestion or comments about which programs would best suit my needs.
    Thank You
    Jim Lawless @ [email protected]

    PSA SE has almost no editing capabilities.
    PSE can do everything that PSA SE can do and lots else besides.
    Both programs can print multiple pics on a sheet.

  • Transfer tags from Photoshop Album Starter Edition to other Photoshop products?

    Here's a scenario for you, which might require some expert advise:
    We have a database (on a network server) with ~6000 pictures which are extensively tagged using Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 installed on a client PC. The client PC had to be swapped out, so I installed a new PC with Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, and moved the tag database (....\All Users\bla bla bla) from the old to the new PC. Now, when I start Photoshop Album Starter Edition, I can see that the software has found my images and tags, but the software displays a pop-up asking for an unlock-code, and I cannot get past this popup.  When registering using the form in the popup, I receive an email from Adobe saying that the product is discontinued and cannot be used anymore. I have Googled like a maniac to find unlock codes, but when entering such codes in the unlock code window, the "unlock"-button stays disabled, so I am not able to start the software to access our image- and tags database.
    So I wonder:
    1) Is it possible to unlock the software and continue using it?
    2) Does any other version/variant of Adobe Photoshop allow import of the tags database from Photoshop Album Starter Edition?
    Looking forward to your clever ideas on this one.
    With kind regards
    /Nils

  • 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.

    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.
