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

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.

Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 with AOL desktop (AOL 10)

I have fully patched XP SP2
AOL 10 as default email client
Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2, registered and unlocked.
When setting pref for email client within Adobe PSE, AOL is not listed as an email option. I have reinstalled Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2, and unlocked, reinstalled AOL 10 (desktop) and reset it as the default email client. The default is working, as mailto: links in browsers open up AOL Desktop, and the email app listed at the top of the <START> button is AOL. How can I set it as an email client in Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2? Is there some registry hack? Interference with another app?

Re 3.2 Photoshop. After I had some repair done to my computer, the photos in my album have the restricted little red square at the bottom of each photo. When I try to open the photo to fix or print a message box comes on that nothing can be done because of overide problem. In fact it closes the photoshop immediately because of this error. Is there anything I can do? - if I search the Browse button I get absolutely no connection or a march. This is most frustrating. I tried calling tech assistance, they could not help me infact hung up on me. What sort of helpfull assistance is that? Should there be any helpfull suggestions, other than uninstalling (Have done that) and reinstalling (done that) nothing seems to work. I cannot even copy those photos to a disk, the photoshop closes down immediately. Help. Donna

Question re adobe photoshop album starter edition 3.0

hi
I still work with the old fashioned adobe photoshop album starter edition 3.0. I have had a virgin.net e-mail address for years but have recently changed to hotmail.co.uk.
However when I try and share a photograph from my adobe album it automatically reverts to outlook express. I can't send from there as my hotmail account isnt configured to outlook express therefore how do I send photos using my hotmail account?
Can anyone help please, I am not technically minded
thanks

There seem to be two questions here:
1) is it possible to configure Photoshop Album Starter Edition to send photos via Hotmail?
2) alternatively, how can you configure Outlook Express to manage your Hotmail account?
Since this forum is the Photoshop forum and has nothing to do with Photoshop Album Starter Edition, and since both Photoshop Album Starter Edition and Outlook Express are discontinued programs, you will have to be very lucky to find someone who can help you here.
For 1) you might try asking in the Photoshop Album Starter Edition forum http://forums.adobe.com/community/ps_album_starter?view=discussions. There isn't much traffic there, but you may be lucky.
For 2) you might try searching the Internet for instructions on how to use Outlook Express with Hotmail. I did a simple search on "Outlook Express Hotmail" and found lots of information.
Good luck!

How to transfer metadata (tags etc) from Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 to A P Elements 8

I have just bought the Adobe Elements 8. I was told that this product was the upgrade product from the trial version of Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2. Can't find a clear solution in this forum of how to transfer the metadata to the Adobe Elements 8 and continue the indexing with the latest product. Hopefully somebody can help.
Bjorn

If you still have your 3.2 psa catalog in your "My Catalogs" folder, try
downloading PSE5 from here:
http://www.johnrellis.com/photoshop_elements_5.0_trial_version.exe.
PSE5 should be able to find your catalog and you can convert it into PSE5.
If that doesn't work, it may be because you weren't able to run "reconnect
all missing files" in PSA3.2 before attempting the conversion. If all your
photos were still connected, this should work. Then you can open PSE8 and
convert PSE5 into PSE8. Do a "reconnect all missing files" in PSE5 before
you do the conversion. Even though all my files were connected when I
converted PSA2 into PSE5, PSE5 had about 30 unconnected photos.
Good luck!

How to go from Photoshop Album Starter Edition to Photoshop Elements?

I have both Photoshop Album Starter Edition and Photoshop Elements on my computer. I didn't even know I had the PSA SE--I just assumed it was part of Photoshop Elements when it automatically opened after I stuck my photo disk in. So I started playing around with it and cataloged my new photos. Then I started Photoshop Elements, and none of the cataloging or tags that I had just entered in PSA SE were there. Is there any way to transfer the information from PSA SE to Photoshop Elements without having to retype everything?

You need to locate the PSA SE catalog file. It is called My Catalog.PSA and is Docs&Settings somewhere [in a hidden folder]. Once you have located it, in PSE organizer do File/Catalog/Open and navigate to the file you just located. It will be converted and everything should work OK.

Does Photoshop Elements 11 organize pix by categories like the old Album Starter Edition 3.0?

I'm aware that Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 is not supported by Adobe anymore. I have thousands of photos organized on it using its "Category" function. Does Photoshop Elements 11 have a similar function? (I'm in the midst of also switching to a new computer and my old one can't load the info on the PS 11 program available on this site.) I'm extremely concerned I not lose the ability to retrieve my pix by the categories I've already assigned them, when I switch to PS 11 on my new computer.

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
Hope those tips help!

Photoshop Album Started Edition question

I have Photoshop Elements 3.0.1 (including the Organizer) that I bought a few years ago. I just noticed there is a Photoshop Album starter edition 3.2 free download. Are the version numbers comparable so that I could update my Organizer with a more recent version for free? If so would I need special procedures to transfer all by photos into the newer version?
Thanks for any help.

Beware that as time goes by, it will be less and less likely you'll be able to convert your PSA catalog to a later version of PSE. Already, a number of people have reported difficulty converting old catalogs to PSE 7, and some have had to resort to finding old copies of PSE 5, converting from 3 to 5, and then converting from 5 to 7. Unfortunately, Adobe provides no effective support for such issues and seems unconcerned about the numerous bugs reported in the last two years with the catalog conversion process.
Also, Vista only supports PSE 5.02 and later on Vista. Some people have reported being able to run earlier versions on Vista, and some have reported problems. With the upcoming Windows 7, it's even less likely that old versions of PSE/PSA are going to run on it.
Adobe generally releases new versions of PSE in the fall in preparation for the Christmas season.

How do I import photos from Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2???

I have all my family photos for at least the last 6 years on Adobe Album Starter Edition 3.2. I cannot access them because it says a need a code to open them and I don't have that; they are no longer supporting that, so how the heck do I access all my photos?????

Thanks Pat, I've tried that to no success (quite a few different ways) even though I can see the file name in the page before the registration page covers it, and the *.jpg brings up over 32000 files, the problem here is that some images I know are also duplicated in the "my digital photos" file but how do I know if they are all there? there are over 4700 photos in the Album starter catalogue.The frustrating thing is I know they are somewhere perhaps safely in the "My digital photos" but what is making me wonder is my new Photoshop Elements 11 keeps reminding me of missing files??

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.
