Migration from Photoshop Album Starter Edition 2.0 to PSE9 on new PC running Windows 7 ?

Troubles in the migration of 12.000 carefully tagged pictures to new PC and new PSE9
I finally was able to use my old catalog, created with Starter edition 2.0, with all his tags, on my new computer in Photoshop album Edition 3.2, and this works normally, but will stop after now less than 10 times using it ( as no more registration is possible ).
Photoshop Elements 9 is now running on my pc, BUT, when I try to convert the old catalog ( catalog.psa ), it fails with the following message : "The conversion failed cause the file of your catalog is corrupted. Try to fix it into your old software, and start again ". But, in my old software Album 3.2, there is no possibility to "repair" the catalog ..... And when I try "Open as" with PSE9, it says " This type of file is not supported ".
So, my catalog.psa which is indeed an MS access file cannot be converted in catalog.PSE9db. I was thinking that maybe an older version of Elements would be helpful, but I can't find any available trial. Any idea to help me further ?

Thank you Mark ,
This is a very quick and complete answer and I was lucky enough to be able to download the needed software.
Unfortunately, when I tried to upgrade Phtoshop Album Starter Edition 2.0 to 3.2, it says that the tags will be kept ( saved ), but when opening 3.2, all pictures are there, but no tag at all ....
Is there anything else ( or more ) I could try to recover those tags ?
Thank you for your help.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Get photos from Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2

    We have some images stored in Photoshop Album Starter edition 3.2. When we now try to open the photos, we are told to register us for an unlocking code, which we never get. I have also tried to call Adobe support, but they could not help us with this because this program does not longer exists. And then support told us to go to this forum for further assistance. Anyone here who know how we can get access to our photos again?

  • Migration of Photoshop Album Starter Edition 2.0 to new PC ?

    With 12.000 pictures classified and carefully  tagged in Photoshop Album starter 2.0 on a PC running Windows Xp, I'm now migrating to a new PC running Windows7.
    Installing the software and all pictures was easy, but there are no tag anymore !!
    To keep those tags ( a lot of days of work ), would it be effective to upgrade on my old PC to Photoshop Elements, and after, migrate on the new one Photoshop Elements ? Is it safe to upgrade to Elements ( won't I loose, not my pictures, but my tags ) ? Will Elements create files with the tags, so I can easily copy and migrtae those ?
    Many thanks for help

  • How do I get my videos to all work correctly in Photoshop Album Starter Edition Ver. 3.0?

    I have been using version 3.0 for the last 3 years and had no problems with any of my videos playing once they were downloaded from my mobile phone or camera to version 3.0 until August 2007 but now a lot of them say 'The selected file cannot be played'.  All the files that don't work are '.AVI' files and the only thing I can see they have in common is that in the file name it says -1x-1 next to the file size and length of the clip, whereas the working files have full numbers i.e. 640*480.  I still have a couple of files downloaded after August 2007 that do play but not many.  Is there any way I can change the settings or recover these files so they will actually play?

    It seems to me that these problematic files may not be .avi files, or are corrupted; it doesn't seem likley that it's a setting in Photoshop Album Starter Edition.
    Do any of those files play in Windows Media player? Another possibility could be that these files are sidecar files to your video files; are there similarly-named video files that work fine? If so, then I would suspect that these .avi files are, again, not .avi files, and could be simply text info that goes along with  your .avi files, and could be ignored (removed from the catalog).

    Can anyone help me retreive my pictures

    wneyie
    Whether you use Starter Edition or not, your photos remain wherever you intially put them, on your hard drive.  To get to them without using Starter Edition, 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: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/maintain/filemgmt.mspx#3
    Hope that helps.

  • Photoshop Album Starter Edition to Photoshop 7.0

    How can I export photos from Photoshop Album Starter Edition to Photoshop 7.0?

    The pictures are there on your hard drive.
    Photoshop 7  does not "import" pictures – you open them when you want to edit them.
    In case you meant Photoshop Elements  7.0, there is a thing called the Organizer.

    Deric:
    SE didn't delete the Windows Picture and FAX viewer, but by just deleting it, you've left a configuration problem behind.
    I'd suggest re-installing the latest version of SE that can be found here:

  • How do i retrieve photos from Adobe photoshop album starter edition?

    Hi, Im am trying to migrate photos from a locked version of Adobe Photoshop Album starter Edition to Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, I have tried Windows Explorer search with no luck, and despite being able to see the file names in the Starter Edition before the register page covers it. Even though I would have followed the default path I can't seem to get past the "Application data" part of the path as this is missing from my selections, any further suggestions? kind regards Penny0208

    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??

  • 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.

    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!
