Need help regarding Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0

Thanks in advance for helping me.
When I got a new camera about 4 years ago, it came with this software. I loaded it up, but never used it. I normally just create a new folder on my desktop and click and drag the shots from the computer to the desktop. I do this by just opening up my computer, find the external drive and then click and drag.
Here is the problem though. My wife decided to download photos from my daughters b-day party. When she plugged in the card reader, this photo album starter automatically opened and started to drag the photos into the program.
Although this shouldn't be a problem it is a large issue. Since I never used the product, I never registered for it either. So when I just tried to register for it, it told me the program is no longer able to be registered for. And when I hit the register later button, it shuts down the program. Therefore, it will not allow me to grab the photos and save them to a file on my desktop.
Can anyone tell me a way around this, please?

You need to ask in the Photoshop Album Starter Edition forum.

  • 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.

  • Using photoshop album starter edition 3.o and need to copy to laptop, missing my program cd.

    I am presently using photshop album starter edition 3.) and need to copy to new laptop.  I have misplaced my program cd.  Is there any way I can get this program on my laptop.  It is windows 7 and the photshop is on XL.  Thanks so much.

    I am sorry but we no longer have older software available for download.  I am not sure Photoshop Album Starter Edition would even function in Windows 7. 
    I would recommend trying Photoshop Elements 10 on your new computer.  It has all the features of Photoshop Album Starter Editon plus many more.  On top of that it has been designed to work with Windows 7.  You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Cannot register my Photoshop Album Starter Edition!

    Hi,
    I'm using your free software Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0, on Windows XP SP2 platform.
    I would like to register it, but each time I try I encounter the following problem:
    in the window "Status", after "Checking for Internet connection" and "Attempting to connect to Internet" dialog boxes, I receive the
    report "Unable to connect to site".
    What's happening? I use the broadband LAN Internet connection, so there can't be any problem with Internet access, even firewall is
    not "guilty" (I tried to switch it off, but the problem with registration persists).
    What should I do?

    If it's any help the thumbs.5.cache (at least in Windows XP) should be in:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalog Folders\My PSE5 Catalog
    where My PSE5 Catalog is whatever your new PSE5 Catalog is called. It's a hidden
    sample folder so you need to enable seeing hidden files and folders to see it. Not sure about the tn.4.cache as a recent discussion here indicated that it's from an older version of Elements (PSE3) and PSE5 shouldn't have one. Renaming wouldn't help and might give problems. If you can't find the thumbs.5.cache it sounds like PSE5 is having trouble building it for some reason and I think I'd be contacting Adobe Tech Support.

  • Does Photoshop Album Starter Edition recognize Thunderbird?

    The Mozilla e-mail program. Do I need to change something in T-bird or Photoshop?
    Thanks,
    B. J.

    In Photoshop Album Starter Edition go to Edit --> Preferences --> Email tab and check if your email program is listed or not.
    If the program is listed you can choose that as default program for email through Photoshop Album Starter Edition, otherwise you can choose (Save to Disk) option to save attachment on the disk and use the email program to send those attachments.
    hope that helps.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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.
