Photoshop Album S.E. 3.2 un-install - re-install

Hi,
My version of photoshop album starter edition 3.2 is not syncing with my iphone anymore. After it's found all the images a termination window appears and i have to close it down.
I believe the best thing i can do is un-install and then re-install.
When i had to do this with itunes, after re-installation everything was as it was before i.e playlists, music etc etc all unchanged.
Will this be the same with photoshop album 3.2? Will it automatically display all the pictures it currently is and all the tags, sets etc or will i have to start from scratch?
Many thanks for your help.
(running Windows XP)
Mike

Similar to iTunes, the tags and collections are stored in the catalog file, which is not removed in a reinstallation, and would be read after reinstallation.

Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0.

Is anyone ever experience the problem to send/ register to adobe product registration?
I just got my new notebook, and this Photoshop Album SE 3.0 have been installed on the program files.
I have been trying to send the product/ register to adobe registration (which they request to make me able to continue using the program), but it keep says "internet send failed".
It's nothing wrong with my internet connection because I have been browsing around all the time, but I never able to send the registration.
Now, I only have 7 times left to be able to use this program without register.
PLEASE HELP ME. I need to be able to use this program everyday... and I am frustated.
Thanks!

Hi, Seems like your prefernces got corrupted. Try deleting all your user/application preferences placed at following location: C:\Documents and Settings\<Login Name>\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Album\3.0 This location is hidden location so in explorer, go to Tools --> Folder Options --> View and select 'Show hidden files and folders' Let us know if it solves your problem. <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. > Cannot open photoshop after downloading.When i start to open photoshop > starter edition 3 ... there is ERROR CODE c0000005 , ADDRESS:1b816f56 > ... and needs to close .. > I have download this starter edition more then 5 times and alway have same > problem? > > Can somobody help me ? > Thanks

Convert Catalog from Adobe Photoshop Album to Photoshop Elements 13

Hello Community!
I've searched for this question in Google, but I didn't find an answer that helped me.
The old computer from my client with Windows XP OS is getting replaced by a new one with Windows 7.
There was Adobe Photoshop Album on the old one which isn't supported anymore. My client had over 15'000 pictures on his old PC which I've already copied on the new computer. Now he wants his albums, tags and these things from Adobe Photoshop Album back, so I decided to install Photoshop Elements 13 because of the Elements Organizer tool.
Now I've seen answers in forums that sayed that all these informations are saved in the "My Albums.psa" Catalog file, which I've already found on the old computer and copied on the new one. Some people sayed it would work with the "convert" option in PSE, but this doesn't work for me, because PSE doesn't see the .psa file. So I tried to convert my .psa file with this Tool, but in the middle of the progress it says that it failed and that I should try to repair the file in PSE. I'm now stuck here, with several different solutions, and yet I don't know what to do now.
I've read something about the folder structure and that the pictures and folders have to be on the harddisk when trying to convert the .psa file. All pictures are on the new computer, but of course the folders aren't the same on the new OS.
It would be glad if I find a solution as soon as possible from someone in the community.
Thanks and have a nice day!

Finally I could solve the problem.
I tried to import the Backup.tly in Photoshop Elements, but without success. Even there an Error appeared. The conversion tool also still got this failure at a progress of 15% conversion... So I searched a reason for the failure in google and found this helpful article from Adobe. It says that you should look for the corrupt images in the log file. So did I, and I found the error causing picture on the old computer and deleted it. After that I opened Photoshop Album, clicked on "File > Reconnect all missing files" and deleted this picture from the catalog.
Now I didn't want to make the backup again, because the last nearly had 1h. So I decided to try it again by just copying the catalog.psa from the old computer to the new one and to convert it again with the conversion tool. The error came again, but at a progress of 22% So i had to do this a few times: Searching the corrupt image in the log file, deleting it on the old computer, deleting the missing file in Photoshop Album and converting it. And finally, it worked, no error after conversion! I let photoshop elements 13 open the new .pse13 file. Now, all tags and albums were back on Photoshop Elements. Eventually, I let the programm searching the new paths of all the images. It takes a time but it works great now. Thanks for your help, I would recommend the Adobe Community & support!

Photoshop album starter edition not installed

i downloaded adobe reader 8.1.1 and it said it would install the photoshop starter addition too. it does not seem to have done that. how do i install the photoshop album starter edition??

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:

Need installer for Photoshop Album v3.2 to upgrade install of v2.0

I'm supporting an old couple's PC with a valid licensed Photoshop Album 2.0 install. Moving to a different photo management system is not a possibility for many reasons. However, v2.0 has serious limitations with email support. I'd like to get them updated to the latest version Adobe produced for Photoshop Album which I believe is v3.2. How do I get the installer for this obsolete product?

Bartmaneh I would recommend reviewing Photoshop Album Starter Edition support withdrawal FAQ as it discusses the current state of Photoshop Album and the available alternatives.

Can I use tags I created in SE if I upgrade to Photoshop Album V2?

I am changing from Album Starter Edition 3 to Photoshop Album V2. I have already created a lot of tags in SE3. Can these be reused when I install Album V2?

Answered this on the PSA forum/

Convert photoshop album SE 3.2 to Photoshop elements

It seems simple enough.
I have photoshop album SE 3.2 and it is working well with 8400 photos all tagged is various groups. I downloaded Photoshop elements 8 and installed it(succesfully). I then tried to convert the database over. It does 2% then comes up with:
"The conversion operation failed. Try repairing the catalog with the software that created it and retry conversion"
I have checked every photo, hit the "reconnect all missing files" option under the file tab. held the cntl key upon startup, used the oprimize and repair tabs in photoshop elements and nothing shows any errors but it still will not convert.
Is there something obvious I am missing ?
I have about 20 days left on my trial and I want to make sure it works before I buy it.
Thanking you in advance.

Thanks. I can see a couple of messages that look like errors but do not know how to handle them.

Restoring & converting Photoshop Album 2.0 catalog

I recently replaced my old PC (Windows XP, Photoshop Album 2.0) by a new one (Windows 7), however not without first saving my Photoshop Album catalog on an external hard drive.
As Windows 7 refuses to install Photoshop Album 2.0, I purchased Photoshop Elements 8, as the Adobe website indicated that PSE 8 supported catalogs made by Photoshop Album.
However when trying to restore my Photoshop Album catolog from the external hard drive, after restoring it, PSE8 asks me to convert it and then I always get a failure message saying that the catalog couldn't be succesfully converted .
Can anyone give me a helping hand? Thank you.

The upgrade from Photoshop Album 2 can have some difficulties, but people have been successful. I recommend that you follow the suggested steps and request additional help from others on this forum when you can not resolve a problem.

Converting Catalogs From Photoshop Album (2.0) to Photoshop Elements 13

My Photoshop Album currently holds some 23,000 photographs/jpgs from 2003 to date. Each is catalogued to provide a very high level of granularity to assist in identifying specific photographs and their subject content.
I have purchased Photoshop Elements to update the management of the collection. The Adobe information identifies it to be a suitable successor but indicates that there is likely to be some effort required to update the catalog. Using Catalog Manager I have attempted to Convert the old catalog which didn’t work because it “couldn’t be seen” in Elements. Further research of the Forum and other Adobe resources pointed to the Catalog Conversion Utility. Again this also failed to work.
I then reduced the number of photographs to about 4,500 (year 2014). I have noted by the way that this has had virtually no effect on the psa file size. As I gradually Deleted photos from the Catalog I have come across about 100 items which cannot be deleted and returns the following error message….
The ODBC data source reported the following error:
“[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Indicator variable required but not supplied on column number 10 (fDateTimeHigh)”
I have tried a number of ways to delete the photos including removing them from their folder; “Reconnecting the Missing File” with/without the same name in a different Folder; and generally getting myself very frustrated with my lack of knowledge. Googling/search for help and pointers hasn’t found the solution.
What or where can I find a way of deleting these errant files? (I have MS Access if this is a tool that might get me the solution.)
Note that one very old and small Catalog did convert and successfully integrated into Elements so it all works in principle. It seems to point to these problem jpgs.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes. Thanks for your reply. Just shows my age doesn't it! I've really got to upgrade my system from Windows 3.1.
Still it lasted me for quite a few years over its various issues and wasn't a bad investment for me considering I think it was a magazine cover freebie, though I can't remember whether it was issued on 5" or 3" disks!!!
Interesting to note that conceptually the original design was quite good and together with the new face recognition technology which is as good if not better than Picasa the PSE13 Organiser does a good job. It's a pity Adobe doesn't promote more of this side of the product. I wasn't able to find the replacement to Album as it was starting to struggle as the photo count increased and I hadn't been able to find an obvious replacement. Still that's over now.
All I have to do now is to raise a query as to how to order/sort certain tags and it's a near perfect product for me. Can't find the answer in the Manual(s) or FAQs - or I'm not using the correct query key words.

Photoshop Album 2.0 Catalog problem

I have been using Photoshop Album 2.0 on my old computer (Windows XP) for some time. My new computer is Vista 32bit. I have installed Album 2.0 on the new computer. I have used Easy Transfer to transfer the Photoshop Album Catalog to the new computer. When I open Photoshop Album all I get is a blank catalog page. Does Vista support this version of Photoshop. How can I retrieve my pictures and settings.

It's not compatible with Vista, no.
You might try the free Album Starter Edition, although I'm not sure if you can just open an existing Album 2.0 catalog in it (I don't use either software, so I just don't know).
If your catalog is empty, then it's possible you didn't transfer the actual image files to the new computer.
Album only stores a link to the images on your hard drive, so you have to have the files in place for the catalog to see them.

Lightroom 2 from Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0

I plan to install Lightroom 2 on a Windows 7 PC and move all my photos from an old XP machine with Photoshop Album 2.0. The old photos are organized in folders extensively. Any tips on how to do this with the least aggravation and get things reorganized best? (Or would another Adobe program be easier for migration from Photoshop Album 2.0?) I hope to share the new photo collection on Windows 7 with 3 different users on the same PC. Thanks for any tips.

I partially agree and partially disagree with dj-paige.
The first thing that i do after importing my photos into PSE or into Lightroom, is to tag my photos. I have more than 30'000 cataloged photos and they are all tagged. Tagging the photos is essential to me, because the tags helps me a lot to find/search-for photos; Tags are without doubts an essential organization tool.
However after tagging my photos, the next thing that i typically do, is to organize my new photos into one or more Collections (typically one Collection per subject). Organizing my photos into Collections allow me to show, see, edit/develop my photos in the sequence of my choice. This sequence is often
- the sequence in which i will wish to show/see my photos
- or the sequence in which I will wish to edit/develop my photos (typically, the most similar photos, adjacent to each other in the sequence of the Collection - this is often not the chronological shoot sequence).
I understand that not every PSE or Lightroom user wishes to do the same as I do and that not every PSE/Lr user cares much about Collections. But for me, Collections are an essential organization tool.

Move photos from old PC running Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 starter edition, to new PC running Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.

Hello,
My old PC (Windows XP) has 8500+ photos with loads of tags attached using Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 starter edition.
I'm trying to move all photos, and tags, to my new PC (Windows 7) . I have installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 on my new PC.
All photos have been copied from the hard disk on the old PC to the hard disk on the new PC.
But how do I move the database/tag information between the old and new PC / between' Photoshop Album 2.0 starter edition' and 'Photoshop Elements 8'?
All help is highly appreciated, as I really don't want to add all this valuable tag information manually...

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
All tags are correct, but PSE automatically reconnected only approx 5000 of the approx 8500 pictures (the picture directory has been changed)
See this FAQ for how to beat the Reconnect command into submission:
