Photoshop Album Started changes .jpeg into .tiff

I use Photoshop Album Starter 3.0 and have been very happy with it when using my Olympus Camera. I recently purchased a new Canon Powershot A470, and when downloading images from the camera, Photoshop Album changes a .jpeg into a .tiff.
How do I tell the program not to do this?
Thanks!!!

Please send a code so I can open my adobe photoshop album starter edition 3.2 and transfer my photoes into an up to date program

I am having trouble trying to get a code to register my adobe photoshop album starter edition 3.2. I have made many requests and nothing happens. My photos are locked in that programm and can't be used at all. If I had a code to open I coulod transfer them to an up to date program.

Where are the photos that I imported into Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition?
Your photos are safe, and are present in the folder on your computer that you specified when importing them. If you used Photoshop Album Starter Edition to import your files from the camera without changing the default folder, look in this folder:
Windows® XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\My Documents\My Pictures\Adobe\Digital Camera Photos
Windows Vista®/7: C:\Users\[User Name]\Pictures\Adobe\Digital Camera Photos
If you changed the folder, here are the search instructions:

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?

If you are on a Mac, try using File Juicer:
It will extract any and all images from any type of file.

With File Juicer you can:
Extract images from a PowerPoint slide show or presentation.
Extract images and text from PDF files.
Recover images and video from erased flash cards
Recover text from damaged files
Extract the images and HTML files in Safari's cache.
Extract attachments from email archives.
Rebuild simple PDF files into Word documents
Convert iPhoto's iPod cache files and ithmb files to TIFF.
Recover photos from your iPod if you have lost your Mac.
Extract Flash animations saved in .EXE files.
Convert ZIP files which have been saved as .EXE files to zip.
Extract the JPEG pictures from Canon & Nikon RAW files.
Extract System 7 Sounds
Use it for forensics examining cache files of various kinds
Invisibly attach files to images - simple steganography
File Juicer doesn't care what type file you drop onto it; it searches the entire file byte by byte. If it finds a JPEG, JP2, PNG, GIF, PDF, BMP, WMF, EMF, PICT, TIFF, Flash, Zip, HTML, WAV, MP3, AVI, MOV, MPG, WMV, MP4, AU, AIFF or text file inside, it can save it to your desktop or to another folder you choose.

Program changes .jpeg to .tiff

My Photoshop Starter 3.0 changes images taken in jpeg into .tiff when downloading from the camera.
It only does this with my new Canon Powershot A470, not the old Olympus D-390.
Is there a way to stop this????
Thanks!

There's no setting to change file formats for download, but cameras are capable of capturing and storing files in either JPEG or TIF; my guess is that you are capturing the original file as a TIF on that camera.

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.]

How do I do File/New in Photoshop Album Starter?

Problem is that when I open Photoshop Album Starter 3.2 by the icon, it automatically goes into My Catalogue -- and you cannot access File/New in the drop down under File -- so how do I get out of My Catalogue?
Pls help!!!

thank you Vibha -- I am trying to follow instructions from a company to whom I will send an original artwork image that I scanned. They suggest using Adobe Photoshop, a program in which you can change the color mode to CMYK. The way they say to do this is to go to File, and then New, and then proceed from there, etc, etc to change the color mode. My Catalogue which is the only window that comes up when I click into Photoshop Starter Edition 3.2(the only version of Adobe Photoshop that I have). Do I have to get a more sophisticated version of Adobe Photoshop, or is there a way to get out of My Catalogue. I don't know how to get out of it -- I can't find a button or click or link or option that lets me out of it
Thx

Printing problems with Photoshop Album Starter Ed. 3.2 (Viewer)

Everytime I try to print a picture associated with Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 (Viewer) I get an error message saying it has "encountered a problem and needs to close." I will post the additional information it gives below. Can anyone please help!! Thank you very much! SCH
Error Signature:
AppName: componentlauncher.exe AppVer: 3.2.0.12228 ModName: print.dll
Technical Information about the error report: ......I can't get this information to copy and paste
ModVer: 3.2.0.12228 Offset: 0001321d

I would normally say reinstall, but since the program has been discontinued, and if you don't have your registration serial number, then the program will not unlock after 30 uses.
You could simply NOT print from the viewer, and print from within the program.
Or, you could have another program take over as the default viewer for jpeg files, and utilize another viewer (like Windows Picture and Fax viewer); instructions for changing here: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-xp/change-windows-default-picture-viewer/

Adode Photoshop Album Starter Edition Lock Out

HI I have been using a very old product for years called Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2, however it has locked me out of my old photos of my children. Does anyone know how to get in to access old photos as it is saying it is past registration timeframe.

Change jpeg to tiff

I am a new lightroom user. I have a catalog of 2600 images that are jpeg files. I would like to change to file type tiff.
What would be the best method to get things changed? THANKS for any suggestions.

Geoff the kiwi wrote:
If editing in PS or other jpegs there are very valid reasons for usin TIFFs.
Geoff,
the OP is talking about converting the thick end of 3000 jpegs into tiffs, and that's fairly pointless.
It'd only make any sense (and even then not a lot) if he intends to do multiple edits/saves on the files in a non-destructive way: but if he wants that tiff benefit, the files really should be tiffs from the start - all the advantages of 16 bits' worth of data are already gone, and any "damage" to the files caused by jpeg compression will be "baked in".
He's thrown the baby out with the bathwater if he's going from jpeg to tiff to - eventually - go back to jpeg.
As an aside, I'd use the batch conversion function in Irfanview to do the job.

A need to get photos of my baby from Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 but I don't have a code so I cannot access in it. Somebody can help me, please?

Two days ago I introduced photos of my baby into my PC and automatically went into the programm Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2. Then they were deleted of my photo camera. Then I wanted to access to the photos in the Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 but I read that since the end of Juny we need a decodification code and that now it is not availabel. So I don't have this code and I need to access to the photos. Please, somebody can help me?. Thank you.

Thank you for your help, Gunjan, but I have already tried to contact adobe tech support and I cannot get a code still now. I just find fixed issues where there is not shown my problem and I cannot find the way to write my question about my need of a code for Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2. Could you or somebody tell me the way to get the code through adobe.
Thank you

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't open a PDF file with acrobat photoshop album starter 3.0

scanned pictures and saved them as a PDF file in another computer. I think the version was 6 (but not sure). I downloaded acrobat reader (version + acrobat Photoshop to my computer.
now I'm trying to open the files in order to make some changes in the photos (cut them and so on), but I cant open them. can open them with the acrobat reader. but not with adobe Photoshop album started 3.0. I am getting a massage saying "the PDF file foes not contain any photos" and it shows the location of the file. the file definitely contains photos. what do I need to do?
thanks for the help, nilli

Is it Photoshop Starter Edition that is giving your the No Photos message or is it Reader?
If the PDF has photos in it, and you open it with Reader, you should see a toolbar called Picture Tasks. Picture Tasks will let you extract the photos.

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!

Starter Edition Answer

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!

Version of Adobe Photoshop Album Starter 3.0?

How do I access photos just downloaded in error to an EXPIRED edition of Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Version 3.0?

What you see is a low resolution remnant of the original files, not the files themselves. When a photo is 'imported' into the program, a small thumbnail is drawn, and cached to the database; if the original source files were moved or deleted, then all that remains are the low resolution remnants, not the files themselves.
There have been a few that have figured out how to open the Starter Edition database, and strip out the low resolution thumbnails, but I could not offer advice on how to do that. I would just take screen shots and save those as separate files, but they would be of very low quality.
