Photoshop Album Starter Edition doesn't link to Elements 3.0

I own both Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition and Photoshop Elements 3.0 and they run fine independently. At various times while in album starter, when I choose "Go to Standard Edit Photoshop Elements" to edit a photo, it will offer me to purchase Elements 3.0 - but I already own it - help

Hi,does anyone know if Photoshop Album Starter Edition can be used to view Elements 3 collection with captions and notes,in an editable form? or any way, So I don't have to buy multiplw Elements for family tree.
Thank You
For any 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).

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!

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

Lost Photos in Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2

My email stated that my photos were transfered to Revel. Only one photo switched. The rest are stuck at Adobe Photoshop Album starter edition 3.2. I can see my photos are sitting there but are stuck behind the product registeration looking for a product unlock code. This product stopped being supported in 2009. So, I have no unlock code. I was able to access my photos in the beginning of May but now that it transfered to Revel, they are being held hostage.

Files were only copied from Photoshop.com to Revel, not from any other place. You may try this link to see if you can unlock your other files, and then you can upload them to Revel from your hard drive:

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

How can I transfer my Photos INCLUDING tags from Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 on a new?

I have some thousand photos on my old PC using Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2.
How can I transfer them on a new PC (and a new more professional photoshop edition) without losing the tags?
Thanks for any help.

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?

The migration is from Photoshop.com sharing and storage to Revel only. If you have jpg files in Photoshop.com and you did not opt out, then files migrate to Revel automatically. Files on your computer are not touched.
Just so you know, the support for Adobe Starter Edition ended in 2009. Here is a link to related questions and answers.

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.

Photoshop album starter edition 3.2 and kodak camera

I have a kodak m753 digital camera and adobe photoshop album starter edition 3.2 says device not found. how do i get it to recognize the camera without deleting the kodak software. I have windows xp if that helps.

the camera is attached using a usb cable. windows explorer? do you mean internet explorer? i can look at the pictures in the kodak software it recognizes the camera but adobe doesn't. In order to get the pictures into adobe takes jumping through hoops. I prefer to use adobe because it is easier to get photos into emails etc. I just can't get them from the camera to adobe directly. I think the kodak software overrides adobe. Even if i shut down the kodak software adobe will not recognize that i have a camera connected to the computer. When i look in the folder called cameras and scanners it too doesn't list the camera. when i tried installing the camera it allways asks for the disc (which includes the kodak software)

Adode Photoshop Album Starter Edition Lock Out

Re: unlock code to Photoshop album Starter Edition 3

I too have got problems with the Photoshop Album Starter Edition Album. My photos are locked in there from 2006 onwards and without any warning I am now unable to access them. The on screen message asks me to register with Adobe for an unlock code and when I tried this the reply came back that the product is no longer supported by Adobe. I rang their customer services (UK) and they told me they no longer supported this product and to contact an IT support man!!!!
Appalled at this. Thanks Adobe - I think not. Anybody else offer me support in overcoming this problem? Thanks.

Adobe Poor,
You're not alone in wondering about how to get photos 'out' of Starter Edition. There are a few posts like this in the forum, all of which are based on the false assumption that Starter Edition has exclusive access to the photos that appear to be 'in' the program.
