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
/Nils

  • 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 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.

    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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • Convert catalog from Adobe Photoshop Album starter edition 3.0 to 3.2

    Hello
    I am using Adobe Photoshop Album starter edition 3.0 for years.
    1.- I have upgraded to 3.2 now, but I don't know how to convert the catalog from the old version to the new version. Where is this documented?
    2.- By default Adobe installs the catalog file on c:\documents and settings\all users\... - I have now installed adobe on another drive, D. But still the catalog is by default saved under c:\documents and settings\all users\... I need to have it on another location. How can I change the catalog file location?
    Thank you.

  • 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?
