1. Re: Adobe Album Import (bad)
(Jonah_Garoutte) Feb 22, 2007 10:07 AM (in response to Eric Stoffers)If Album works for you and you want to upgrade, the Album upgrade path is actually Photoshop Elements. After Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 and the Starter Album 3.0, Adobe incorporated it into the Photoshop Elements software as the Photoshop Elements Organizer. It will import your Photoshop Album 2.0 catalog with no problem and give added support for new RAW images with the updated Adobe Camera RAW. Lightroom is and never was meant to be an upgrade path for Album. It is a completely new product for a completely different type of use and user.
(By the way, I do agree with you that Lightroom, if it was going to include an "Import from Elements" option should have made it completely compatible . . . I've spent about 5-7 hours "fixing" my imported catalog and still have some problems that I am currently living with at the moment). -

I'm not sure I would agree with that. In many ways Lightroom is the natural successor to Album, which (for me at least) has provided a very clean and simple way to manage a digital photo collection with basic photo adjustment and export tools.

Eric Stoffers Feb 22, 2007 1:36 PM (in response to Eric Stoffers)It's too bad. I want professional photo management but don't want all the other cheesy crap that comes along with Elements. I'm a professional web developer who uses Photoshop. But I'm not a photographer. I don't want all the bells and whistles, just photo management.
I can't believe Adobe of all companies doesn't have a product to fill this space. I know there are other companies out there and alot of good products. It just would have been nice to stick with Adobe and be able to import my Adobe Album library into a new tool. Bummer. I don't think Literoom is the tool for me. -
