it a common misconception starter edition 'stores', or copies, your files it. program not move or copy files @ all, rather scans system's pictures directory, , generates miniature versions of pictures (called thumbnails) can browse 'flat' list of thumbnails of photos, overcoming the inconvenience of having go separate folders in windows explorer have find files.the thumbnails, tags, , albums create in starter edition stored in photoshop album catalog file, separate pictures, , pictures remain copied them computer.
if use photoshop album subsequently download files digital camera or scanner, default location program create files in pictures>digital camera photos folder. if you not use photoshop album starter edition download files your camera, find folder empty.
the thumbnails in starter edition catalog exist, if decide move or delete the original photos added program. cause files in photoshop album catalog become 'disconnected' original photos. reconnect files, can use file>reconnect missing files command see if program can locate original files in new location, , once again re-link catalog thumbnails files once referenced.
since photoshop album has been discontinued, i recommend folks find alternative solution. 1 alternative that preserve of you've created in starter edition the photoshop elements 8 trial. install that, , automatically convert photoshop album catalog current format, , program not time out, starter edition did. if want purchase more editing power, can choose purchase full program, but it's not required.
if many have come forum wondering how can photos, program has become locked or expired, don't worry; photos have never been moved photoshop album; remain wherever intially put them, on hard drive. them, can navigate file system using windows explorer. typically in documents>my pictures folder. here handy how-to refer to find photos on your system, other tips how can use folders keep photos organized: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/maintain/filemgmt.mspx
