Adobe Photoshop Album is a software application by Adobe Systems designed to import, organize and edit digital photos, and allows quick and easy searching and sharing of entire photo collections. It is often compared to Apple Inc.'s iPhoto and Google's Picasa.
Adobe Photoshop Album was initially released on February 18, 2003. The last version was Photoshop Album 2.0.1, which was released on March 18, 2004. Adobe has discontinued the full version of Photoshop Album and instead recommends Adobe Photoshop Elements.
However, a freeware version is now provided, Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 (Windows-only). Photoshop Album Starter Edition includes features like red-eye correction, brightness adjustment and calendar view. The Starter Edition allows using the program for a certain number of times until it prompts for registration for continued usage.
One notable feature of Album is its pervasive use of a tag-based as opposed to a folder-based organization of pictures. This allows photos to be organized into multiple cross-cutting categories. For instance, a photo could be tagged with "Mom" and "Florence Vacation" to indicate that your mother appears in the photo and that it was taken over a vacation in Florence. Selecting either tag would gather all photos also tagged with "Mom", or all photos tagged with "Florence". This can be less convenient in a folder-based scheme, but allows for more dynamic organizing of photos. Tags themselves can be grouped hierarchically and separated into different categories and sub-categories.
