It doesn't seem possible to go directly from Album to PSE7. You need to get a hold of a copy of PSE5 and convert your catalog to v5 then convert that to v7.

Trial copies of v5 can be found on cds that came with how to books and computer magazines. If you ask in the elements forum someone may be able to point you to an online copy.

Here is a similar thread in the Elements forum: <http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b748e3>

Hello Karin- thank you for your kind replay.

I have now tried to find a trial PSE 5 but without any success.
I have a Digitalfoto magasin here in Norway, but on the CD's there only a link to the www.adobe.com, but there are no more PSE 5 there.

So can anybody help me with a PSE 5 -so I can convert my 17.000 pictures from PSA 2 to PSE 7??

PLEASE-PLEASE!!!

Regards
Einarg
