Lesson 2

Installing The Program

This program is available as a retail download from Adobe. The download process was covered in Lesson #1.

It is also available on CD from Adobe and other retailers, or in a bundle with some new digital cameras.

Introduction

In this lesson, we will cover the installation of the Album 2.0 Full Version program.

The initial instructions vary slightly at the start, depending on whether you downloaded the program or have it on a CD.

We will cover the installation, registration and commencement of the program.

If you have a CD version of the program, either from retail purchase or as part of a bundle with a new camera, skip steps #1 - 3 and go directly to step #4

If you downloaded the program on-line from Adobe, start with steps #1 - 3, skip steps #4 – 6 and start again at step #7.

Installation

After completing the download, the icon below will appear on your desktop.

This is the “Installer Program”, not the Album Full Program itself.

We still have to install the program, so double click on the icon:

If you have set up your account in the past, enter your “Adobe ID” and your “Password”.

If you do not have an account, click on:

[ Register ]

Adobe thanks you for registering.

When you start the program, the “Quick Guide” will appear on the screen.

This gives you an overview of the features of the program.

It may be useful at first.

It will continue to show up whenever you start the program as long as it is checked to do so, as illustrated.

When you do not want the “Quick Guide” to show up at the start of the program any more, just uncheck the box in the bottom left corner.

It is possible that during the installation phase, you did not have your serial number available.

You can still finish the installation. Adobe gives you a grace period to register.

If you wish to register later, go to the Main Menu and click on:

[ Help ]

Then click on:
