You can still look at Michael Slater's website care of ( Enjoying Digital Photography with Photoshop Album). He then followed that up with his updated book "Organize Your Photos with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0" which you can pick up second-hand on Amazon ( Organize Your Photos with Adobe Photoshop Elements 3). You can have a look at the book on the Open Library ( The Photoshop Album 2.0 Book). Michael Slater wrote a great book about Photoshop Abum called "The Photoshop Album 2.0 Book" and much of it is still relevant to the Organizer today. By the time Photoshop Elements 3.0 came out, Photoshop Album was fully-integrated into the Elements package. Photoshop Album was released in January 2003 with version 2.0 coming out soon after, and was made available for a time as a bundle together with Photoshop Elements 2.0. After changing the company name to Fotiva, Adobe ended up buying the company in December 2001, with Michael Slater and many of the Fotiva staff joining Adobe. Yeah, Photoshop Album was originally called PhotoTablet and was conceived by Michael Slater back in Novermber 1999.

It's also interesting to see how the concept of today's Guided Edits were present in the original version, albeit under the guise of "Recipes". There's obviously been some big changes between the original and current Photoshop Elements releases, the biggest one being there was originally no Organizer! That was rectified a couple of versions later when Photoshop Album was fully integrated into the Elements family (along with Premiere Elements). Previously announced back in February of that year, Photoshop Elements took over from Photoshop LE and PhotoDeluxe as the go-to app for those people who didn't really need, or couldn't afford, the more fully-featured Photoshop.
