Dbooth,
Right-click on an image, and choose "Edit in Photoshop Elements…" PSE will launch (if not already running), and you’ll be able to edit your image. Once you close PSE, PSA (Album) will offer you the choice to keep the changes, discard them, or create a copy (if my memory is ok, I haven’t used it in months now).
One other way is to first, launch Elements. Then, in Album, click and hold a picture, drag it onto the task bar until Photoshop Elements becomes the active window, then drag the picture on an empty space on the background of Elements (they gray part of the screen), then release the mouse button.
You may also consider posting future questions about Photoshop Album in the designated Photoshop Album forum, if they’re Album related only that is.

Bring your image into Album. Choose Edit>Preferences. When the Preferences dialog box appears choose Editing in the left hand column. Check to see if Photoshop Elements 2.0 is selected. If not, browse to select it. Click OK. Now in the Menu bar go to Edit>Edit with Photoshop Elements. You will be taken into Photoshop Elements and your image will appear there ready to be edited. When you have finished editing your image, save the changes without changing the file’s name. Close the image and switch back to Album. Your edited image will be there. If you don’t want to save the changes, right click the image and click on Revert to Original. Your images are not actually stored in Album, but remain in their orignal location (in my case in folders in My Pictures). When you import an image into Album, a proxy image is created in Album that points back to the original. That’s why it’s so important not to move your images around from location to location or folder to folder, as when that is done Album can no longer find them. I hope this is helpful.
