Missing Details in Adobe's PDF User Guide

Does anyone know where to find the following documentation:
1) A more precise description of numerous commands that are poorly specified (or not at all) in Adobe's PDF, "Using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2" (e.g., "Promote Subfolders..." and "Update Folder Location...")?
2) An exhaustive list of all commands that actually make changes to either the directory structure or the image files on the hard disk (as opposed to just to the Lightroom catalog)?
3) I'm sure there are other missing details for which others have had to request clarification in this forum or elsewhere. What are your favorite references?
Thanks in Advance -- JClarkW

Thanks, blzrdphoto, but that link appears identical to Adobe's PDF, "Using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2" (lightroom_2_help.pdf), whichI was able to download from somewhere. -- JClarkW
The link is the same, but the actual content changes often. One can find the date of the most recent update at the bottom of the first page in the pdf (link in upper left). Currently the most recent update is June 25.
Now whether any of the updates will address any specific deficiency/error is unknown unless one looks deeper--if only Adobe published a page of the recent changes at the beginning...

To Adobe Management - Multi-User guide request.

I would like to formally request that some kind of guidebook or whitepaper be produced by Adobe providing a clear workflow for Lightroom when more than one computer is involved in accessing the original files.
Start with one assumption: the original images are on a Network drive.
As far as I can tell, the only way to do this with any effectiveness is to sneaker-net a USB drive that contains the catalog and previews, and if necessary re-find the originals when needed by re-pointing for the lost folder.
It is still single user, but it works.
What is the OFFICIAL Adobe workflow design for more than one person using Lightroom?

The "Official Talking point" that seems to be parroted over and over when discussing sharing a catalog between computers is that it is "not supported", but that is totally unhelpful.
The fact is that there are situations where more than one photographer needs to work with a catalog. It may not be possible to do so at the very same time as another photographer, but it is possible to share a catalog one person / computer at a time.
This also helps if you need to use Lightroom on more than one computer, or consolidate from laptop to central storage after a field session.
The scenario is that that two photographers are working on their own photo sets from an event in order to share the workload. Each photographer took his/her own photos, and needs to remove the trash, renumber the photos, do initial ranking, etc, but in the end the photos need to be consolidated into a single location and library, so all the photos can be seen as a cohesive group,
Here are the basic steps that work for me:
a) On their own computers, each photographer downloads their own photos and eventually imports them to their own local catalog, either existing or new.
b) Sort, rank and cleanup the photos, as you would always do, independently on each computer.
c) Both photographers when done perform an "Export Catalog" and check 'include negatives', and place them both at their final location on the NAS device. This will create two standalone catalogs and copy the original files to their new final location. The catalogs are temporary and can be deleted later after they are consolidated,
d) Consolidate the catalogs onto a USB drive. This is what will allow the catalog to be relatively easy to be shared by both photographers by passing the USB drive back and forth between computers.
- When everyone is done exporting their catalogs to the NAS, one photographer creates a NEW catalog, or opens an existing catalog on a designated USB drive that will be used for sharing the catalog. We use a 2.5 inch 100 GB pocketdrive.
- The temporary catalogs on the NAS are imported into the new or existing catalog on the USB drive.
- After the catalog import is done, it may be necessary to right click on a folder and 'Locate Missing Folder' to point back to the originals on the NAS device.
- To improve performance, if time allows a 'Library -> Previews -> Render Standard-Sized Previews' should be done in the new catalog in order to make sure that the preview set is up to date. This can take a long time.
At this point you have a catalog on the USB drive that can be easily shared between computers, just by plugging the USB drive in and opening the catalog file directly from the USB drive.
If you are using only Mac systems, there should be no need to find the originals again when the drive is moved between computers. You just need to have a connection to the NAS established BEFORE you open the Lightroom catalog.
If you are using only PC systems, there should be no need to find the originals again, as long as the NAS is mapped to a similar drive letter and path.
If you are using a mix of Mac and PC, you will probably have to do a "Locate missing folder" each time the USB drive swiitches between system types in order to remap the catalog to the right location.
==========
In reality, doing sneakernet with these catalogs is pretty ridiculous given the state of modern databases and networked computers, but we are not given a choice in this case.
If anyone has any ideas on how to improve this method of consolidating then sharing workflows, I would appreciate your input.

Acrobat 9 user guide? help files????

I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.5
When I click on help I get an HTML page:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/Common%20Files/Adobe/Help/en_US/Acrobat%20Pro/9.0/help.html?con tent=WS76F8368A-2F01-421d-9437-06EEB1C68BA4.html
all it does is list community help, user forums, tutorials and articles..... there's a nice search box on the left, but anything I type in there results in absolutely nothing happening.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS.... Is it too much to ask for, for an actual user guide that I can see a table of contents and search through it? How about a PDF User Guide? If there is one, why don't they show us where it is? You'd think for this amount of money it would include a user guide.

You can download the Acrobat 9 Help file (in a PDF form) here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/acrobat_pro_9.0_help.pdf
If you'd like to access the most up-to-date Acrobat 9 Help content, please visit: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/index.html
Sorry for the trouble you've had. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Comprehensive User Guide for Creator now available

A superb PDF user guide on Creator has just been released at http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/reference/pdf/creator_prog_guide.pdf. It's an all-in-one reference. The Introduction chapter gives an excellent overview of what Creator is and can do. This chapter guides the reader to later chapters for deeper dives as needed.

There are differences between Java Studio Creator and NetBeans Visual Web Pack 5.5, particularly with certain Creator features that won't be available until a future NetBeans release. Keeping these differences in mind, for now this is the best source of consolidated information for VWP users.

Lenvo User Guide doesn't want open the pdf file. Why!?

Lenvo User Guide application doesn't want open the pdf file after selecting my language. I have Adobe Reader installed on my laptop and application is from oryginal Lenovo cd with drivers. I don't know why. Earlier it worked perfectly. I installed and reinstalled it many times but the problem still exist. Does anybody know the solution?

hi tora117,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Can you try right clicking the User guide file and go to General tab and check if the "open with" settings is set to Adobe Reader.
If still won't work download a new User guide from www.support.lenovo.com
Home this helps

WAP54G User Guide PDF does not load/run

I just bought this router and either PDF (Install and User Guide will no load

The WAP54G is a "wireless access point", not a router.
To read a PDF file, you must have "Adobe Reader" installed on your computer. It is available at adobe.com
If you have the reader, and you still have a problem opening the PDF file that came with the WAP54G, then download the User Guide from the Linksys.com website. Look on the Support page.

User Guide Launches Adobe Acrobat 5 for OS 9

When I go to the Help menu & pull down to User Guide it launches Adobe Acrobat 5 for OS 9. At first it would just give the spinning wheel until I rebooted. Then I went to Get Info for the old version & checked the box "Open in the Classic environment". Now it launches the Classic environment, then launches Acrobat Reader 5. How can I get the User Guide to use Adobe Reader 7.0.8? I can't find the Help document to make the change. Any help you can provide is very much appreciated.

Possible but it depends upon you needs.
A Bootstrapper installation will be big but it has the benifit of being able to install any update type (security or quarterly).
Administrative Installation Point has the benefit of being smaller but if there is a security update you have to uninstall the entire thing and install a new AIP with the security Update built into it.

Is it possible to purchase Adobe Premiere Elements 13 user guide

Is it possible to purchase Adobe Premiere Elements 13 user guide.

learnerinneed
Thanks for the follow up. With the cost of ink and paper these days, the Help PDF shines as a PDF file saved to the computer hard drive for reference. In the later versions, the PDF has hundred plus pages.
I did purchase Photoshop Elements 6 and Premiere Elements 4 in the box packaging when they were released. I still have them installed on my computer even when I went on to later versions and other computer operating systems. I have not looked at what was in the box since the purchase. I looked tonight in the box to refresh my memory as to what User Manual might have been included.
What I found for Premiere Elements 4 in the way of a User Manual as a 23 page booklet titled
Adobe
Premiere
Elements 4
Getting Started Guide
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Is this the Premiere Elements Users Manual for PE4 to which you referred?
We would be glad for the opportunity to be of assistance in threads if you have questions about the program and need clarification on anything written here or elsewhere on the program's features and workflows. If you are used to working with Premiere Elements 4, then period of adjustment will set in...major change in features and workspaces with versions later than 10. Principles tend to remain the same, but it is very frustrating to be armed with principles when you cannot find a feature.
We are not Adobe here...rather user to user. And, this user wants you to succeed. Exploration and experimentation are major tools for success.
Best wishes

I have downloaded Photoshop elements 5.0 to a new PC. I recieve error message: "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit."

I was referred here by customer service. I have downloaded Photoshop elements 5.0 to a new PC. After accepting the agreement I receive an error message saying "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit." There is no place to enter the serial number.

All your pictures will remain safe even after uninstalling the program. Your pictures are saved to your system in form of catalog present at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<your catalog><br />When you reinstall the program you can open this catalog and view all your photos again.

Have been here before but still have not resolved a fix for a black screen when I try to access a PDF file using Safari...Now I've got a new iPad and need the User Guide which is only available in PDF and FireFox will not work.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
