Missing the Index:  Photoshop CS5 Help Documentation (photoshop_cs5_help.pdf)

I have downloaded and use the Photoshop help PDF (photoshop_cs5_help.pdf) fairly extensively, but it's missing one key element: the index.  The index, of course, is invaluable when trying to search for a solution to a problem.  The previous PDF for cs4 had an index.  I'm wondering if the index is under development - or, heaven forbid, if it's being eliminated.
Thanks in advance.

Ron,
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the Product Marketing Manager gave up the Index, if he fought for us end users at all? I cannot imagine with such a complex product why they would scrap it! Cost savings is my guess. My vote would have been to leave out a new feature or two and leave the index in.

    If in photoshop cs4 you go Help>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
    Check both the 32 and 64 bit versions of photoshop cs4.
    I just tested a couple of canon T5I (700D) files from here and they open in photoshop cs4 with camera raw 5.7 after the dng conversion using the 8.6 dng converter.

  • My LR2 is missing the templates can anyone help?

    I am in LR2, print mode/contact sheet/grid. I have 36 photo's I am attempting to template in a 4x5 contact sheet.
    However my templates are empty and I am so new to the program I do not know what to do. This assignment is due today and I have ran out of options on what to do or where to go.
    When I click on the contact sheet/grid it is only showing me one of the 36 photos I have and according to the school tutorial it is suppose to show me all the pictures.
    Can anyone help???? I am so very lost and frustrated.

    It was until my son came home and said, "Mom you have to do it like this......" I feel like such an idiot. I do thank you for asking.
    My other issue is that every time I attempt to move the pictures from my memory card in RAW format into LR2, it tells me the files or corrupt. However I can use my other conversion program and they will convert. The only issue with this is it makes my teacher mad that I am not doing it through LR2. I do not know why it is telling me the RAW files are corrupt and the other program will open them.
    This has been my luck with this program, and yes I am new to using it.
    Thank you for your time.
    Thank you!!Tammy

  • Can I insert pretest questions as knowledge checks between content slides and before a graded quiz without affecting the scoring of the graded quiz? Help documentation states that they should be used before a course begins.

    Can I insert pretest questions as knowledge checks between content slides and before a graded quiz without affecting the scoring of the graded quiz? Help documentation states that they should be used before a course begins.
    If I use both pretest questions and graded questions, can I also include remedial with return to quiz for both?

    Sorry, but I gave two workarounds: my preference is custom question slides, but you can also have questions slides where you do not add the score to the Total score. They will not be reported to the LMS and can act as Knowledge slides. Only some quizzing system variables can count all question slides, including the Knowledge slides, but the core variables (score, maximum score, percentage) will be correct. Here some links to my blog, that could help you:
    System variables in Captivate 8 - Captivate blog
    Intermediate Score Slides - Captivate blog
    That each SCORM module can have only one quiz is a SCORM requirement, not a a Captivate specific feature. Camtasia is bit difficult to compare, it is not a fully blown authoring tool although the best video screen capture tool around (video is non interactive by definition). I don't use Storyline, but cannot imagine that they shouldn't create SCORM-compliant files.

  • Photoshop CS5 help

    I can no longer open up my Photoshop CS5 (not a trial)....Everytime I click to run it it gets to the startup screen and then just freezes. I have tried shutting my computer down, restarting but nothing is helping. Lightroom and Bridge open just fine? HELP

    That is your problem.  Disable it and see if it works well.  If so get updates to it and see it that fixes it.
    Hope this solves the problem.

  • Photoshop CS5 "Help" function not working - Adobe Air error message?

    Installed Photoshop CS5, and thought everything was working okay, but when I click on Photoshop Help, I get the error message "Adobe Air - This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing......" I have re-installed first Adobe Air, same problem and then uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop CS5, but the problem remains. When I first tried to use the Help function it tried to update something and for some reason this failed. I'm wondering if others have seen the same problem and know of a solution? Thanks, David.

    Hello:  there may be a configuration issue going on here.  I have escalated this issue to our Help app engineering team. In the meanwhile, please try the following:
    Uninstall the Adobe Help application: go to your Application folder > Adobe > Adobe Help (drag it to the Trash)
    Delete the following directory:
    USER NAME (home) > Library > Preferences > chc.4875E02D9FB21EE389F73B8D1702B320485DF8CE.
    Empty the Trash
    Manually update the application via this link: http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/
    Select "Photoshop" in Step 1 and then click the Install badge in Step 2.  Make sure to select "Open" (and not Save) in the installation dialog box to fully update the app.
    Note: The previous instructions did not include deleting the old application or its preference file. This will help ensure that it is thoroughly updated.

  • Photoshop CS5 Help doesn't work

    I just installed Master Collection CS5 today.
    I discovered that the keyboard shortcuts for changing Brush Hardness (Ctrl-Option-Cmd) now activates something else.
    First thing I did was goto Photoshop Help, just to find out that the fancy new Air Help app doesn't work. It says something like "this installation is damaged, reinstall or call adobe."
    Well I put the disc back in and there's no option in install the Help app.
    So...  I have no Help now. Any ideas?

    Make Layer 3 active and select all (Ctrl-A) and copy it (Ctrl-C).
    Alt-click on the empty mask thumbnail, that will give you a white work area.
    Click on it and paste (Ctrl-V).

  • I have to tweak the registry key for the adobe photoshop cs5 bugs

    i have to change the registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\DefaultLanguage\CS5]
    "AdobeProductLanguage"="en_GB" or IT
    to en_US or french to have the export extension
    now i setup AdobeProductLanguage=en_US
    does the shortcuts/hotkey change ?

    thanks
    i care a lot about that
    cheers

    Hello Steve,
    I can go on and am offered the choice to download content fron the adobe site ...
    I didn't do that up to now. I tried to reinstall from the content-DVD which doesn't work
    until you uninstall the (already installed) content and reinstall it later on.
    In fact the content is missing, if you try to continue without reinstalling the contents!
    The most curious thing to me is the fact that this happens incidently ....
    It may happen on the very next start of Premiere Elements 10, it may happen
    some days later after maybe 10 restarts of the software.
    Thank you very much for your reply ...
    greeting from Dortmund (Germany)

  • Importing RAW from Canon 6D using LR3/Photoshop CS5 - help!

    I'm using light room 3 and Photoshop/bridge CS5.
    I just got a new camera – a Canon 6D and none of the programs will read the files. It is indicated I need a new plug-in to support the camera – camera raw plug-in/supported cameras indicates a 60 is supported.
    I found a support patch and downloaded: DNGConverter_7_3.exe.part and the application file:DNGConverter_7_3 (the application file size is indicated as 0 kB)
    Neither Program Will Run under Windows 7 and I still can't open any of the raw files from my Canon 6D camera.
    Any Suggestions?

    The EOS 6D was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 and Lightroom 4.3
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Camera Raw 7.3 is only compatible with Photoshop CS6 and higher. It is not compatible with CS5

  • What's the Best Photoshop CS5 Scratch Disk Setup for New MacPro 12 Core?

    Hello all...
    I'm awaiting delivery of a new MacPro 12 Core with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD drive (Bay1) + 2TB (Bay2) + 2TB (Bay3). Normally I would partition about 60GB of one of the 2TB drives to make an exclusive scratch disk for Photoshop to ensure optimum performance.... with the new spec MacPro and especially the new 512GB SSD, do I still need to do this..?
    Any suggestions of comments most welcome... as I want to try to get my new machine set up as best I can before I start copying over my existing data and filling hard drives etc. Photoshop CS5 and Quark Express 8 are my two core apps that I use daily.

    …Well yes, technically you've got me on that I will admit.  I'll try to rephrase to be a bit more accurate. The best scratch disk is one you don't need to rely on performance wise, by having enough RAM to handle the data performance needy tasks that would otherwise be sent to the scratch disk, when enough RAM can't be accessed by Photoshop…
    …Hows that?
    Still wrong, alas.  
    The scratch disk is used always.
    See this very short (two-message) thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2847996#2847996
    Excerpt:
    [Chris Cox writes:]
    …Photoshop needs to allocate scratch space for data, in case it needs to
    write that data to disk later -- otherwise you would randomly fail with
    "out of scratch space" in the MIDDLE of an operation…
    Furthermore, Photoshop sets the size of the scratch disk ahead of time—the instant you open an image file or create a new document—basing it on assumptions the application makes taking into account your usual, past workflow practices, your settings and the pixel dimensions of the document.
    Bottom line:  the scratch disk always plays a part.
    Do a forum search filtering the options with Chris Cox in the "Who" box, "scratch" as key word, and Photoshop Macintosh as the forum.  You'll find some enlightening reading.  Examples:

  • Animation in Photoshop CS5 help

    I recently got Photoshop CS5 and have made an animation.
    Its 20.4MB with 92 frames and when I go to Save for Web & Devices and save the animation, an error comes up that says 'Could not complete this operation. There was not enough memory available'
    I try to Save As... the animation as a CompuServe GIF but the image comes out flat
    Is there any way I can make the file smaller so it can be saved as a GIF animation or how can I make this work?
    Thanks

    Of course GIF can save animations with multiple Frames which are represented by multiple layers in the document.  I don't think PNG can do animation at all, however.
    Have you tried altering the amount of RAM you have allocated to Photoshop in the Edit - Preferences - Performance menu?

  • Photoshop CS5 HELP- batch processing/ actions

    For work i have to put a watermark on 300+ images. Ive created the action to add a watermark. But everytime i try to run the batch it tells me "move is not currently available" "Transform is not currently available"  So nothing then happens to the file.  Please help. thank you.

    With a Path selected in the Paths Panel it can be included into an Action via »Insert Path« from the Actions Panel’s fly-out menu.
    You can then use the Path as a Vector Mask for a Solid Color Layer for example.
    Transformation should be applicable to that – could you post a screenshot of the Action’s steps?
