PE4: Elements Help Feature

I did the Help v4 download/install and ran AHC.EXE, so this has been done and I still get the following...and wonder if this is happening to others?
Open Elements v4, goto menu > Photoshop Elements Help. There is a dropdown next to "FOR" near the top of the window. At first it goes to Adobe Help Center 2.0, then it goes to Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0. A slight hesitation when it does that. Just curious to know if this is happening to other people too.
Open any photo in Elements. Goto Menu > Enhance > Adjust Color > Adjust Hue/Saturation. In this window I see two help links. One says Learn More About Hue/Saturation and the other is the typical Help Button. When clicking the Learn More About, it takes me to the Hue/Saturation Help. However when I click on the Help Button, a message pops up "The topic you selected in Photoshop Elements, is not installed. To see this topic install Photoshop Elements. Is this happening to other people too?
Close Elements. Goto Windows START, find the shortcut for Adobe Help Center and click on it. No message, but the help window is showing Adobe Help Center 2.0, I have to go to the dropdown and manually click on the Elements v4 Help. Again, is this happening to others?
Thank You,
Tony (Win XP Pro)

Hi
You can use Portal Content Areas to create help for your entire application. You can have a wizard based experience to
add text, upload html pages, images.

Hi Prabhuram and falez,
This issue appears where there are any inconsistencies in your catalog (generally for video files). This issue may be due to offline files, missing files, video scenes. The recommendation here would be to fix these inconsistencies and try again. If that doesn't solve the issue, please follow steps mentioned in email by me.

How to implement a help feature in iView Tray

How to implement a help feature in an iView Tray?

Hi Gregor,
Could the answer be connected to the class com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.SystemModes ?
I can't really see how this class is called, but it gives the error message you are talking about
The method doHelp for SP2 Patch3 is provided below
public void doHelp(IPortalComponentRequest aRequest, IPortalComponentResponse aResponse)
 IPortalComponentContext context = aRequest.getComponentContext(IPOMConstants.DEFAULT_MODE);
 IPortalComponentProfile profile = context.getProfile();
 String helpName = profile.getProperty("com.sap.portal.iview.HelpName");
 if(helpName == null)
 helpName = profile.getProperty("HelpName");
 String helpURL = profile.getProperty("com.sap.portal.iview.HelpURL");
 String isolationMode = profile.getProperty("com.sap.portal.reserved.iview.IsolationMode");
 if(context != null)
 if(helpName != null)
 String componentName = context.getComponentName();
 Locale locale = aRequest.getLocale();
 String language = locale.getLanguage();
 String helpPath = "help/" + language + "/" + helpName;
 IResource resource = aRequest.getResource(componentName, "page", helpPath);
 if(resource.isAvailable())
 aResponse.addResource(resource);
 else

 } else

 if(helpURL.startsWith("http://"))
 if(isolationMode != null && isolationMode.equals("URL"))

 frame.setStyle("width:100%; height: 100%;");
 frame.setSrc(helpURL);
 aResponse.write(frame.toString());
 } else
 String componentName = null;
 if(helpURL.charAt(0) != '/')
 componentName = context.getComponentName();
 } else

 aResponse.addResource(resource);
 else

 } else

The doOnNodeReady method is also rather interesting. Perhaps another way to solve it?
protected void doOnNodeReady(IPortalComponentRequest request, IEvent event)
 NodeMode nodeMode = request.getNode().getNodeMode();
 if(nodeMode == NodeMode.HELP_MODE)
 IPortalComponentContext context = request.getComponentContext(IPOMConstants.DEFAULT_MODE);
 IPortalComponentProfile profile = context.getProfile();
 String helpName = profile.getProperty("com.sap.portal.iview.HelpName");
 if(helpName == null)
 helpName = profile.getProperty("HelpName");
 String helpURL = profile.getProperty("com.sap.portal.iview.HelpURL");
 String isolationMode = profile.getProperty("com.sap.portal.reserved.iview.IsolationMode");
 if(context != null && helpName == null && helpURL != null && helpURL.length() > 0 && (isolationMode != null && !isolationMode.equals("URL") || isolationMode == null) && helpURL.startsWith("http://"))
 request.redirect(helpURL);

What happened to the help feature in CS5

Prior Photoshop versions had a help feature that brought up a document where topics could be easily located in an index. In CS5 this help functionality no longer exists, or I can not find it. Instead there is some new help document that contains no index of subjects and when you try and search for a topic it returns articles not just for CS5 but for earlier versions. This is confusing, I just want to easily locate a particular topic for CS5 only. Is this no longer possible in CS5? If not, why was it dropped?

As Zeno mentioned, you can restrict the search to just the Photoshop CS5 Help document by checking the "This reference only" checkbox. Click here for an example of such a search.
Regarding the lack of an index: Are you referring to the navigation pane (sometimes referred to as a table of contents) on the left side of every page, or are you referring to something else? Either way, I encourage you to give your feedback on the Community Help forum. The people who can affect this system are on that forum.

Photoshop Elements Help | Organize your photos in albums and album categories

I have now downloaded all the pictures in my camera directly into PSE Organiser. The pictures are all in folders listed by date the pictures were taken. Are they now safely housed in the PSE program?
PSE does not contain your photos. The photos are on your hard disk(s) somewhere, wherever they were put when they were moved from the camera to the hard disk (might be the default location chosen by PSE).
Can I delete the old Canon programs, which are still sitting on my Mac?
Yes
And if I want to back up on an external hard-drive, how do I do that? Just drag the whole lot across?
Your interest in making backups is to be commended.
There are many ways to make backups, including the way you just suggested. You can also create a backup using PSE (which I recommend) since it includes the photos and the very important catalog file. In PSE, File->Backup Catalog, and set the destination of the backup to your external HD. Remember to do this regularly.
Sometimes when I've used 'Smart Fix" or other tools in the Photo Fix toolbox, I'm not happy with the result. But how can I 'undo' a fix and revert to how it was before?
PSE should create a version set when you do any editing, including the Smart Fix. Thus, you just need to expand the version set (right-click on the photo) to see both the original and the Smart Fix. Then you can delete the Smart Fix version.
-- I want to create an album "Europe 2012", and within it categories for UK, France, Italy etc. But although I hit 'create album category' when Europe 2012 is highlighted, the category just attaches to the last listed album - something completely unrelated. How do I ensure categories are within the correct albums?
I'm going to strongly recommend you don't do this via albums (unless your intent is to share the contents of the albums online somehow, in which case use Albums). I recommend you use tags instead of albums for this purpose. You can create a tag called Europe under Places, and another tag under Europe called France. I would also recommend you not bother including year or other calendar information in the tag (or album) names. You want "Europe" as your tag, not "Europe 2012". Why? Because you can always segregate by year (or other calendar time period) using the PSE Timeline; there's no need to do extra work to segregate the tags by year (or other calendar time period).

Providing a user help feature

Hi,
I am developing an application and would like to provide the user of the application with a 'help' feature that would tell him how to use the application. I am pretty new to java and have no idea about how to go about doing this. Can anyone tell me what are the various ways in which this can be achieved?
Thanks a lot.

CS6 HELP feature

Why does the HELP feature of my new CS6 (Dreamweaver) produce help only for CS5?
Today, I need to know how to set linked documents to open in new window, but CS5 process is not possible, or so it seems. Can anyone enlighten?

The PDF files at http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver.html, refer to version 12 and the cloud, even though they are entitled CS5 - CS6.
I bought the disk version, as the cloud version is far too expensive to consider if you only use two products and don't need the others.
Where are the help files for CS6 that is not on the cloud? There must be thousands out there using CS6 disk version, that seem to have been abandoned. I only bought the program a few months ago, and now the help that was supposed to come with it seems to have disappeared to the cloud - unless you know better?
The pdf files do not contain any help - only links to help files on line. This is fine if you are on line, but what if, like me, you are unable to get on line due to location?
Often I am working on my laptop in a location that has no web access.
The UK has probably the worst Internet service in the world, second only to places like Nigeria, if you don't live in a big town. I am only able to get on line when at my office.
This is what I meant when I asked how long will the help files be available. The quick answer is that they have already gone, and been replaced by a lot of on line links.
Is there a link to the original pdf files even for CS5. These could be downloaded and set so that your machine did not look on line, and the info was immediately available.
For people who are in the business, this is probably not a problem, but it is for me.
Message was edited by: whatalotofrubbish due to finding additional lack of information in the pdf files.

Help feature for CS2

I have used the 'help' feature for my CS2 applications successfully for the past two years. Now, for some reason I can no longer access 'help' in any of the CS2 applications. Do I need to reinstall 'help' or ???

Peter,
Thank you for your response.
I went to the above web site per your insertion. I followed the "Tech Note" instructions for reactivating the 'help' feature of my CS2 applications.
1. I did verify that the Help content files do exist on my computer as listed (Exception - I do not have InCopy 4.0_en-us-zip.)
2. I followed steps 2 and 3 for deleting the appropriate files.
3. In manually launching the Adobe Help Center I found the file ahc (with no exe extension) The file did have a shadowy ? on it. The files seemed to be relaunching ok. but --------
4. I opened Photoshop and when I clicked on 'help' I received the following error messages: 'Model subsystem returned this error 1034. then 'The instruction at "0X00864a4d" referenced memory at "0X00f50608". The memory could not be "written". Click ok to terminate the program.

FAQ: Can I still use Elements membership features with my previous version of Elements?

Q: Can I still use Elements membership features with my previous version of Elements?
A: Photo upload and auto-syncing and backup willonly be available until your photos have been moved to your new Revel account. We will notify you when your move is complete and you can access your photos on Revel. You will be able to view your Elements Organizer photos on Photoshop.com until the end of the transition period, when the storage and sharing service closes.

I also had this problem. After the hint from jsher2000 above, I checked the add-ons.
It's still called "AVG Safe Search" in the Add-ons Manager in Firefox. (Either under Tools/Add-ons or under the orange "Firefox": Add-ons (Or Ctrl-shift A)
I found AVG Safe Search disabled in my list of add ons, and enabled it.
Voila, the icons now appeared in the searches!

I have seen this before. You need to update the apps in your app store, and once they are updated, they will work again.

Lightroom/Elements Help/Updates won't link to web

I have Lightroom 5.6 64 bit and Elements 12 installed on two Windows 7 computers - one is my work and the other my personal home computer. At some point the versions on my home computer stopped linking to the internet when I select a Help function or to check or download updates. One message I get is that I have to associate a program with the file. I tried to figure this out in windows but it is totally obscure to me. Plus since it happens on both applications it must be something with some common Adobe program. I recently uploaded some files with GPS coordinates into Lightroom - they don't show up at all on my home computer, but they do on my work computer and the Map function works fine. Any ideas?

Hi Krisztina ..
Using OpenDNS can help when pages won't load properly.
Use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, includes anti phishing filters, prevents browser redirects, blocks the flashback trojan, and it's free.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.

Cannot view RAW pics or update Elements, help please!

Hi, I have a new Panasonic Lumix FZ28 and I just bought and installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac. I just returned from vacation where I used my new camera, but when I tried to view my pics, only my jpeg files show up. So, I tried to update Elements which installed normally, but it will not update. It says, "The updater is unable to locate the product to be updated"! What?? It's trying to update the RAW 4.6 update. I don't know what to do.
iPhoto won't upload my RAW pics either. It shows them on the screen, but won't import them. I also tried copying the memory card to my external hard drive, which it did, but it also doesn't show my RAW pics. Why is this so difficult!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! This is all new to me.
Thanks!

Perhaps true, but no other application I know of will completely manage an accurate transfer of data from one computer to another. Indeed, given the complexity inherent in data transfer a 100% transfer in every respect may well have success odds greater than that of Powerball which, I'm told, would give the ticket purchaser a much better chance of getting struck by lightning twice before receiving a winning number.
In any case, I have learned from participation in other forums that too much information is usually more damaging in the quest for the "magic" logic process that delivers solution. Hence my restriction to information I felt was not only application specific, but relevant.
I thank you in no small amount. There was no way I could have figured out Adobe was leading me on a wild goose chase for the holy grail. Not their fault. A big company with lots of products can't help but miss a few links here and there. Your attention to forum posts and willingness to help has been extremely informative and hugely appreciated. I hope this discussion thread will be of value to others.
Thank you.
