Help not working in Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.0

Recent times, I saw many discussions on User-Forums about Help not working in Photoshop Elements 9.0 and here is one of the workaround worked for most of them. So I though of keeping it at one place and share with other folks who encounter the same problem in future.

Here are the steps to follow:

a) Browse to “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Help”
b) Double Click on “Adobe Help.exe” (BLUE ICON with an “I” on it)
c) Go to Edit > Preferences (refer to screenshot)

d) Select “OPEN COMMUNITY HELP APPLICTION” and click Done.

e) Launch Photoshop Elements Editor and launch Help.

Comment back in case this doesn't work for you. I will try to find out other resolution for your specific problem.

ORGANIZER is available on Windows as well as MAC with ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 9.0

Many times I have seen people dreaming about ORGANIZER instead of Bridge with ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 9.0... Organizer was there on windows and CS-Bridge was shipped with earlier versions of ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS... THis time Adobe decided to have Organizer with Editor on Windows as well as MAC...

On top of that it has very good integration with iPHOTO which is a native application of MAC and a part of iLIFE bundle..

ORGANIZER is an application used for better orgaizing your photographs, audio and videos and its also part of Premiere Elements... PREMIERE ELEMENTS is also available on Windows as well as on MAC with ORGANIZER... So it gives a complete solution to a person who has camera with video capture capabilities...

ORGANIZER is very popular application with great organizing capabilities with albums, tags, metadata-searches etc. There are lot many sharing services available in Organizer which includes, Sharing to FLICKR, FACEBOOK, PHOTOSHOP.com etc...

Apart from that, it has various automatic mechanisms for better organization like Face Recognition which automatically detects faces and try to identify who is that person, AUTO ANALYZER which helps in categorization of various files according to their properties and SYNC ENGINE which helps in taking backup of your data on Photoshop.com automatically as you add more media or edit somethings...

Organizer has various working views including Thumbnail View which shows all the files in Organizer in a particular order according to the order preferences selected... like 'Oldest First', 'Newest first', Custom Order etc... folder view which help in exploring all the files as per their original folder hierarchy which is very helpful sometimes... There is a date view which helps in organizing photographs according to days, Months or Years... So for example, if you want to see photographs of all your Birthday parties, just click on the date of your Birth and you will see all the pics clicked on that date...


Organizer is very rich in terms of functionality and it upon us how we can leverage its capabilities to get wonderful organizing experience...
