Digital Photo Professional - Where is the HELP file?

Waddizzle — Tue, 23 Feb 2016 20:55:15 GMT

I'm curious. Am I the only person who has installed DPP4, and did not get a HELP file? No one else seems to have the same complaint. When I click "Help" in the menu, there is only one selection, "About". Good thing I have used DPP3.

Are you sure there is one? I don't see it either.

Thanks, John. I've been trying to help my son get set up. "But, Dad, it ain't there." "Huh?"

Maybe I missed it, senior moment, but it seems that Canon doesn't make the manual available for download with every camera that uses DPP4. I hope Canon is listening to this.

@Bob Okay, I'm not going crazy. There really is no "Help" built into the program.

Thanks again, John.

Apparently the only camera bodies in that support portal that have a link to the DPP4 manual are the 1D Series, Mark 2,3, and 4.

Exactly. There isn't a link to "Help" built into the program. There is a not so easy to find "User Manual" in PDF format.
