To Get the Tools for Elements 4

Just click the Buy Now button at right to start your purchase process. You will be sent to PayPal where you can purchase with a credit card or set up an account if you do not already have one.

Before Making the Purchase... Please be sure you are using an FTP compliant browser (IE or Firefox, NOT SAFARI), or you will not be able to download the tools.

After Making the Purchase... The tools will be available immediately for download. CLICK THE "Return to Merchant" LINK on the receipt page and you will be re-directed to an FTP download. PC users: right-click on the HPPE4_PC.exe file to download. Mac users: double-click on the HPP4_Mac.zip file to download.

 

The tool package for PC is an automated installer, and offers options for those who need to do custom installation. But installation instructions and troubleshooting information also appear below. The tools for Mac need to be unzipped and moved to the appropriate folder. Installation instructions are included with the download file.

Hidden Power Tool Upgrade Installation Instructions

1. Make payment and download the Hidden Power tool installer. Right-click [HPPE4_PC.exe] or double-click [HPPE4_Mac.zip] the file on the FTP site to begin the download (use the Save Target As option on PC), and save the file to somewhere that you can find it on your computer (e.g., the Desktop).

2. Close out of Elements if it is running, disable virus protection. On PC double-click the installer to get it running. Please read all screens and follow instructions as they appear. For custom installations, please use the Browse button [...] on the Hidden Power 4.0 Tool Installer screen when it appears. On Mac, unzip the file you have downloaded (use the following Unzip utility if you don't already have one: http://www.maczipit.com), and follow the instructions for installation in the readme.html file.

3. Restart Elements.

The PC installer will automatically deliver the files where they need to go, and it will clear the Effects cache. The Mac files will need to be moved manually, and the cache manually deleted. After re-start, you will find the tools on the Styles and Effects palette by choosing Effects from the drop list at the upper left of the palette. Power_ tools will appear under the category listings. You may need to wait a few minutes for Elements to completely rebuild the cache so that all the tools appear. It is recommended that you use the Effects palette in List View mode (change that on the Styles and Effects pop-up menu at the upper right of the palette).
