Viewing offline images
ACDSee 12 stores thumbnails and database information for images contained on CDs or other removable media as Photo Discs. You
can then browse the thumbnails and view the information for those images even when the disc is not in your CD-ROM drive.
To add a Photo Disc:
1. Place a disc containing images into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Do one of the following:
If Device Detector is active, follow the steps to create an ACDSee Photo Disc.
If Device Detector is not active, in Manage mode, click File | New | Photo Disc.
3. In the New Disc dialog box, type a name for your disc in the Title field, and then click OK.
You can then browse the contents of the Photo Disc in the Offline Media section of the Folders pane.
If you add or remove images from a disc that you have already added to ACDSee 12 as a Photo Disc, you can update the
information stored in the database. Insert the disc in your CD-ROM drive, and then right-click the name of the disc in the
Folders pane and select Update Photo Disc.
By default, ACDSee 12 identifies Photo Discs by their serial numbers. This is the most reliable setting to use when working with
Photo Discs, particularly if you are importing or converting Photo Discs from previous versions of ACDSee 12.
