ACDSee 12 User Guide
However, if you are working with, or planning to work with, multi-session discs, the serial number may be regenerated or changed
each time you change the contents of a disc. Therefore, the volume label is the required method of identification for multi-session
Photo Discs.
Rebinding Photo Discs
Depending on the method used to identify Photo Discs, ACDSee 12 may encounter a Photo Disc that it does not recognize. This is
most common when you are using the serial number method to identify Photo Discs and you insert a multi-session disc. ACDSee 12
may not recognize the disc, as serial numbers are likely to change when updating a multi-session disc.
You can use the Rebind option to update the identification information, and associate the correct database information with your
disc.
To rebind a Photo Disc to its ACDSee 12 database information:
1. In the Rebind Photo Disc dialog box, carefully review the Current disc information to be sure that the correct disc is in the
drive.
2. Select the Photo Disc record that you want to rebind to the current disc from the Photo Disc Name list.
3. Click Rebind.
Using ACDSee Quick View
ACDSee Quick View is an image viewer that you can use to quickly view images without opening ACDSee 12. For example, imagine
that you want to view an image that someone sent to you in an email. If you double-click the image it will open in Quick View, which
is like a pared-down version of View mode in ACDSee 12.
With Quick View you can quickly scroll through your images, temporarily rotate images, and zoom in and out. If you are viewing a
particularly appealing image in Quick View you can also quickly set the image as your desktop wallpaper.
You can easily switch from Quick View to ACDSee 12. You also have the option to open an image in Manage mode or View mode.
If you are accustomed to using keyboard and mouse shortcuts in View mode you can use most of those shortcuts in Quick View as
well.
To open an image in Quick View:
1. With ACDSee 12 closed, double-click an image. For example, double-click the image in Windows Explorer or in an email mes-
sage.
2. Use the viewing options described below to view the image.
