Manage mode

Browse, sort, and organize inManage mode. The simplified toolbar with drop-down menus help you to find the most

commonly used tasks. You can combine different tools and panes to perform sophisticated searches, and view thumbnail

previews of images. Usability improvements include radio buttons for ratings, and category check boxes to quickly

categorize images. Publish your images easily using the FTP, Email, or SmugMug uploaders.

View mode

View your images using a variety of image viewing tools. Use the Properties pane to display image information such as

EXIF or IPTC data, and add captions to your images as you view them. View mode features a new filmstrip, which lets you

easily flip between images without having to return to Manage mode.

Edit mode

Perform all image adjustments in Edit mode. Use Edit mode to adjust an image's color, exposure, white balance, and

detail. Fine tune your image using tools such as red eye removal and easily repair any imperfections. Or add creative

touches by adding text or borders, or other special effects.

Online mode

Use Online mode to upload your images to the new online image sharing and storage site: ACDSeeOnline.com. In Online

mode, you can easily drag and drop your photos into an album on ACDSeeOnline.com without having to go through a Web

site.

different folders. Simply click the check box in the corner of any photo to tag it, then display your tagged photos by clicking Tagged
