connecting peripheral devices, such as mice, modems, and keyboards.
user interface
Any of the ACDSee windows; includes the Browse window (the “Browser”), the
View window (the “Viewer”), and the photo editor window (“FotoCanvas” and
“FotoCanvas Lite”).
V
vector image
An image composed of shapes, not individual pixels. The shapes in the image are
defined by mathematical formulas and the size of the file is independent from
those formulae. Resizing a vector image does not change its quality. FotoCanvas
does not support vector images. Images are converted to a raster image and must
be saved as a FotoCanvas supported file type.
vibrance
The color saturation of the Brush width. Increasing vibrance intensifies the color,
making it brighter, whereas decreasing the vibrance makes the color dull.
W
weight
Creates the shadow relief, or carved look, of the image. A Depth value of 1 pro-
duces a minimum of shadows and a value of 15 produces the maximum shadow
relief.
white (adjustment setting)
Decreasing the value increases the brightness of the light areas of an image.
