User Guide

Copying, moving, or renaming files using other programs, such as
Windows Explorer or the MS-DOS command prompt, causes the loss
of database information.
Metadata tab
The Metadata section includes EXIF metadata information that is stored with an
image from a scanner or digital camera. Metadata is embedded in the image file.
You can edit certain types of metadata.
ACDSee can retain metadata information when you edit an image. For example, if
the digital image is resized, cropped, or modified and then saved, the digital cam-
era metadata remains the same.
File tab
The File section includes file properties — for example, file type, location, size, cre-
ation date, and last modified date — and image attributes — for example, format,
width, and height.
Category tab
You can organize your files by defining categories and assigning your files to them.
The Category section lists the categories the selected file belongs to. In this sec-
tion of the Properties tabbed page, you can also create and rename categories,
assign and remove files from a category and delete categories.
