Restoring original images
Once you have developed an image, the settings you used are saved in the database and will be applied again each time you open
that file. You can remove the develop settings from a single image or from a batch of images.
To remove develop settings from a single image:
1. Select an image in Manage or View mode.
2. Do one of the following:
In Manage mode, click Tools | Process | Restore to Original.
In View mode, click Tools | Process | Restore to Original.
To remove develop settings from a batch of images:
In Manage mode, select images, and then click Tools | Process | Restore to Original . The develop settings are deleted from
the ACDSee Pro database.
When you restore your image to its original state, all the develop settings will be deleted from the ACDSee Pro database.
Using presets in Develop
If you use the same develop settings on your images, you can save the setting as a preset. Presets allow you to quickly apply
changes to an image without having to repeat the steps each time you want to apply the same change. For example, if you always
correct your images using the Contrast tool with the value of 25, you can save this setting as a preset and quickly apply it to change
the contrast in your images. You can also use presets to ensure that settings are applied consistently in your images. You can create
a preset with a single or multiple develop settings.
You can apply as many presets as you want to an image. Each time you add a preset, the settings are applied on top of the
previous settings.
Creating and applying presets
You can create and access presets by clicking the develop settings button from the following places:
Top of the pane Presets created from here can contain image corrections from Tune, Detail, and
Geometry tabs. Presets created at this level can also be accessed from Manage mode to
develop a batch of images. Presets created at this level can also be accessed through
View mode, and applied to a single image.
Tune, Detail, or Geometry tabs The presets you create in a tab can contain various develop settings from groups. A
preset created in a tab can only be accessed through the same tab.
