If you close ACDSee Pro, you will be prompted to save your changes. If you select Yes, ACDSee Pro saves the changes.
Changes are automatically saved to the database in the following situations:
If you are working on an image and switch to a different mode (Manage, View, or Online).
If you are in Develop, and switch to Edit.
How saving changes works with the filmstrip
When you do one of the following, ACDSee Pro automatically saves your changes to the database:
Click the forward and back buttons beside the Done button.
Click the Previous and Next buttons above the filmstrip.
Click on an image in the filmstrip.
Select File | Open Next Image.
Select File | Open Previous Image.
Clicking the < or > beside the Done button, adds the image with the adjustments to the queue for processing. When you
have finished making image adjustments on the final image, click Done, and all the items in the queue are processed and
saved.
Saving from the menu
You can also save and discard your changes from the menu:
File | Save and Exit: Saves your changes and exits Process mode.
File | Cancel and Exit: Discards your changes and exits Process mode.
Example user scenarios in Develop
Any changes you make in Develop mode is saved automatically, allowing you to revert back to the original at any time. The following
illustrates scenarios where Develop settings are saved automatically:
Make changes in Develop, and then switch over to Edit. When you switch over to Edit, your Develop settings are auto-
matically saved. On the same image, if you adjust Edit settings and click Cancel, changes to your Develop settings are still
saved.
Make adjustments, and click Save as to save the file into a different format, but then you click Cancel to discard the
changes. Clicking Cancel to discard changes isn't always necessary, since develop mode changes are non-destructive and
can be undone at anytime. See Restoring original images for more information.
For more information on how different file formats are saved depending on their processed state, see How ACDSee Pro saves
changes to images. To learn how changes are saved in Edit, see Saving images in Edit.
