ACDSee Pro 3 User Guide
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 search, 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, SmugMug, or Zenfolio 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.
Process mode
Perform all image adjustments in Process mode. The Process mode has two panes: Develop and Edit. Use the Develop
pane for non-destructive editing on RAW, JPEG and other supported file types. Use tools in Develop to adjust an image's
exposure, white balance, color profile, sharpen, and much more. Use Edit to fine tune your image using pixel-based
editing tools such as red eye removal.
Online mode
Use Online mode to upload your images to the new online image sharing and storage site: ACDSee Online. In Online mode,
you can easily drag and drop your photos into an album on ACDSee Online without having to go through a Web site.
Revolutionary New Process Mode
In Process mode, you can perform a variety of image corrections (tune color and light, enhance details, crop) in real time without
waiting for an adjustment to apply on an image. You can view at any time the final image with and without each adjustment to view
the effects of your changes, and return to each adjustment to further fine tune your image.
