Develop
Using the Develop tools, you can make global adjustments or corrections to
your image. The Develop sub-mode provides three groups of tools: Tune tools
for adjusting exposure, vibrance, white balance, lighting, color, and tone; Detail
tools for sharpening and noise reduction; and Geometry tools for lens distortion,
rotating, xing perspective, and cropping. As you make adjustments, the preview
in the right pane shows the changes. You can go back and forth between the tools,
rening your adjustments, until the image appears as you want it to.
A few of these tools are described on the following pages. Be sure to explore
ACDSee Pro to nd all the tools that are available, and review the ACDSee Pro 3
Help for additional instructions.
Save, Done, Cancel
Before you begin making adjustments to an image, it is important to understand
how your image is saved in ACDSee Pro. In Develop, when you save adjustments
to an image, the adjustments are saved in the database so that the next time you
open the image in Develop, the sliders are where you left them. You can then
continue to adjust the image, reset a group of settings, or restore the image to an
earlier version.
Using the Save, Done, and Cancel buttons, you can save adjustments to each
image in turn, make adjustments to more than one image and queue the
processing, or cancel the adjustments to the current image. Most commonly, you
will use Done to save your changes.
The following table describes the dierent options.
