User Guide

Welcome to ACDSee Pro | 3
Manage
Manage mode is the main browsing and managing component of ACDSee Pro. In
Manage mode, you can nd, move, preview, and lter les located on your hard
drive or removable storage device. You can also organize your les by adding
categories, keywords and other metadata to make your les easier to search.
There is no need to import your les into the program because ACDSee Pro
catalogs your les as you browse through them, adding le properties and
metadata to the ACDSee Pro database automatically.
However, you can use ACDSee Pro to import les from a camera or other device
onto your computer. When you use the Import tools you can create folders, rename
les, add organizing information, and create backups as you import the les.
View
In View mode you can display images one at a time, zoom in and out, and see
images in full screen. You can also view image properties, display parts of an image
at varying magnications, as well as add organizing information or tag your images
for further processing.
You can open View mode by double-clicking a le in Manage mode, and then
use the lmstrip to ip quickly between all of the images in a folder or a group of
selected les.
Process
You can open your images in Process mode to adjust your images using the non-
destructive Develop tools, or x and enhance images using the pixel-based Edit
tools.
Use the Develop tools to make non-destructive adjustments to the entire image:
crop, rotate, apply color or lighting adjustments, sharpen, reduce noise, and x
perspective distortion.
Use the Edit tools to add the nal touches to selected areas of the image, or add
borders, text, watermarks and other creative eects.
Online
Online mode provides an easy way to upload images to ACDSee Online, an image
sharing and storage service located online at:
www.acdseeonline.com
In Online mode, you can select the images on your computer and then drag and
drop them directly into your ACDSee Online account.
