Sharing RAW processing settings
You can share your RAW processing settings with other ACDSee Pro users. To do this, you export the
processing settings from the database to a file, which has an .rpp file extension. You can then send the
RAW file, and the processing settings, to another ACDSee Pro user, who can import the .rpp settings
into their ACDSee database. When they open the RAW file in ACDSee, the processed photo will have
the appearance you intended.
To export your RAW processing settings:
1 In the Browser, select the RAW file (or files) that you want to share.
2Click Database | Export, and then select RPP Files. A summary of the export process displays in
the Summary dialog.
3Click OK.
The .rpp file is saved in the same folder as the source RAW file. When you send the RAW file and the
.rpp file to another ACDSee Pro user, tell them to keep the RAW file and the .rpp file together in the
same folder.
To import RAW processing settings:
1 In the Browser, select the shared RAW file (or files).
2Click Database | Import and select RPP Files. A summary of the import process displays in the
Summary dialog.
3Click OK.
The thumbnails of the shared RAW files are updated to reflect your processing settings.
Removing RAW processing settings
Once you have processed a RAW file, the settings you use are saved in the database and will be
applied again each time you open that file. You can remove the RAW processing settings from a single
RAW file or from a batch or RAW files.
To remove RAW processing settings from a single RAW file:
1 In the Browser, double-click the RAW file. It displays in the Viewer.
2 In the Viewer, click Modify | Revert RAW Processing. The RAW processing settings are deleted
from the ACDSee database.
3 Close the Viewer.
To remove RAW processing settings from a batch of RAW files:
1 In the Browser, select the RAW files, and then click Tools | Batch RAW Processing.
2 Select Undo processing settings in the Processing options section.
