Searching with ACDSee
ACDSee includes a number of ways to search your computer for files and folders. You can use the
Search pane to search by file name, keywords, or image properties. You can create advanced searches
to locate files that fall within a date or rating range, or use the Duplicate Finder to locate and manage
identical files.
For simpler searches, you can use the Quick Search bar to quickly locate files and folders, or search the
database for specific names and keywords. You can also customize the Quick Search bar to only search
for specific items or certain parts of the database.
Also, you can use the Organize pane to quickly locate and list all images on your hard drive, or to
locate any files in a folder that have not been categorized. If you are working with larger image
collections, you can use Selective Browsing to specify broad or narrow criteria for the images you want
to display in the File List pane.

Sharing images with ACDSee
ACDSee makes it easy to share your images with friends and family. You can e-mail images right out of
the File List, post images on the Internet with ACD Systems' secure SendPix servers, and create your
own Web pages with the HTML Album plug-in.
ACDSee includes a Burn Basket pane, to help you burn your images safely onto a disc. You can also
create slide shows and screen savers that you can give to anyone with a computer - they don't need
ACDSee to view them. You can even publish your images to your TiVo, and view them on your
television screen.
