Browsing RAW files

Because a RAW file is similar to a negative, it is necessary to develop, or process it before it is visible. It

would be very inconvenient if you had to process all of your RAW files before you could browse your

photos. In ACDSee you don't have to process your RAW files to browse your photos.

If there is a thumbnail of the photo embedded in the RAW file, ACDSee display it in the Browser.

Sometimes the quality of embedded thumbnails is poor, so ACDSee initially displays embedded

thumbnails in the Browser, then displays higher-quality thumbnails. If you find that it takes too long to

display the higher-quality thumbnails you can turn off that option. (Click To ol s | Options, select File

List, and then clear the Generate high quality thumbnail checkbox.)

If there is no thumbnail of the photo embedded in the RAW file, ACDSee quickly creates a high quality

thumbnail to display in the Browser.

ACDSee also searches the database to see if you have selected processing settings for the RAW file. If it

finds processing settings for the RAW file, ACDSee uses the settings to display the thumbnail in the

Browser.

Once generated, the thumbnails are stored in the ACDSee database to speed up retrieval and display

time for later browsing.
