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 file, 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.
2. Click Database | Export, and then select RPP Files. A summary of the export process
displays in the Summary dialog.
3. Click OK.
4. 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 (s).
2. Click Database | Import, and then select RPP Files.
A summary of the import process displays in the Summary dialog.
3. Click OK.
4. The thumbnails of the shared RAW files are also updated to show 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 of 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.
