Viewing RAW images
A RAW file is like a negative. It is necessary to develop, or process, your RAW files to view a
photo. When you double-click the thumbnail of a RAW image file the Browser, ACDSee checks
to see if you previously processed the RAW file. If you have, ACDSee displays the processed
photo in the Viewer. If you have not, ACDSee quickly processes the RAW file and displays a
temporary photo of the RAW file in the Viewer.
