You have permission…

June 25th, 2009

…to delete those “not so good” photos!

With digital cameras, people have the freedom to take a lot more photos.  In the past, you thought about the cost of developing the film or that you might not have enough memory card space.  Now with digital cameras & memory cards are large and inexpensive, you have the freedom to click away as much as you want!  The consequence of this is the amount of photos that can accumulate very quickly.

Embedding Data with ACDSee 2009

May 12th, 2009

One of the new features of ACDSee 2009 is the ability to embed your organizing information (Categories, keywords, captions, notes, etc) into your image files.   Here is why it is important:

  • If you were to move files outside of ACDSee, you can easily recover your organizing by re-cataloging your files (Database | Catalog Files)
  • If something were to happen to your ACDSee database (where all your organizing information is stored), you could also recover and recreate the ACDSee database by re-cataloging all your files.
  • If you wanted to share your organizing information with a friend using ACDSee, you can do so.  You would organize your images, embed and then send the images to your friend.  Your friend would catalog the files and get all your organizing information about those images!
