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!
