ACDSee Photo Manager has the ability to create your own categories to organize your images.  These categories can relate to your personal photos or to a set of images.  Digital scrapbookers have many images (of paper and elements they use to create layouts) and they use the categories to organize them into each type.     The categories can be found at the top of the Organize Pane.  The categories can be quickly assigned to 1 or more images.   Once assigned, all images in a categories can be quickly retrieved with a click on that category!  You can easily share these categories with other people.  We will share the first way of only sharing the categories and the next blog post will be how to share your images & organizing!
