All it's there for is to allow you to look at the pictures with as little distractions as possible. It's a page that has little information on it. The View section is the second area that you'll take the picture into. One of the new features is a copy and paste system for Metadata which is great if you've used the same settings or want to input the same. Highlighting an image will bring up the EXIF data and a Histogram on the left under the folder list and the Metadata input fields to the right. It allows you to load your pictures in via the folder search facility to the left of the screen. The default section that loads up is called Manage. There are five sections to the program and we'll look at each on in turn. The layout is pretty much the same as the previous version(s) which is great for current owners of ACDSee.

New features in Pro 7 include non-destructive image repair and new radial and linear gradient tools, as well as a new detail brush, dual monitor support and a tilt/shift effect which gives the look of a diorama.

In the first dialog box, select one of the Catalog of My Pictures folder. In ACDSee, click the Database menu and select Catalog Files. Therefore, in order to speed up the display of images, you can use the indexing of image folders to often browse the following steps: However, ACDSee has a problem when you browse a folder with a lot of images, its image display speed is quite slow, affecting the operation of the computer. The photo browsing function in ACDSee is great and convenient because you can preview photos as default thumbnails.
