The saturation, vibrancy, and clarity values are very much a matter of personal taste. As you notice, the contrast was left untouched for the simple reason that I prefer working with curves later on if needed it gives a far greater control than a slider does. So I started by lowering the exposure a tiny bit and then used the two sliders below to tone down the highlights and recover some details in the shadows. Looking at the histogram and enabling the exposure alert, I see that my highlights in the red channel are a bit too hot for my taste – I like to have them at around 200-220. ![]() To keep it as simple as possible, when editing my sample file, I followed the tools in the order they are displayed. In ACDSee, after choosing the file, we simply head over to the Develop tab and we can get to work. Maybe you’d be interested in giving another overview in a blog post? I know the concept of ACDSee very much so….just wanted to know the details as explained above.Ĭandice S.’s last blog post.No matter what your thought process is when it comes to photo editing, the first step to get the most out of your image is to start by processing the raw file. In Vista, I can see a small thumb nail, but that just isn’t enough to determine if that is what I want to use in my layout. I am just so unproductive because I have so many kits and ALL KINDS of other digi supplies and it’s a nightmare flipping back and forth thru windows to match up papers w/ elements, etc. If none of this made any sense at all, I am so sorry. while viewing in the photo manager of the graphics program you use? or am I not understanding the ACDSee concept correctly? Do you need to have the program open? Or does it show you your photos, supplies, etc. I know this is an old post, but I have a question regarding ACDSee and figured you’d be the best person to ask.Ĭan you tell me if you notice your computer slows down considerably when you have the ACDSee program AND Photoshop open at the same time? I have PSE7 and Paintshop Pro XI and I wasn’t sure how my computer performance would be affected by running both…. ABR brush files, the super-easy built-in masks on every object, and the save to web features. I’m still addicted to using templates and discovered that a little math goes a long way when it comes to resizing and precisely placing elements on a page.Ĭlick here for a free 30-day trial of ACDSee’s Photo Editor. And take a look at my selection of Photo Editor classes available at Digital Scrapbooking Classes.
