Manage Mode

Do you want to go faster?
Whether you have thousands or tens of thousands of photos to process and organize, ACDSee Pro 2’s Manage mode delivers the tools you need to work smarter and finish faster.

Instant Access
Access your existing collection without waiting. Unlike catalog-based photo applications, you don’t need to spend valuable time importing files that are already on your system and connected devices. When you browse a folder on your system, Pro 2 immediately begins to display thumbnails of your photos. Plus your external devices are automatically detected, so you can copy images onto your hard drive with drag and drop simplicity. Pro 2’s file management capabilities are powerful enough to keep ALL your digital assets organized.

Effortless Organization
Pro 2’s Properties Pane gives you EXIF and IPTC Extended metadata fields and more. Organize your collection with complete flexibility and control. View complete EXIF information captured from your camera, add and edit IPTC information, and set and embed your own custom metadata. Customize the Properties Pane to create a clean custom metadata view showing only the fields relevant to you. Add keywords, rate images to keep track of your best work, and set multiple hierarchical categories without duplicating images. Use custom keyboard shortcuts to add metadata on the fly.

Searching Simplified
Find individual or groups of photos from your collection quickly and easily. Get relevant results with the Quick Search tool, locate photos by date with the new Calendar feature, or retrieve images already indexed by Spotlight. For even more focus, build complex Boolean searches based on a combination of file properties and metadata, and save them for ongoing use. You can even drag and drop individual EXIF or IPTC Metadata fields into the Search bar. With Pro 2, you'll never lose track of another image again.

Customized, Linked Batch Operations
Drag and drop actions in any order you wish to create a customized workflow that can be saved as its own preset. Rename files, set metadata information, adjust the time stamp, change the file format, resize, copy, move, and apply develop presets all in a series of linked steps, even as you import.

Rev Up Your Post-Production
Tap into a multitude of time-saving features. Conveniently tag images with one click for management or further processing.
