Running Lo-Fi From ACDSee Photo Manager

Once the ACDSee Photo Manager has been configured, you can run Lo-Fi on any of your images by first selecting the images you want to process and then choosing the menu option:

Tools > External Editors > Lo-Fi

Lo-Fi will now start with all of the images that you selected. When you are done editing your photos, save them by clicking on the “Save” icon. This will bring up a dialog. Choose the “ACDSee Photo Manager” preset, click “Save” and the images will be saved to the same folder as your original images.

The filenames of the processed images will have a “-Lo-Fi” suffix. The saved images typically appear at the end of current browser window. You can re-sort your images by hitting F5.

If you wish to save to a different folder, choose the “Custom” preset, which will allow you to customize your export options.

That's all folks. Enjoy!
