Configuring External Editors

You can configure ACDSee Photo Studio 10 to work with a variety of image editors and specify which image editor ACDSee Photo Studio 10 uses by default. You can then open images in any of your external editing applications from within ACDSee.

To Configure an External Editor in ACDSee:

  1. In Manage mode, click Tools | External Editors | Configure Editors...
  2. In the Configure Photo Editors dialog box, click Add...
  3. Browse to the folder on your hard drive that contains an image editing application.
  4. Select the editing application.
  5. Click Open.
  6. In the Name field, type a name for the editor.

Even though the feature is called “External Editor”, apps of all kinds can be set up as an external editor, including your mail. With Mail selected as an external editor, a new email message can be easily generated with photos attached and ready to be sent.

To Manage Your Image Editors:

  1. In the Configure Photo Editors dialog box, in the Editors list, select the application you want to change.
  2. Do any of the following:
    • To change the location of the application or the name of the application displayed in the Editors list, click Edit... Set the location and name of the application.
    • To set the application as the default external editor for ACDSee, click Set As Default.
    • To specify whether the application can handle multiple images at the same time, select or clear the check box in the Supports Multiple Images column.
    • To remove the application from the list, click Remove.
  3. Return to ACDSee.

To Open an Image in an External Image Editor:

  1. In Manage or View mode, select the image you want to open in the external editor.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Click Tools | External Editors | Default External Editor or the name of an editor.
    • In the File List toolbar, click the External Editors button and choose Default External Editor or the name of an editor from the drop-down menu. Or press Control–Option–K.
