View Window

ACDSee's View window displays images one at a time in full resolution. You can have more than one View window open at the same time.

To open a View window, do one of the following:

A View window opens as shown here:


In the title bar of the View window, the image name is displayed. Another option is to display the file path to help identify the file's location. To do this, click Edit | Preferences, click the Viewer tab and check the box next to Show full image file path in title bar.

 

The status bar is in the lower part of the window.

The following is displayed from left to right:

If there is more than one image in the image sequence (as in this example), you can also use the Greater than (>) and Less than (<) signs to navigate to the next and previous images respectively.

 

Copying the image (using the "marquee")

Hold the Option key and click the view area; the mouse pointer turns into a crosshair. To select an area of the image or the entire image, drag the crosshair in the image or across the entire image. The resulting rectangle is referred to as the marquee.

To copy this area go to Edit | Copy or press Command and C. You can now paste this area to an external source including the desktop or a word processing application. The marquee can also be dragged into a destination (i.e., the Finder or an open application). By dragging the section to the desktop, you create a Clipping file.

 

Full-screen view

To display the View window in full-screen mode, double-click the image in the Viewer. You can also zoom the image while in full-screen mode. If the image is zoomed beyond the desktop area, the mouse icon turns into the shape of a hand. Then you can pan the image by clicking and dragging it with the mouse. See Panning/Scrolling.

The size of the full-screen window can be reduced by pressing the Esc key or by double-clicking anywhere on the image.

 

Image rotation

You can rotate an image when it is opened in the View window. Click Image and select between Rotate 90 degrees CW (clockwise) or CCW (counterclockwise), Flip Vertical, or Flip Horizontal. Save these changes by selecting File | Export Image.
