Moving objects in ACDSee Photo Editor

Every software has it’s nuances. Here are some tips for moving small objects in ACDSee Photo Editor:

In the object panel select the background & lock it by clicking just to the right of the eye symbol.

• On the right in the object panel, select the item to be moved
• Click specifically on a part of the item (rather than on the box’s empty space). Clicking & dragging on a handle will resize it.

• If it is still difficult to move the item, then we can zoom in on the workspace and make the item larger making it easy to move the item.

• You can also type in the percentage rather than using the slider. Once you enlarge the workspace, it’s easy to grab the item & move it.
• Click on the ‘Fit to Screen” tool as shown to return the screen back again.

• If you have an item that is outside the workspace - here is the easiest way to find it:
  • Select the item
  • In the navigation panel, change the % to less than what’s shown
  • Click on enter & the selected object will be centered, available for you to move
  • Click on the Fit to Screen tool to return your workspace

• Another way to find a small item outside the workspace that you can’t ‘find’, but it’s in your object panel, you can use the Hand Tool & move the work space around. (Remember that clicking on the arrow on the left goes back to the selection arrow.)

Another way to find items that are outside the workspace is by zooming out (changing the percentage to less than what it is).
