Seeing what categories are assigned to image in ACDSee Photo Manager

A question frequently asked is how can I tell what categories are assigned to an image in ACDSee Photo Manager. There are 2 ways. If you have problems seeing any images in detail, just click on an image to see a larger version of it.

The first way is by looking at its Properties.

1. Go to View | Properties to bring up the Properties Pane
2. Select a thumbnail.
3. Click on the Database tab
4. In the grayed box under Organize: you will see all the categories assigned to that image.
5. 

The second way is in the Organize Pane and it is a little less obvious to see all categories assigned.

1. Go to View | Organize to bring up the Organize Pane
2. Expand out your categories.
3. Select a thumbnail.
4. In the Organize pane, look for the green little squares over the right of the icon next to the category. Those are the categories assigned to it.

6. Note: If my frames category wasn’t expanded to see my sub-categories then I wouldn’t see the green squares. But then I would see a blue square assigned there to show that there is some subcategory assigned to it.
