Using ACDSee Photo Manager with a challenge

One of our ACDSee users is in a digital scrapbooking contest where they need to only user certain designers’ work in the challenge. She already had the kits tagged with the designer name but was trying to figure out how to easily find all eligible kits quickly.

The Solution:

1. Create a tag called Challenge (or whatever you like)
2. Search for all the designers (or kits) that eligible to be used in that challenge.
3. Select the results and tag with them with category Challenge.
4. Repeat until you find all the kits that can be used in the Challenge.
5. Now when you are working, you can easily retrieve everything eligible to be used in a challenge by clicking on the Challenge category!
6. When the challenge is over, right click on the category “Challenge”, delete the tag and it’s gone. Any images having that category assigned to them automatically lose the “Challenge” tag.

You can be quite creative in how you use Photo Manager and the categories don’t have to be permanent.

Some other ideas:

• When you have used a digital kit, tag the preview with a category called “Used Kit”
• When you find a kit you really want to use, tag it with category called “Must Use Soon”
• For your photos, tag the photo with “Want to Scrap It”

What unique ways have you used ACDSee Photo Manager to scrap with?
