Using ACDSee Photo Manager to keep track of images used in layout: A video!

So many people are publishing or posting their layouts and it is very important for them to keep track of all the images used in their layout so they can properly credit the designers.

We have suggested a few different ways to do this on our website, but using Favorites is probably the best method. Favorites allows you to save shortcuts to all your images or folder. To keep track of images used in a layout, you create a new favorite folder with the layout name and save shortcuts to images in there. Then later you generate a list that contains file information and organizing information.

Sound confusing? Well I made a video that will explain it all. It gives tips/hints/things to watch for while you use this method. Here it is: Tracking Designer Credits

As I make videos, I always think, okay this next one will be shorter. This last one ended up being one of my longest one yet! The longer they are the longer they take to make. But I so want to give you tips/hints/suggestions and not just “show” you how to do it. So I making myself a promise that the next one WILL be shorter.

If you have ideas for videos, please leave comments. I am thinking of doing either “Assigning Designer & Kit Name” or “Organizing Alphas.” Or maybe a quick one on using the Search Pane for advanced searching. Or making contact sheets (previews?) Or using batch resize or rename? What would you like to see?
