Getting photos from a profiled device
After you complete an initial device configuration, you can access your device by connecting it while the Device Detector is running, or from the File | Get Photos menu in the Browser. Each time you connect that device to your computer, ACDSee will acquire any new files based on the settings you selected in the initial configuration.
To acquire files from a profiled device:
Connect your device to your computer. If you experience problems, make sure your camera is turned on, and your device's cable is properly connected to your computer.
Do one of the following:
If Device Detector is active, depending on the configuration of your Device Detector options, the wizard will automatically open or you will be prompted. When the Device Detector prompts you, select the Acquire images from the device with ACDSee radio button.
In the Browser, click File | Acquire, and select the name of your device.
Follow the instructions in the wizard. You will be prompted with different dialog boxes depending on the settings you selected in the initial configuration.
