Adding or editing image audio
ACDSee supports images with embedded audio and images with associated
audio files.
Images with embedded audio are TIFF or JPEG images with audio saved
inside the image file. You can embed audio inside an image file by adding
audio to the image.
Images with associated audio are image files paired with separate WAV
audio files. Image files and their associated audio files contain the
same file name and are located in the same folder. You can associate any
WAV file with an image file by giving them the same name and placing them
in the same folder, or by adding audio to the image.

If you move or rename either an image file or the audio file
associated with it, both files must be renamed and in the same folder
or they will no longer be associated. This does not apply to images with
embedded audio. |
To add audio to an image:
Do one of the
following:
Select
an image in the Browser.
Open
an image in the Viewer.
From the Tools
menu, select Image Audio | Edit.
In the Edit
Audio dialog box, click the Browse
button.
Select a WAV
file and click Open.
If you would
like to truncate or clip the audio file, select the Use markers check
box, and drag the Start marker
and End marker sliders. Do one
of the following.
Click
the Truncate button to remove
the beginning and end of the audio file (the sections outside of the start
and end markers).
Click
the Clip button to remove the
section of the audio file inside the start and end markers.
To hear a preview
of the file, click the Play button.
Click OK.
Recording audio to an image
You can record your own audio files and add them to your images. When
you add audio to a JPG or TIFF image, the audio is embedded in the image.
With other file formats, the audio file is associated with the image;
the audio file is saved in the same folder and is played when the image
is viewed.
