Using ACDSee Quick View
ACDSee Quick View is an image viewer that you can use to quickly view images without opening ACDSee. For example, imagine that you want to view an image that someone sent to you in an e-mail. If you double-click on the image it will open in Quick View, which is like a pared-down version of the Viewer in ACDSee.
With Quick View you can quickly scroll through your images, temporarily rotate images, and zoom in and out. If you are viewing a particularly appealing image in Quick View you can also quickly set the image as your desktop wallpaper.
You can easily switch from Quick View to ACDSee. You also have the option to open an image in the Browser or the Viewer.
If you are accustomed to using keyboard and mouse shortcuts in the ACDSee Viewer you can use most of those shortcuts in Quick View as well.
To open an image in Quick View:
With ACDSee closed, double-click on an image. For example, double-click on the image in Windows Explorer or in an e-mail message.
Use the viewing options described below to view the image or images.
