Hiding the Selective Browsing pane
You can use the Auto Hide feature to automatically hide the Selective Browsing pane and increase space for the File List pane. When
the pane is set to auto-hide, it rolls away when you click outside it, leaving only an edge displayed. You can access the pane again by
moving the cursor over the edge.
Searching with auto categories
Do you have hundreds, possibly thousands, of images? Do you use more than one camera? Do different members of your family
share cameras? Or do you have images on your computer that were captured by friends and family? If you answered yes to any of
these questions you should consider using auto categories to search for images.
You will see auto categories in the Organize pane, below Ratings. Double-click or click the plus sign ( + ) to expand auto category
groupings. Double-click or click the minus sign ( - ) to collapse the auto category groupings.
Some auto category information is added to your images by your camera. For example, cameras will record information such as the
camera make and model, the white balance settings you used, the focal length you used, and the aperture. You may want to
supplement that information with the city, province/state, or country in which you captured the images, as well as keywords or
copyright. You can do this using the Batch Set Information tool or by manually entering information in the Properties pane.
When you click on an auto category, ACDSee 12 searches for images or belonging to that category. For example, imagine that you
use more than one camera. You can expand the Photo Properties and Camera Model groupings, then select the category
representing your camera model. All images captured with that camera model will display. Similarly, imagine that your brother
captures a lot of images and sends them to you. You can expand the Photo Properties and Photographer groupings, then select your
brother's name from the list of photographers. All images captured by your brother will display.
Below are some tips for searching with auto categories.
Identifying commonly used search categories
If there are certain auto categories in the Photo Properties grouping that you use frequently, you can save time by adding them to
the Commonly Used grouping. Some Photo Properties groupings are available in the Commonly Used grouping by default. You can
add as many auto categories as you want to the Commonly Used grouping, and you can easily remove any grouping from the
Commonly Used grouping when you no longer need them.
To add an auto category grouping to the Commonly Used grouping:
1. Expand the Photo Properties grouping.
2. Right-click the auto categories grouping that you want to add to the Commonly Used grouping, and select Add to Com-
monly Used . The grouping is added to the Commonly Used grouping.
It remains visible in the Photo Properties grouping as well.
To remove an auto category grouping from the Commonly Used grouping:
1. Expand the Commonly Used grouping.
2. Right-click the auto categories grouping that you want to remove from the Commonly Used grouping, and select Remove
from Commonly Used .
The grouping is removed from the Commonly Used grouping.
Refining your auto categories search
You can refine your auto categories search by selecting more than one auto category. For example, imagine that you are learning to
combine aperture and shutter speed settings to properly expose images in a variety of lighting and you want find images taken at
specific settings. If you click the Easy-Select indicator beside the f/16 aperture auto category and the 1/30 s shutter speed auto
category, ACDSee 12 will search for images that belong to both of those auto categories.
When you select more than one auto category you can further control the search by selecting Match All or Match Any from the
Match Any/All drop-down list at the top of the Organize pane. If you select Match Any, ACDSee 12 will display any images associated
with the selected auto categories. If you select Match All, ACDSee 12 will display only those images that are associated with all of the
selected auto categories.
