Digital Asset Management - How to Create Thumbnail Digital Images using Acdsee

Honeycomb Archive Digital Management System brings you a tip to improve your graphic design efficiency. 

Often, people use thumbnails that link to larger files in order to make web pages load faster.  ACDSee Photo Manager makes it easy to create several thumbnails by batch processing these digital images. With the ACDSee software you can select several digital images at a time and resize them all at one time. This is a real time saver for you and your company.

Catalog files
Open ACDSee software. First, wyou will need to catalog the files. Go to Database then click Catalog Files. Choose only the folder that contains the images we want to rename. Click Next.

Files will be cataloged, but you will need to do a search to find them.  In the Search Pane, enter the file extension of the digital images and the folder where they are located. Click Start.

Batch Resize
Once images have been found, select all of them. Go to Tools, and click Batch Resize. The batch resize dialog box will appear with instructions on how to use the feature. Fill in the dimensions on how big or small you want the thumbnails to be. Once done, click Start Resize. (Note: clicking ‘Preserve original aspect ratio’ will resize the digital image so that the height and width are proportional to the original size.  This will prevent the image from becoming distorted.)

Digital images are shown with their new size in KB.
