Importing photos from a disk

ACDSee 12 makes it easy to import photos from any other storage device, computer, network, flash drive etc. In fact any device that your computer can map to. When you connect a removable drive, or to a network, disk or another computer, ACDSee 12 sees it as a removable drive and you can browse to it, and around it, using the Folders pane. You can just copy and paste the files into ACDSee 12.

If the files in the disk or drive have a complex folder structure or you want to organize, rename, and back up the files as you import them, it is worth using the Import From dialog box, which has import settings do all of these tasks simultaneously.

To import photos from a disk:

  1. Connect the disk to the computer.
