Assigning Color Labels
Color labels are useful for naming and quickly identifying your processing plans for your images. Different colors can be used to
represent different stages of your workflow. For example, as you review your photos you can quickly label files to upload, print,
reject, review, or sharpen, or any other term that matches your workflow needs. Once your files have been labeled, you can click a
color label in the Catalog pane to instantly display all of the files assigned to that label.
You can also use color labels in combination with the Group by, or Filter By features to refine your list. Color labels, like tagging,
categories, and ratings, are a way to set aside, organize, and group your photos without moving them into different folders.
If the Properties pane or Catalog pane is not visible in Manage mode, click View | Properties or View | Catalog.
Create a Color Label set
Begin by creating a label set so you can quickly select and assign specified labels. Once you have a label set in place, you can assign
your images to the appropriate labels corresponding to your workflow.
To create a color label set:
1. In the Catalog pane, click the Labels settings button and select Edit Label Sets.
2. Enter names for your labels and click the Save icon.
3. Click Save As from the Save Label Set dialog box.
4. Enter a name for your new label set.
5. Click OK.
Once you have created color label sets, you can access them from the Catalog pane by clicking the Labels settings button and
selecting from the drop-down list. Before assigning a color label, make sure the intended label set is active. The active label set
name is shown in brackets in the label header.

These include GIF, JPEG, DNG, PNG, and TIF. In the case of these file formats, the ACDSee Metadata is embedded inside the
file and so you can rename or move the file outside of ACDSee Pro and still be able to retrieve the ACDSee Metadata. For
