VCD supports NTSC/PAL, and your saved videos can be played back in any media application. Save and reuse VCD projects, and even watch a live preview of the slide show youre working on.

   Add several different slide show projects to the same CD, and conveniently burn original images to CD as well. Mix multiple audio tracks with highresolution photo images and video into your slide shows, without the hassle of learning overly complicated software. ACDSee also lets you set your slide show to fit the length of any audio track using a handy timeline view.

3. Create CDs and DVDs quickly and easily.

   The new Burn Basket makes creating CDs and DVDs draganddrop easy. Individual photos or entire folders you name it, the Burn Basket can take it. Make hard copies of your photo collections faster than ever before, then give them as gifts to family and friends.

   Improve organization by creating new folders within the Burn Basket, and update ACDSee Photo Discs on multisession CDs and DVDs. Easily manage your disc space by checking the updated estimate of the size of the disc, and how much space will be used up by your current project.

   The Burn Basket completely eliminates the need for a thirdparty burning tool, and can also be used to create archives and backups of your files.

4. More powerful editing tools

   The new Photo Repair tool fixes common photo defects such as blemishes, flares, lens scratches, and other imperfections, so your treasured photo memories always look great, no matter how you choose to show them. Choose from either the Clone or Heal options to repair any area of a photo.

   Improved mouse and keyboard functionality allow for easier pausing and scrolling through your slides. Create slide shows with associated audio files, mix multiple audios, and save time by setting the same audio, transition and caption to multiple selected images.

    With the Sync feature, synchronize folders on your PC with network folders or an external hard drive to protect you from local hard drive failure. You can even synchronize multiple folders and schedule when the synchronizations occur.
