Metallic Effects in ACDSee Photo Manager

Connie March 17th, 2008

It seems that applying metallic effects has become popular. I’m going to show how to apply it to the water in the photo below. This tutorial will work for ACDSee 10 or ACDSee Pro 2.

1. Select the image; Under Edit Image choose Edit Mode

2. The first thing that I’m going to do is use Selections to select the water which is the only part of the photo I want to apply the metallic effects to.

Click on Selections. Draw around the water, then click on Done.

3. Select ‘Effects’    Scroll down & double click on Sheet Metal

4. Now the metallic effect has been applied. There are a number options to adjust.

I adjusted the rounding. Mousing over the colors shows them.  Lessening the opacity makes the metallic effect less intense.
