What is a .ASW file?
An ASW file is a type of file specifically used by the ACDSee Photo Manager software, which is a program designed for organizing, viewing, and editing photos. The ".ASW" stands for ACDSee Slideshow Wizard File. This file format is essentially a project file that stores all the necessary information to create a slideshow. It includes references to the images and audio files that will be displayed and played in the slideshow, as well as the transitions and special effects that will be used between slides.
To create a new ASW file, you use the Slideshow Wizard feature in ACDSee Photo Manager. Here’s how you do it: 1. Open ACDSee Photo Manager. 2. Go to the toolbar and select "Create," then choose "Slideshow File..." 3. Click on "Create a new slideshow." 4. You will then decide the format of your final slideshow output. You can choose to create a standalone slideshow file (.EXE), a Windows screensaver (.SCR), or a slideshow compatible with Adobe Flash Player (.SWF). 5. The wizard will guide you through the steps where you can select the images you want to include, choose transitions, add text captions, incorporate looping audio, select a background color, and more. 6. All these choices and settings are saved in the ASW file.
To open and edit an existing ASW file, follow these steps: 1. Launch ACDSee Photo Manager. 2. Navigate to "Create" in the toolbar and select "Slideshow File..." 3. Choose "Load an existing slideshow project" to open and modify your previously saved slideshow.
It’s important to note that ASW files cannot be opened by simply double-clicking them in your file explorer. They need to be opened from within the ACDSee Photo Manager software using the steps outlined above.
The primary use of ASW files is to facilitate the creation of personalized slideshows and screensavers on Windows computers, making it a useful tool for both personal and professional slideshow presentations.
