The .ASW file extension is associated with the ACDSee digital asset manager application. ACDSee is a comprehensive photo and image editing application for Windows, developed by ACD Systems. It enables users to easily organize and store their digital image files in an orderly fashion. The .ASW file contains a slideshow project that has been created with the Slideshow Wizard included in ACDSee.
Project Details
The ASW file contains all the project settings used to create the corresponding slideshow. This includes the images that have been selected, as well as their order, transition effects, pan and zoom settings, background music, and other configuration details. Within the Slideshow Wizard, users are able to set up various options to customize their slideshows in order to create engaging presentations. Once a slideshow project has been configured, it can be exported for playback on other devices and platforms.
File Support
The ASW project file can only be opened and edited with ACDSee. It cannot be opened with another image editor or media player, though most modern image viewers should be able to open the individual image files used in the slideshow. The ASW file also supports certain integrated media elements such as audio, video, multiple transition effects and text captions. Other similar file extensions include .ASX, .SLD, .SLP, and .SWF.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ASW) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ASW extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ASW file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ASW extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ASW extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ASW file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ASW file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ASW file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ASW file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ASW file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
