| ACDSee Thumbnail Database Format | N/A | Database Files |
The DTF (.DTF) file extension is a data file used by ACDSee, a digital asset manager. It provides access to a thumbnail database which allows the user to easily view and manage images stored on their computer. The.DTF file can contain thumbnails of images in a variety of formats, such as JPEG, TIFF, BMP, GIF, and others. By having the thumbnails stored in a database rather than in separate image files, it reduces the amount of disk space taken up on the user's computer and makes it easier to browse through large numbers of photos quickly.
Technical Details
.DTF files store thumbnails in a proprietary format developed by ACDSee. Each.DTF file may contain different types of metadata related to the image it represents, such as name, size, date modified, camera information, and more. The data is stored in binary form and can be accessed with special code written for the ACDSee software. In some versions of ACDSee, the thumbnail database can be backed up manually or automatically using the Backup function.
Similar File Extensions
Other digital asset manager software programs use different file extensions for their thumbnail databases files. Examples include: XMP (Adobe Photoshop), THM (Google Picasa), ALB (FastStone Image Viewer), THN (ACDSee Photo Manager) and TNM (Ulead Photo Explorer).
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DTF) 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 .DTF 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 .DTF 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 .DTF 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 .DTF extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DTF file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DTF 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 .DTF file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DTF file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DTF file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
