![]() ![]() ACDSee 18 is the newest version of that same program I used eighteen years ago.I’ve not used it much, but while it contains some powerful tools that, in the right hands, could really be just about enough for post-processing serious work, I believe it is best suited for family use with emphasis on automated features and filters. It lacks the image organizing tools of other ACDSee versions. ACDSee Photo Editor 6 is software purely for simple post-processing.At this time, four products stand out in the family as photography-centric tools: So, in essence and much like software such as Lightroom, it serves as a tool for more or less each step of digital photography management and post-processing workflow. At the core of its main features are three (in no particular order) – image management, image viewing and post-processing. What is ACDSee?Īfter starting off as a mere image viewer with mild editing capability, ACDSee has evolved into a whole family of photography-related software. The goal of this review is to discuss the software, not explain every tool, dialogue and menu, and while I will do my best to discuss the more important tools in more detail, attempting to do so with every small bit of the software would result in an improbably long article. It’s that packed with features (understandable, since ACD Systems is aiming squarely at Lightroom) despite a refreshingly low size of around 175 MBs when installed. While I will share a few thoughts on the matter later in the article, why I am mentioning this here is for a very simple reason – it is virtually impossible to review every aspect of ACDSee Pro 8 in detail while keeping the article of reasonable length. Not once did we lie about our findings, nor will that ever happen on purpose.Īnother important thing to mention is the complexity of the software. ACD Systems made no attempt to influence our impression of the software (which, by the way, speaks for them), and should such a thing ever occur with any software developer or manufacturer, it’d be in vain. However, we at Photography Life build our reputation on our unconditional integrity and – I can’t stress this point enough – our words are always our own. Let me start with the standard disclaimer: the license to this copy of ACDSee Pro 8 was provided by the software developer specifically for reviewing purposes.
