"The simplicity and convenience of ACDSee in working with images"
What do you like best about ACDSee?

I find the ACDSee interface very simple and intuitive, which makes working with the program convenient and efficient. I am also impressed by the quality of image processing and the final result I get when using this program. I have been using ACDSee for over 10 years, which speaks to my satisfaction with the product. The ability to batch resize images and individually process specific pictures greatly simplifies the completion of my tasks. All of this is done easily and simply, without unnecessary difficulties.

What do you dislike about ACDSee?

Overall, everything is good, but it would be better if ACDSee loaded a bit faster. However, this is a minor detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Terrible programming (Ultimate 2023 version)"
What do you like best about ACDSee?

Used to be a great piece of software!

I've been using it for >20 year and have (regrettably!)been recommending it for a long time.... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACDSee?

The "ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2023" is slow, buggy and unsupported. Errors are met with "pay for a new version" by customer support - but why would anyone buy new potentially buggy software from a company they have experience will not support it?!?

It seems all real programmers have been fired, testing have been omitted and little is left but marketing and and a short-sighted management! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sort and classify the images according to various attributes, such as names, faces, and locations."
What do you like best about ACDSee?

ACDSee Luxea is an excellent portable photo and video editing tool. The ability to compare images side by side and display a grid and preview between two monitors is one of its key features. It's one of the best video editors I've used, combining powerful features with an intuitive interface that makes it easy to create presentations and extract images from 3D views.

Digital asset management integration is a significant advantage and I appreciate the absence of any licensing fees. I think another important feature is that ACDSEE uses the folder structure to display new images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ACDSee?

The cost of ACDSee is high. It contains unnecessary files and occasionally becomes slow. Other than that, I have no issues with this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
