**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Photography | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2018

**What do you like best about ACDSee?**

Easy to use, several options to work with image in single place

**What do you dislike about ACDSee?**

Like many other software, it also getting heavy in term of memory requirement.

**Recommendations to others considering ACDSee:**

The ACDSee is good software in digital industry, for image editing and to make template base changes. The provided templates are good enough to fulfill the standard changes in the image. We daily use it to convert the file format and to reduce the image size without effecting much over the image quality. While the price is not at higher side, the free trial is available to justify the price. So in my opinion value of money is there.

**What problems is ACDSee solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Sizing, coloring, rotation, these three task are very regular in daily work. Many times when we receive images or PDF from our designer, they sent it in very big size. While in submitting them to government portals, we have to resize those images and images in PDFs. The ACDSee is much helpful for our team.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Facilities Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2016

**What do you like best about ACDSee?**

I enjoy the options to do various editing on photos. The ability to do HDR was very beneficial to give life to my photos. I was able to repair photos that were damaged. It was incredibly fun. I lost track of time, there are so many variations in creativity on this software. I look forward to finding out about their other software!

I have learned so much about photoediting. I can develop the photo as I saw it, and how it made me feel. I can repair the photos that were damaged, or were not at the right appeture. This was an playground of artistice ablities for me. Thank you very much. I cannot wait to see the rest of the ACDSee software product

**What do you dislike about ACDSee?**

I was unable to develop my photo art the way I am able to now. It was difficult getting the photos to look the way I saw it, or to repair beautiful photos that were damaged. I am so happy about having ACDSee Pro to bring out the beauty of my photos, so they could be  used for sales.

ACDSee began losing relevance for me as and when I improved my photography skills and began looking for softwares that were more powerful, necessitating a shift towards Adobe Lightroom.
