Everything about ACDSee is quick, easy to find and simple. Personally don't have time for the complexity of other photo editing software as we need our motorsports news photographs to be delivered and uploaded ASAP. Editing is generally crop, exposure and occasionally sharpness. Management of files is a huge part of the ACDSee system and locating them easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Improving the RAW photos and adjusting them to the the wish of myself or family.. Thousands a year.

Also "recovering" old photo's from decennia ago. Starting at about 1890.

And I used it for work, mostly houses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a dislike but a problem for me and more people:

Because I'm partly "colourblind", mostly in green/brown and blue/purple so also reddish, I color photos often to stark.

Because I often use some basic corrections I will like to see a feature to make it possible to chose 1 or more common corrections in a batch. Like putting the RAW photo's to JPEG or so. Not the way it is now. Because the corrections make many mistakes. Mostly to light, to much contrast etc. So I can batch only a few from hundreds.

Perhaps more languages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using the program since version 2.0 and I believe it is the most underrated photo application on the market. It is very powerful and does not get the respect it deserves. It has allowed me to streamline my workflow so I can edit even a large number of photos in a short amount of time. Customer service is very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like the text tool in ACDSee Ultimate. It needs to be more robust to allow for more complex designs. The company should do a better job in providing online training videos. The videos by Alex Watson were great - provide more showing how the program can be used to show examples of how pros use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is not intimidating and it makes both organizing and finding photos later by dates and grading easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first glance the three different ways to view images was a bit confusing, but once understood become quite useful. The Mobile Sync had some quirks with my iPhone but I found useful online info and had it resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy it is to get around the different settings and features you have in this program, It is so easy to learn, I have used photoshop & Light room and I still seem to use ACDsee over & over again I love the new erase feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is really nothing I dislike, I have used it so much and I like everything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I primarily use ACDSee to view and rate pictures (giving 1 to 5 stars), but I also use it for sorting, resizing, moving images around, making copies, viewing EXIF data, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I reported a bug in June 2017. With each new release I have reported that the bug is still present, including in the 2019 version. Each report has been acknowledged, yet the bug remains. It's been over 2 years. THIS. This is what I dislike. Please fix bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ACDSee makes it easy to do most common photo editing jobs, and is 'non-destructive', in that you can simply save with a new name and your original file is intact. The addition of layers a few iterations ago increased it power a good deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really disliked when the newest version came with "face detection" turned on. Who in the world would want such a thing? Took me five minutes to figure out how to turn it off. Please, don't do this again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I value LightEq above all other ACDSEE features but the product lost its way a long time ago with the 'Auto' feature for that component. A very long time ago it worked well if very conservatively but since then it makes the picture way too bright! Nevertheless, no other product can adjust the lighting in the same way. I also particularly like the 'Import' feature set, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use I7 machines and ACDSEE Ultimate has become more and more ponderous (slow) it is in desperate need of an overhaul to restore some agility to the experience. Although having the various versions allows users to overcome the licence limit, to an extent, the better solution would be to concentrate on the 'Ultimate' package (making it more agile to use), removing the restrictions on the licence (I know others follow the ridiculous 2 system only rules of Adobe but many do not) making all copies 'home' use e.g. 5 systems and lowering the price permanently to around the $70 range of Affinity/Luminar etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can move the files in folders without import to libraries needed, so I have enhanced my culling process, I can move the unwanted pictures and the selected photos to other folders without loosing the database locations. Also the clone tool is very useful,

Almost all needed tools are available in Develop mode and is not destructive, you can return to the original file

the noise reduction tool is somewhat limited and rarely I can get good results with medium to high ISO pictures Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ACDSee has been my goto photo processing and cataloging program since it first came out years ago. I'm a professional photographer and deal with hundreds, even thousands of images on a busy photo shoot. One day, after being totally frustrated by the complex, time consuming lunacy of Adobe products, I downloaded ACDSee to find out what it was all about. What a difference!

ACDSee was not only much much faster than the Adobe products it's simplicity saved me countless hours of tweeking my images up to pro quality. Every year ACDSee improved and I purchased the updates the instant they were available. The 2019 ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate truly lives up to it's name. It really is the ultimate photo cataloging AND processing program.

If you have not used it, If you are a serious photographer, do yourself a huge favor and download a trial version. Hint, first thing to try is the "dehaze" adjustment when editing a photo. Wow. One click and you'll never look back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
