ACDSee is the, fastest, most intuitive and comprehensive, stand alone image processing software available for PC in my humble opinion. I have evaluated a vast array of image processing software over the years and ACDSee remains my main software. Everything is to hand and there is no need for hunting around in hedden sub menus to find the adjustment that you are looking for. The RAW processing is second to none, producing smooth well rendered output. Tonal and colour adjustments are very comprehensive and making profiles is easy and straight forward to implement . Additional imaging programs like Portrait-pro, Neat-image, Paint.net and Topaz adjust can easily be integrated into ACDSee adding a whole raft of additional functionality.

In my opinion the inbuilt lens profiles should at least comprehensively cover first party manufacturer lenses but sadly do not. Half of Sony's are missing. For example, few of Sony GM lenses are included and that causes me a problem as I shoot with the Sony A7r3 & 4 and also the A9 bodies, predominantly with Sony and Zeiss glass. I have been told that unlike other manufacturers sony makes all Sony lens profiles freely available to the programming community, so there is really no excuse for this oversight.

I take thousands of photographs a year and I have found that ACDsee is not only the easiest photo editing software to use, but in many instances outweighs Adobe Photoshop in my opinion. I have Photoshop but still use ACDsee and recommend it to all my friends. I'm a bit obsessive about how I name my files, and ACDsee makes it so easy for me to name and number all my images. My favorite features in ACDsee are bringing up shadows, which is does very well, sharpness and noise reduction are excellent, as is saturate, and something I don't even think Photoshop does, it crops to the original dimensions if you rotate a photo, so there's no blank corners. The features of ACDsee are more than even I use, but I've turned lots of beginners onto this program, and you can just use those features as needed. Oh, and if you use Develop mode, you can save and save and save, and at any time revert back to your original photo or even just change one setting back. I might have made a hundred changes and the next day I look and feel I added too much color saturation so I can just adjust that while keeping all other changes. Really, I love ACDsee Photo Studio. I also constantly review the settings I used in my photos, which are easily visible in ACDsee, and then I know what settings to use in similar situations in the future. I have settings for Disneyland rides, dark rides, fast rides, indoor stage shows, night parades, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things I don't like is in the white balance. I wish I could click on a true white and have the colors adjust to it. As far as I know, you can only click on a gray. I wish all of the features that are available in Edit mode are available in Develop mode. I use Develop mode for my jpgs, even though it works great with raw images. Sometimes I must use Edit mode because I only want to alter a small portion of a photo - I don't know why that can't be offered in Develop mode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes feels a little heavy on operating system

One of the best things I like about ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2018 is the smart import tool. Too many times I have used the import option with Lightroom and I have wound up with too many duplicates. The import tool on ACDSee checks for duplicates before they get imported. This is a very help feature if you are like me and have quite a few photos. Another feature I found to be very useful is the action recording function. This definitely helps speed up the editing process when you can just do it all in a few clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I found that the thumbnails in the "Manage" section were a little hard to really see. This was not by any fault on ACDSee's side. I just have too many photos. I was able to adjust the size of the thumbnails which made it a little easier to view. This is not a huge issue. I was using a laptop when I ran into this slight issue. When I tried it out on the desktop which has a larger monitor, everything was fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ACDSee is easy to use. I've tried other photo editors and keep coming back. I can do so much with ACDSee and when I've tried others, the interface is confusing and I can't seem to get what I want as easily as with ACDSee. I also love that I can organize, manage, and edit all in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Often the quality of the end product is not as good as what I've been working on. I've found if I add some sharpness when I export, that helps, but I wish it were more spot on. I also wish there were more modern filters/effects to use either as a quick edit or a starting point (e.g., Instagram). I also wish every tool included masking.

ACDSee puts all the tools you need to organize, develop and distribute your digital photographs in one place instead of having to work you way through multiple pieces of software. Whether the user is a novice or a professional ACDSee will accommodate their needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the past the upgrade process has been a bit kludgy, but the ACDSee has improved that process tremendously over the past couple of releases. Additionally, ACDSee is a bit heavy on the "Buy NOW!" advertising for upgrades. However, they generally do offer good upgrade pricing to existing users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ACDSee can handle all the new raw files from all my photo cameras, i enjoy review from all photos with this great app! as a pro photographer, is must have application! i cannot see the world without it, it save a lot of time! Thanks for this! also file conversion is the best for quick reviews! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i turn off all audio and video files preview, its slowing me down and im not using this…, so its not like dislike, only i think nobody use ACDSee as video and audio player, but otherwise can be :) i also turn off face detection, cause it was also think to consider the speed, before was slowing me down, when you dont have this feature turn on, it takes about 70% faster to create the previews of raw files! :) otherwise, perfect....

I use this for work to organize a large collection of photos from our department, to then be able to pass them on to marketing, PR, institutional advancement, etc. when they have specific photo needs for their uses, which are to promote our organization and communicate with supporters. I mostly use ACDSee for organization rather than photo editing. I love the ability to easily tag/catagorize, and then easily find photos that fit their needs.

A little confused about how best to utilize the different tags - keywords vs. categories vs. labels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ACDSee has everything you need. You can get into all of the technical stuff with the photos and videos or you can just use the tools to clean up the photos and share. The program works for all levels of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only part of the programs that I have a little trouble with is the videos. I don't do videos very much so that might be part of it on my part, the learning curve to using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using ADCSee image processing software for decades and will continue to do so, as it is very productive and versatile, and very easy to use, despite countless technical features, features that increase with each update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That's when I put together 2-3 photos and more, to create a Panorama image Then a message comes up: "Can't process selected file"> 2019-08-01 14-59-11-sk-044 Panorama.

This picture is attached. This image is put together with the PTGui sewing software, which I have used for many years. The only program NOT able to open images processed with PTGui and the result (size) will be over 25,000 KB is, ADCSee (for many years) File Explorer can see it as well as all the image processing programs I've tested, and I use Corel PaintShop to open such photos, save as a new photo and then I can open the photo in ADCSee Poto Studio Ultimate 2019 and work there.

You must fix this, please. ( Sorry, it is not possible to send the attachment here, but I will of course do so if you send me an email sk21@simnet.is as a request.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
