ACDSee Pro Reviews

We use this program primarily for sorting and renaming huge quantities of files from multiple cameras. We shoot upwards of 100 weddings a year and this program is a life-saver. We have to take the images from two cameras, sort them so they tell the same story and then rename all the files once they are ordered.

This program saves us! Other programs can do this, but the ACDSee platform is the easiest. We also go through and select the images we want to provide in a public online gallery for the Bride and Groom's family and friends. This makes it really easy to go through the images and select the ones we want included. Again, other programs can do this but this has been the easiest we have found.

For the most part it is easy to use. Learning to navigate yet another panel in another program is frustrating when you haven't learned how the designers think, but for the most part that's not a flaw in design, just operator error.

Extremely user friendly photo editor. Professional looking photos make my social media accounts pop.

I have found this to be an affordable alternative to more sophisticated photo editors like Adobe Photoshop.

I used to have an older version and it works very well. It met its role well, photo management. But the current one I have not been able to activate. The customer support was not able to solve the activation problems on my computer.

Activation problems. Too restrictive licensing system that prevents use of the software.

I have been using ACDSee from the times of DOS based version. It has been most go-to tool for viewing, organizing tool for my memories. As I developed passion for photography, it became my best friend. Over years, ACDSee viewer also became editor/enhancer and all-in-one solution for photo editing. I like it simplicity and ease of use. You can edit/enhance your images easily if you are novice computer user. Supports for wide array for file formats including RAW, effortless organizing, one-click editing are plus of ACDSee. This is must have software if you like keeping your memories organized.

None, its just get better and better. Though pricing could be more affordable.

This software started as a simple image viewer, with more options than what Microsoft presented in its portfolio of products at the end of the 90s.

Right now presents the opportunity to categorize, sort, process, copy, print, retouch, as main functions, our images, either individually or in batches.

It is also an excellent visualizer of our catalog of images, allowing the change of some values from the first sight.

I think that the program, with the passing of the years, has lost a bit of its personality and its graphical interface tries to copy the look and feel of Adobe Lightroom.

It is a tool that can be used by amateur or media photographers, but it is not the most recommended for professional photographers or who handle a large volume of images.

At some time I wanted to include cutting marks and it was impossible. I do not know if they have evolved in this aspect.

The easyness to use it and also the great catalogue feature.

Sometimes do mess with face recognition and maybe it could be useful more features about deiting with other filters.

Great for browsing jpeg's quickly and for tagging them with numbers, colors, etc. Way, way better to do that than with Lightroom. Couldn't live without this software as a very busy portrait photographer

They used to create quick albums for you so I could share images with clients quickly via links. They got rid of that and I really, really miss it.

ACDSee is an excellent program to process and edit a considerable amount of photographs in a very short time and of excellent quality.
The software opens any type of picture and it does quickly. The images are sharp.

The ability to upload images to the web. Being able to mass-edit and rename multiple images at once.

In the earlier versions, it would frequently crash, but this has improved over the past 2-3 years for sure.

I've been various versions of ACDSee all the way back to version 2. Nothing works with as many file formats so easily and quickly. ACDSee operates in two different modes, quick and full. The quick version is what I use mostly just for looking at images. The full version includes all the image editing and sorting details that you might need. Best of all, ACDSee just works - it's fast and does what it says it does without trying to throw the kitchen sink at you at the same time.

Far too often I end up in the full manager version when I'm trying to get into quick viewer. Also, I really don't want ACDSee to try to display videos, but it does if it comes across them in a folder and you're scrolling through them.

It's very easy to use and has enough features that I can use it for 90% of my editing needs.

The only thing that I'm not a fan of is when you change the size of a picture, it doesn't immediately resize the picture view. I have to exit the view, then click back on it to see the size. I'd like to be able to see how the resizing affects the picture in real time without having to save it.

I like the DAM use of the program which allows me to find files in folder, catalogs etc. You don't have to load your files into Lightroom. It has most of the features of Lightroom except for a history of changes which I wish it had.

Glitchy at times when changing modes for Developing to edit to view. It may be I need a bigger, faster computer but it does work well with what I have.

All the editing features are very useful. For basic and advanced photo editing it really responds to all my needs. My favorites are the exposure and contrast adjustment features. Not only are they easy to master but ACDSee Pro also allows me to customise and save my settings so that I get consistent finished products every time I sit down to edit. Batch processing helps a lot in editing, renaming, file size reduction, etc. Organizing files is a breeze! Most of the time I don't need to do heavy editing whether my photos as great or not so I don't need a very powerful computer as ACDSee is very light on the hardware requirement.

My only wish is that I can process images that are in PDF form. It would also be great if I can capture images from videos.

I have used ACDSee for almost five years. I can say that it is one of the best applications that enables you to edit your photos. You can easily crop your photos, rotate them to your desired angle, and even write on them. Another fact about ACDSee pro is that it is fast and can operate your request quickly.

I think ACDSee Pro has good features. I cannot say any Cons except the price!

It can work as your explorer alternative. Though I never used it for other tasks. The option is there. It is a lightweight image manager. It can do it better than most for a long time. Even when there was no other alternative

Advanced image editing is not as intuitive as other progressive apps like photoshop. The result is not always so professional looking.
