Before I became a professional photographer, I was pleased with how ACDSee Pro performed and how it allowed me to edit and manage my assets.

Pros

I liked the user interface and how intuitive the app is.

Cons

ACDSee Pro lacked some more advanced features that professional photographers use.

Alternatives considered

Reasons for choosing ACDSee Pro

I found ACDSee Pro to have more features that I needed compared to other products.

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.

Lo empecé a utilizar como una recomendación y alternativa a Adobe Lightroom, ya que permite organizar de forma mas rápida las bibliotecas de archivos fotográficos. Ahora con las herramientas de AI, les he dado un toque impactante a las fotografías que he tomado.

Pros

El revelado de archivos RAW es maravilloso, ahora con la implementación de AI garantiza obtener resultados sorprendentes.

Cons

En ocasiones se congela cuando estas trabajando con archivos grandes, mayores a 1GB.

Principalmente porque permite gestión de archivos de mejor manera, no necesitas estar importando las fotografías de manera manual, sobre todo los archivos en RAW.

Bilder sortieren und Ordnen. Geringe Bearbeitung wegen der häufigen Abstürze.

Pros

Sortieren, Umbenennen. Sonst gibt es nichts Lobenswertes, da alles im Laufe der Zeit langsamer und mit Abstürzen läuft! Nach jeder Upgrade kläuft erstmal alles gut, bis dann das alte Theater wieder losgeht.

Cons

Nach einigen Monaten intensiver Nutzung immer wieder Abstürze und Einfrieren des Bildschirms. Das Problem hat ACDSEE bereits seit über 10 Jahren. Service: Gar nicht. keine Anfrage wird beantwortet. Statt dessen ständig neue Sonderangebote.

I was unable to activate, and customer service was not very interested in solving the problems.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Durch die Anwendung von ACDSEE ist der gesamte Workflow rund um Bildbearbeitung und -verwaltung super-einfach und unwahrscheinlich schnell.

Pros

Intuitive Bildbearbeitung, kreative Bildbearbeitung und die Verwaltung meines Fotoarchivs sind in einem Superprogramm gebündelt. Ich nutze ACDSEE seit vielen Jahren und (Wichtig!): Jedes Update bedeutet mit neuen Features einen Mehrwert. Die intuitive Bearbeitung ermöglicht auch dem engagierten Anfänger, zu schnelles und guten Ergebnissen zu kommen.

Cons

Die Funktionalität wird mit jedem Update / Upgrade verbessert, so dass bei mir keine Wünsche offen sind.

When I was a kid, my father always have used ACDSee! I grew up having same interest as he has... and using ACDSee as he did (still doing!)! It speaks well about the software: its value of a good service and quality is constant.

Pros

This software is the only software you need in your PC to manage big amount of pictures of any format! View and edit photographs in excellent quality. No unnecessary floating windows. Everything is clear, simple, intuitive... sometimes something raises a question, of course, but load of tutorials are here to help you!

Cons

Nothings. ACDSee improves my work and I am grateful for this.

Pros

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

Cons

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

It's a powerfull multimedia browser and edit software.

Pros

When you need to see all tipes of media files with one software you only need this, the easiest way to change names and metadata.

Cons

the amount of space of the databases that increases depends of the quantity of media files that you have.
