The workflow is smooth because you aren't fighting the software, sorry ADOBE. There are four main categories, manage, edit, view, develop. Each option is well layed out with multiple tools that are easy to use.led. It's no Adobe Photoshop, but it doesn't cost as much ans is easier to use > > **Cons**: It doesn't have all the features of a high end editor, but your not paying for those either. It would be nice if it supported more devices, but again, for the price it's not bad > > The product is stable and fast, provides, editing, indexing, sorting of various types of image files ----- ### "Beautiful and balanced Photo browser and editor for simple daily tasks" — 5.0/5 > **Emad** | *17 November 2019* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I am not really a professional photographer nor i am an expert geek at editing photos with complex programs like Photoshop, I was only looking for a program to let me access the most basic functions, where i can simply browse and edit my photos only without too much hassle like other programs do, I have tried multiple programs like adobe lightroom but it wasn't (light) at all, in contrary it way too heavy on my machine and needs to be updated regularly to work otherwise it would be infested with bugs and crashes everynow and then (especially when i update my windows) that could shutdown the program while i had spent hours of editing my photo to find all my efforts go in vain and nothing had been saved and have to go all over again, I was actively searching for other alternatives here and there until i found the ACDsee pro I thought to myself why not i could give him a shot, and Oh my God I found my salvation within this amazing piece of software, it has everything i needed and more, very lightweight ( doesn't take too much ram nor clog the processor or Hard disk usage), very easy to use, have the most simplest and friendliest user interface i ever dealt with, it serves well as either photo browser ( where i can browse, arrange and organize my photos under workspace tab, import from multiple locations: Disk,flash or CDs) or as photo editor (as doing a batch processing or export in different formats, resizing, cropping, create wonderful slideshow for special occasions). > > **Cons**: The cloud services needs to have appropriate prices for entry planes, some features especially those used for editing color curves and balancing exposure need some to be revamped to give a more clear and less noisy outcomes on par with competitors. > > The rich featrues this program has as both photo editor and browser, the seamless integration with other programs on different systems, and keeping tabs on my photos in the cloud to be shared across multiple platforms to be readily for editing and publishing is a huge advantage worth noting and praising here. ----- ### "Review for ACDSee Pro" — 2.0/5 > **Mansour** | *19 December 2020* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: The price of the program is good Ease of deployment easy to use It does not consume the device's resources > > **Cons**: The program is weak compared to the company that developed the program Arabic language for writing on the video not supported > > A failed experiment. I hope that the program will be developed to fit the name of the world famous company ----- ### "Look Under The Hood" — 4.0/5 > **Alan** | *4 December 2020* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: From the beginning many years ago when I started using ACDSee as a photo editor and DAM (Digital Asset Manager), I just dug right in and found the tools I was most interested in using. My results were always good enough to make me want to have and use the new features on the next version. I should have known better, but by jumping right in, I ended up wasting a whole lot of time in the long run. A couple of years ago, in an effort to learn a little more about one of the tools, I took a look at one of the many training videos ACDSee makes for its users. And in a word, Whoa\! I started learning how ACDSee could help me achieve superior photo results in much less time than before. What the effective differences are between two similar tools; easy and effecient organization of all my photos; setting up smart workflows where I can process my photographs quickly and in a correct order; and much, much more. ACDSee has a wealth of really useful trainings and tutorials that will make you a better photographer and are truly worth your time invested. That's why I highly recommend 'looking under the hood'. > > **Cons**: ACDSee (Ultimate) seems to take quite a while to load up on both of my two systems (both Windows 10). The latest release (2021) is faster (though not fast), so it looks like they are working on it. > > I've seen many comparisons between ACDSee and Lightroom. They are both very good at the workflow for digital photography, and I think it becomes a matter of preference. My suggestion is whichever system you use, stick with it, and get as good as you can with it. I do like ACDSee very much, especially because it has additional features (kind of like having parts of Photoshop sprinkled in). I am very excited to keep on improving my knowledge and skill in photography post-production with ACDSee. ----- ### "One of the best Pictures and Video management software" — 5.0/5 > **Stefano** | *23 March 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The easyness to use it and also the great catalogue feature. > > **Cons**: Sometimes do mess with face recognition and maybe it could be useful more features about deiting with other filters. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/270541/acdsee-pro?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/270541/acdsee-pro) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
