All in all, it's a powerful and mature tool with nearly all you need to edit photos.
Set of tools and adjustments is perfect.
RAW conversion is great.
Cataloging is good.
Quite simple to use.
Cons
The main problem is that it's unstable. Crushes too often. This needs to be improved as soon as possible.
Batch processing is poor.
Pricing is a bit high.
Summary
I would recommend it to advanced photographers - the product has everything they would need.
The only misleading thing about the product - it pretends a professional tool, but it's not.
If you are a true professional dont waste your time

Pros
great for quickly viewing raw files, assuming you are not a professional shooter
Cons
This is a great program and i have been a loyal paid user for many years. It's lousy when a new Nikon pro camera comes out and you have to wait 3+ months for raw support to be added. It happened with the D3, D3S, D4 & now d4S. The camera came out march 2014 and i still cant view raw files. If you are a nikon pro shooter i recommend you choose a different program
Summary
They call the program pro, but it is far from professional, i have emailed digital river countless times, and they can give me no time frame, no info, and they say they are waiting for additional requests. It's been 3 or 4 emails, and 4 months, and nothing. Adobe adds new cameras to their raw plugin and Lightroom, within a week or less.
Good programe

Great workflow design.
hobartquitman
Pros
With ACDSee Pro 5 I can completely process a Digital Picture into a Publishing Quality Masterwork within minutes. ACDSee Pro 5 is much more intuitive than any other Photo Processing Software that I have tried
Cons
The "Sharpening" and "Shadow" adjustments are exceptional too.
Summary
Features like the "Light EQ" and now the "Color EQ" in ACDSee Pro 5, make enhancing Digital Photos so easy, intuitive, and fun.
Worthwhile Program

Easy to use, with excellent features

None apparent

The Program meets all my requirements.
OK but better programs out there
Wings92126
Pros
Quick workflow.
Many functions.
Much smaller file size than Lightroom 4.
Great to preview photos.
Cons
The little batch processing functions are a buggy nightmare.
No before/after functionality makes it easy to mess up badly.
Can't back out of many functions. If you mess up, too bad.
Summary
Not yet ready for prime time. I can't believe pros actually use this. If it were free, I'd probably keep it to preview pictures.
Some faster on 64 bit system
anyport
Pros
Speed has increased
Cons
None discovered so far
Summary
I haven't used this enough to find of there are any lurking bugs, but I have noticed an increase in speed with the 64 bit install. I mainly bought because of their $35 promo price. I'm not sure the increased functions from ACDSee 15 are very significant, but I haven't tried it on raw files yet.
At one time a premier program. Not worth the money now

Pros
Great cataloging and converting capabilities.
Cons
Database continually crashes and display not respond messages.Shutting program and restart takes forever. Not worth the frustration.
Summary
Best Picture Manager Software
