Good program for photo management and editing
millenysMarch 21, 2016
Pros
Useful options of photo editing and organizing. Easy to use and nice interface.
Cons
Frequently crashes.
Summary
Good program, but it would be better if it doesn't crash so frequently.
It can't read RAF/raw files from Fujifilm X cameras
walkerbarrenOctober 1, 2014
Pros
I love its UI, easy to work with
Cons
I am waiting from 2013 that ACDSEE can cope with RAF files from my Fujifilm x100s. No way. It is a paid program,and free software like Faststone can read easily this type of raw files, but year after year ... Acdsee fails to manage with x-trans sensor images. Unbelievable.
Summary
Useless for X Fujifilm cameras files
Thanks for the virus.
JoeCool32June 2, 2014
Pros
I don't know. I uninstalled it as soon as my anti-virus software detected a virus or malware being installed, along with your software.
Cons
It came with it's own virus.
Summary
I had also tried to download a different photo editing software package that night, only to have it try to install a virus/malware, too. I won't be using cnet.downloads ever again.
Good. Could be better.
GreyClawMay 26, 2014
Pros
This (paid) version has been much more stable and noticeably more responsive than recent versions especially when parsing RAW images.
Cons
Still too... desperate to be the "Jack of All trades", and still slow and prone to freezing/hanging.
Summary
The amount of formats that are supported and the overall polish still the selling point and the reason I keep coming back. Been a customer since ver 2 and this (paid) version has been much more stable and responsive than the previous version that I had bought (ver. 12 and 15). I find that the feature creep/bloat is the main annoyance for me and many other users. I have never wanted my image-organizer to play media files, or display font files, as I have other programs that perform those functions well. Boot up is now about 16 sec--slow, but still much better than v.15 . That is while parsing My Pictures Library (which spans 2 external drives). I would be exceeding happy with a stripped-down, we-just-organize-images "portable" version.
Too many crashes and conflicts
chiappyNovember 8, 2013
Pros
Easy to use very user friendly
Cons
Unfortunately crashes and locks up the machine cannot work well ADOBE PRODUCTS like Photoshop or lightroom
Summary
Best for file management but lacking. NO TECH SUPPORT to sort out the conflicts freezing and crashing problems. Constantly optimizing does not help
Very nice and easy to use
BronnyBearMay 17, 2013
Pros
- Batch processing of the images!
Cons
- Sometimes hangs the computer and needs restarting (win xp)
Summary
Bad Upgrade Policy
sblakeokSeptember 26, 2012
Pros
None. There are free products that do much of what this program does.
Cons
I purchased Version 14 and 15 days after I installed it, Version 15 came out. I requested a free upgrade since it had only been 15 days and they asked $19.99 for an upgrade. Customer service is via email and their automated response indicates it takes 2 to 3 days for a response.
Summary
I feel it was unethical to sell a product when a new version was less than 30 days away. Most software companies gladly provide a free upgrade in cases like this.
Seriously TICKED. Must Register Even to TRY!
B00kWyrmJuly 26, 2012
Pros
I was unable to find any.
Cons
Unable to even try the product without registering. Not willing to register on a product that I am only trying.
Summary
This practice is very outdated. Most publishers do not do this. ACDSystems should wake up and join the 20th Century, Better yet join the 21st! If your product is good, people WILL come back and register ... WHEN the trial runs out... after all, by then they will have seen that they want it enough to buy it. Until then, you don't need any of our personal information, and we don't need your emails. I'll be looking elsewhere!
Just love it
dwoodlandJune 19, 2012
Pros
Have liked it for many year. It is getting a little bit better for every new version.
Cons
None that I can think of.
Summary
Still the best and most convenient!
sellyourmomMarch 26, 2012
Pros
ease of basic editing of photos, ease of viewing and organizing images, batch tasks (resizing, renaming, and so on), handles large files
Cons
sometimes crashes with big tasks or within folders that contain huge files
Summary
Convenient and easy to use, go get it now!
