ACDSee digital photo software makes it easy to import, view, organize, print, enhance, share and archive your digital photos. ACDSee is easy to use for everyone from beginner to professional level, and also powerful and flexible enough to meet your needs as your image collection grows. "Indispensable," says American Photo Magazine of this picture viewer.


Import and See Pictures and Video Fast
ACDSee's 3-step Acquire Wizard automatically finds pictures for importing from cameras, scanners, CDs and other devices. See all your images and videos instantly, whether they are in folders or on CDs. View your pictures and video fast, as small thumbnails or in the full screen picture viewer. Check details by zooming, panning, or using the magnifying glass view.

Correct and Enhance for Superb Photos
Use one-click tools such as exposure adjustment to fix photos fast. Use precision controls for fine adjustments to color, brightness and contrast. Fix red-eye. Rotate, resize and crop to standard print or screen sizes. Plus, apply filters such as sepia for stylish effects. ACDSee digital photo software gives you more options for precision and batch editing than any other product in its class.

Find Any Image and Organize to Save Time
No matter where your photos are, whether you have hundreds or thousands, you can always find them fast with ACDSee. See and find images without having to set anything up. Click folders and CDs to view the images inside them. Click calendar dates to view by day, week or year. Sort thumbnail-size views by any image property such as file size or camera metadata. Perform precision searches. Organize photos into categories, personal ratings and favorites lists for fast retrieval.

Share Prints, Slideshows, Web Albums and Photos on CD/DVD
Print images in popular sizes or contact sheets. Burn photos to DVD or CD. Make slideshows and screensavers. Share on the web and e-mail. Order prints from nationally-recognized online print services and create unique photo gifts such as mugs and stickers.

Archive and Back Up Pictures for Safekeeping
Archive photos, video and other files to CD or DVD using a wizard. Back up the image database in full or incremental backups.

Save Time with Power Features: Batch, Database, Plug-ins...
ACDSee's flexible design lets you do things your way. Power features -- including a relational database for fast searches, metadata tools, customization features and more batch functions than any other product -- give you precise control and time-savings when working with images. Plus, add digital photo software plug-ins to ACDSee for additional specialized features, such as scripted editing (ACD RoboEnhancer) and professional-quality printing (ACD FotoSlate).

New Photo Sharing and Printing Features
* Burn photos to CD and DVD for archiving or sharing. Choose to add the ACDSee image database information to your disc.
* Create HTML slide shows to share on the web or on CD and DVD. Create and save standalone slide shows that anyone with a computer can view.
* Create screensavers. Add Hollywood-style transitions to make fun photo shows of great memories.
* Print photos in popular print sizes such as 4x6 and 5x7 or make your own print size.
* Improve the quality of images you print with new resampling filters.

New Organizing and Sorting Features
* Get photos from your camera in three easy steps with ACDSee's Acquire Wizard that automatically finds pictures for importing from cameras, scanners, CDs and other devices.
* Rate photos to group them. Tend to keep all your photos - even the not-so-great ones? Use ACDSee's built-in photo rating system to quickly tag the good, the bad and the "maybes". Then sort based on your rating.
* Collect photos in a temporary "image basket" to use together for any ACDSee activity. It's a handy way to gather images and video from many places to share, print or edit.
* See photos in many folders, CDs or categories at once. Using the new Easy Select checkbox, just select folders or categories to see a combined view of all images they contain.
* Find photos in different ways at the same time - even if you're disorganized. Using Selective Browsing, combine search results from folders, categories and the calendar to show every photo you want in a single window. For example, click on categories named Landscapes and Mountains, the months of January to June, and a folder from yesterday all at the same time. Selective Browsing, unique to ACDSee, allows you to be inconsistent in how you store photos and still find the ones you need.
* Sort media files by any property, including file properties such as name, date and size; EXIF metadata properties; or database information such as keywords and ratings.
* Assign key words to files using a master key word list to ensure speed and consistency in your media library.

New Viewing and Editing Features
* Use a Magnifying Glass view to examine the detail in a photo as you move the mouse pointer over it. Great for checking for photo imperfections or seeing detail in very large photos.
* Use the Pan Lock feature to flip between photos automatically zoomed to the same picture area. Ideal for comparing detail in a series of photos (such as those with bracketed exposures).
* See pictures exceptionally fast with ACDSee's Instant Image Preview.
* Edit photos as you view them, without needing to open separate software.
* Get before and after previews and an easy to use edit pane for common tasks.
* Apply the Unsharp Mask filter to sharpen those not-quite-crisp photos, and the new Linear, Radial, Spread and Zoom blurring filters to stylize your images.
* Crop photos to standard print sizes easily.
* Remove color cast from images.
* Rotate and trim video.
