February 10, 2018

ACDSee Photo Studio can accelerate your photography workflow. Manage and view your images with speed and ease. ACDSee Photo Studio is the photography software with the flexibility to adapt to the way you work; helping you optimize every aspect of your workflow.

Unlike catalog-based photo applications, you don’t need to spend valuable time importing files that are already on your hard drive and connected devices.

ACDSee Photo Studio automatically detects your devices, including cameras, photo frames and external memory. Browse these devices directly, and simply drag and drop to copy the images onto your hard drive.

Access folders and files live, in real time. When you browse a folder, ACDSee Photo Studio instantly populates the file list with thumbnails of your photos.

Known Issues

Drag and drop from a mobile device to Windows Explorer does not work, but dragging and dropping from the mobile device within ACDSee is supported.
In some cases, on Windows 7 and 8, when a camera is connected to a computer via USB cable, the Import tool may fail to display media files and will not copy them. In these cases, we recommend copying items from these devices to your computer with Windows Explorer, or import the media through a card reader.
ACDSee uses the base layer's color profile for any additional layers.
.acdc format is not supported in Develop mode.
In the ACDSee Layered Editor, when using the Move tool, you cannot add masks.
Text/Watermark shows incorrect preview in a certain scenario.
Color images turn to black and white when added as layers on a grayscale image.
It is recommended that you restart ACDSee after importing a Lightroom database.
