I find ACDSee Photo Studio Professional's interface friendlier than that of Capture One Pro or DxO PhotoLab, but Lightroom CC is simpler-unsurprising, as that has fewer tools.

Other highlights include support for high-DPI displays, Snapshots that let you make copies in mid-edit, Dehaze and Skin Tune tools, and a good selection of filters and effects. Select around edges and irregular shapes. Give your images an old, film grain look. Select and mask by targeting specific brightness ranges and colors within the image. Optimize your workflow with predefined and customizable hotkeys. Manage recordings and batch apply any of 125+ preloaded recordings to multiple images at once. Wirelessly and instantly send photos and videos directly to ACDSee Photo Studio from your mobile device. Allows you to distort objects in images without compromising quality. The equivalent to Adobe's Content-Aware fill tool-letting you easily remove objects from images with consistent backgrounds. Some other recent additions since our last review: These are now customizable in Manage mode. Creates selections based on the brightness in images. Decodes this high efficiency media container format (used by newer iPhones) for images and image sequences. This lets you apply powerful LUTs (lookup tables), presets for different color looks. The tool is available in Develop and Edit modes. You can now use the brush for vibrance, white balance, and color adjustments.
Automatically identifies faces and assigns a name to them. Here's a cheat sheet of what's new for the 2019 model:
The latest version of ACDSee Photo Studio Professional adds quite a few new tools and capabilities since we last tested the software. What's New in ACDSee Photo Studio Professional You can use ACDSee as a Photoshop plug-in, convert Lightroom catalogs for it, and integrate with OneDrive for cloud storage. As with most such software, ACDSee Photo Studio Professional prompts you to create a backup of the catalog file each month. The catalog also stores any organization you do with a photo, such as keyword tags, ratings, notes, and more. With either app, you can keep photos on whatever storage you like, and the catalog will keep track of its location. Lightroom (9.99 Per Month at Adobe) uses a catalog in exactly the same way. After editing, you simply export a version of the edited image. This is a database that enables non-destructive editing, saving your edits separately from the original photo flies. This takes you through the program's features, and is thorough and helpful.Īfter choosing your photo folder, you get the option of building a catalog. The next step is going through an introductory wizard with a quick-start guide. The program then restarts, has you choose a default photo folder, and then you're ready to edit photos. No matter how you obtain the software, you need to sign up for an account and respond to an email verification. That's well under Lightroom's 2GB, but more than CyberLink PhotoDirector's 370MB. I installed the application on a 4K-monitor-toting Asus Zen AiO Pro Z240IC ( at Amazon), where it occupied 461MB of disk space. The Windows program, reviewed here, requires a 64-bit CPU and at least 2GB RAM (6GB RAM or more recommended), an Intel i3 or better processor, 512MB Video RAM (VRAM), a DirectX 10 compatible graphics adapter, 1024-by-768 display resolution (1920-by-1080 recommended), and 2GB of available hard drive space. That program also converts raw camera images, performs batch operations, and geo-tags maps, but it lacks the Windows version's face recognition, LUT support, and local brush adjustments.
