ACD Systems ACDSee Photo Editor 4
|
ACDsee is bucking the trend for combining photo-editing and management tools in one application. Photo Editor 4 does just that, editing. If you want to organize your photo library you’ll have to pay extra for Acdsee 10 Photo Manager. Having said that, Acdsee Photo Editor is around half the price of some of the other applications in this group test and there is a special bundle price for the two applications on the ACDSee website which still comes in well below $50. So the choice is yours and it is good value either way.
So to the Editor which, at first glance, has a bit of a retro look about it. The central image window is surrounded on three sides by a toolbar, image basket and on the right a palette dock containing how-to guidance, adjustment filters and an object palette. Expanding the how-to palette reveals ACDSee’s hidden treasure: a stack of guided projects covering the gamut from basic editing to photo fixing and creative projects.
