ACD Systems ACDSee Pro 2 Photo Manager

ACD Systems ACDSee Pro 2 Photo Manager software is a "one-stop" software package for viewing, processing, editing, cataloging, publishing and archiving digital images. Featuring next-generation workflow management and RAW processing, the capabilities of ACDSee Pro 2 leverage the power of today's digital SLR cameras and support an expanding variety of RAW-format files.

ACDSee Pro 2's expanded processing power and speed allows viewing and handling of large RAW files with the speed of smaller JPEGs. File manipulation is made easier with cutting and pasting of RAW photo settings, one-step rotating and cropping, and the software can provide for the recovery of up to two stops of lost highlight detail with the Highlights Recovery slider. Furthermore, RAW files can now be simultaneously exported to up to 14 different formats and multiple resolutions, with options to rename, resize and embed color profiles included in this time-saving operation.

Cataloging images is now even easier with ACDSee Pro 2's improved metadata features, including automated metadata-based file sorting capabilities, and read/write capabilities for XMP sidecar files and digital negatives (DNG). Enhanced editing is made possible through tools such as opacity and blending, channel mixer, and patent-pending shadow and highlight controls. Other key features in ACDSee Pro 2, which is Certified for Windows Vista, include uploading to online services like Flickr and advanced browsing capabilities such as "Group By," "Filter By" and "Events View."
