This new software tool aims to include everything for the post-processing of your digital photos.New features include a smart sharpener, split toning, dodge and burn, digital effects, a new tagging option involving colours, batch export and removal of metadata.Priced at 150 240, can ACDSee Pro 5 compete with the multitude of similar programs on the market today.Despite the extra security, it doesnt take that long to get through everything and we were opening the program around 5 minutes later.
Acdsee Review Software Tool AimsIn the Manage section, which is the first one that opens up, to the left is the navigation system and although its reminiscent of opening My Computer on Windows, theres a nice white band striking through the selected folder. To the right are a number of organisational options such as number ratings for importance, coloured labels as well as metadata. In the bottom left corner is the first picture or subsequent selected pictures and their corresponding histogram and EXIF data. Theres a small, very sensitive slider in the bottom-right to zoom in and check focus. Next to the slider is a number of zoom settings that go up to a whopping 10,000. Simple editors such as rotate and scroll are available as well as setting an external editor. Any of these checked images then line up in a thumbnail gallery along the bottom of the screen. Its laid out differently (there are three tabs at the top for Tuning, Detail and Geometry) but all the features are there such as white-balance correction, lighting, split tone and curves. You can also do an all round clean up with the General tab that houses exposure, highlights and fill lights, contrast and vibrance. The adjustments they make are very sympathetic to the picture. Theres also an automatic setting that you can activate by either clicking in the picture or sliding the pointer depending on the action youre performing. White-balance will also sample from any point in the picture that you click on. To say that the sharpening system in the Detail tab is sublime is putting it gently. In fact, were going to use this for all our sharpening in the future. As well as the amount, radius and threshold normally seen in Unsharp Mask, theres also a Mask option which increases the intensity of the sharpening in a similar way to adjusting the opacity on a layer. On this page you can do more stuff thats available in a main editing suite such as dodge and burn, colour balance, levels, and curves. We thought that this was getting strung out - going through all the different sections - so we were relieved to see that the Edit page has sharpening and noise reduction here too.
