The
wait is over for the fastest end-to-end photo
management solution for professional photographers
Press release: January 11, 2006
– ACD Systems International Inc., today began shipping ACDSee™
Pro Photo Manager, the highly anticipated advanced version of
its award-winning ACDSee photo management software. Developed
for professional photographers, ACDSee Pro lets photographers
view, process, edit, catalog, publish and archive their photographs
with unparalleled speed and ease of use. Led by fast RAW file
viewing and batch processing, ACDSee Pro's feature set is designed
to increase productivity with its wealth of professional photo
management and customizable workflow tools.
"ACDSee
is deeply integrated with my daily photography workflow. It's
flat out the easiest to use, fastest, and most natural application
for the work I do," said Serge Timacheff, a professional
sports event photographer. "ACDSee is the best tool for quickly
organizing, renaming and viewing my photos so I can share them
with clients after a shoot."
In ACDSee Pro,
photographers can view their RAW files faster than ever before.
ACDSee Pro's non-destructive RAW processing allows photographers
to adjust the white balance, exposure, sharpness and noise, without
altering the original RAW file, and save the settings as a preset
to apply repeatedly to multiple RAW images. ACDSee Pro complements
the professional workflow with support for DNG and RAW format
support for the latest DSLR models, including the Canon EOS-1Ds
Mark II, 1D Mark II N and EOS 5D, and the Nikon D2X. To ensure
viewing and printing accuracy, ACDSee Pro also features color
management support with ICC color profiles.
Packed with
advanced workflow tools, ACDSee Pro allows professional photographers
to get their post-production tasks done quickly. Using the Batch
Processor tool, photographers can make multiple adjustments to
multiple photos in a single operation, which can be saved as a
preset and used repeatedly. Photographers can also set IPTC information
into groups of photographs at one time. Visual photo tagging allows
photographers to quickly cull photos after a shoot for fast selection
and deletion. With the Compare Image tool, up to four photographs
can be examined at a time, complete with histogram and exposure
details display. Cataloging options in ACDSee Pro include keyword,
categories, rating and notes, meaning that photographers have
a powerful set of organization tools to search, sort and manage
their photographs.
ACDSee Pro gives
professional photographers the ability to customize workspaces,
shortcut keys, metadata display and categories, and delivers instant
access to the tools and information they need. In addition, photographers
can protect their work by adding logo watermarks and copyright
information to their photos. Professional HTML Web gallery templates
are included, so photographers can choose a design, add contact
information and place a company logo to match the look and feel
of their business. ACDSee Pro also offers the ability to print
high-quality photos and contact sheets, create slide shows set
to music, and burn images to CD and DVD.
