I was quite anti-ACDSee before as I thought it was bloated, and while I still don't use its photo management features, I use its cropping / resizing / etc tools in the Viewer itself a lot! It starts up fast, and has a very accessible cropping feature, much faster than launching a standalone Paint app, then copy & pasting or something. The viewer also acts as a file format converter, and has even some very useful photo retouching features, just enough to not make it feel slow and bulky. In short it's an awesome image viewer.

I could be without everything photo mangement related though and I never even start or much less use the file browser.

doubt it'll be faster than 3.1

Yes, this may be a problem on older hardware, but on a modern computer, I can't see how it would make much of a difference. I use ACDSee 7 now and viewer loading time is far less than a sec, at least after the first view. I'd never use it if I felt it wasn't fast. :)

So are they doing what Adobe did with Acrobat 7 and making it fast and useable again? I loved ACDSee when it was just the phot viewer, I will give this a trial run and see how it is. Free upgrades or anything?

IPTC is now available in version 8, and it will only cost you $40 for a feature that should've been in version 7!  :angry:

Unfortunately, they add some few features, call upgrade (instead update) and charge $40!

:crazy:

In addition, I've followed the ACDSee 7 suggestions forum and as far as I could see just one suggestion was (re)added: Favorites.

Regarding speed: it's the same! When I open ACDSee 8 trial I have an impression that version 7 is loading...

Finally, some of the "new" features I already have in ACDSee Photo Editor. ACDSee Systems just copied a feature from one product and pasted into ACDSee 8 (e.g. clone tool).

I'm a registered user of ACDSee (since 4 I think) but they are kidding. In a near future this kind of expensive "upgrade" versus few minor features will be a Public Prosecuter case! They take advantage of their business position over consumers that need their softwares. It's just a matter of time...

By the way, I'm not against ACDSee. I still use ACDSee 7 PowerPack which is great. I'm just disappointed.

    • So what is it, "Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users." or "Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it:" We keep hearing these are rolling out but they never seem to show up, we have force them on with ViVetool. Getting a bit tired of it.
    • Seems very lazy, so basically drain more battery power on laptops/tablets if this is turned on.
    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Appreciate the focus on UI performance, but this is going the wrong way. Instead of optimizing performance, coding to lower latency, etc. this is just throwing horsepower. This is lazy.
