ACDSee™ 6.0.3 PowerPack – $79.99 USD

I still don't get it? How can you all compare a FREE program with something that costs 79.99!? (Forget that it use to cost money) That's ludacris!

ACDSee by itself is only $49.99. Yeah, you certainly have a point. $50 is a long way from 0.

Adobe gives a free version of its Photo Album 2 software:

Here is a comparison of features against the full program:

How does it compare to this free Picasa download? I would think pretty darn good, especially since it is also free.

Anyone know for sure though? I simply have not had the time to do a full on ghost of the machine, and then install and test both apps.

Thanks,

BK

Edit: Oops, I just noticed a few posts deep in to that thread it says that.

I guess this thread is kinda redundant, o well :)

I downloaded Picassa at the weekend, it scanned my drives and found pictures I didn't know I had :o

One thing I found though, is that occasionally windows will come up with a window saying downloader.exe has caused an error and will be closed. I imagine that this is a part of picasa as I'd never seen it until I installed the said program.

like what? i'm curious because I'd like to take a look :)

I'd like to know too.

Did anyone find out if there's a way to zoom in edit mode? I know there's the slider in the library view but I don't want them all scaled just one that I am looking at, which is small.

I'd like to see support for animated gif files and gif/png transparency in future version though. Other than that I love this program.

What do you mean with category support. I mean i just looked at the software and you can built you own collections... isn't this like a category?

in acdsee and adobe photoshop album you can create categories and assign them to your pictures. you can then sort and search by category (especially nice in acdsee). you can create custom categories so you can group photos together without having to move them or break up for collection.

i like this picasa program. I really like the enhance photo feature, but I noticed that after it enchanches the picture it doesnt stay when i open the pic for example internet explorer or "windows picture or fax viewer". Does Adobe Photoshop have that feature? If so can someone point out the plug-in (that enhances the picture like in picasa), if there is one. thank you really much.

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
    • Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.
    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
