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.

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Useful to know, thanks!
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.

      I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By Nick H. · Posted

      <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
