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.
