believe it or not Acdsee 3.2 is doing just fine....never found a need to upgrade.... but i am sure 8.0 has lots of new features for the pro...

[BroChaos Veteran]

acdsee 7 was really nice, although i never used it much. hopefully 8 keeps the momentum moving in the right direction again.

better than ACDSee7. it's pretty fast to load pictures.

My favorite version is ACDsee 3.1, it launched fast and had just enough features.

Is it fine to install ACDSee 3.1 on WindowsXP, I hear it cause problems? I like to install it, but can not take risk

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

[pandi]

could anybody tell me how to disable acdsee's audio and video preview please?

I tried to disabled them in options. but when I explorer from a pic to a mp3 file, it still get ready to play that file, and it's take 5-10 secs.

hate this..

thanks..

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?

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. :)

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:

[RadishTM Veteran]

The trial is quite fast IMO.

Radish?

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

:crazy:

[Oblivion]

Gonna Give ACDSee 8 A Try :)

[Carlos11]

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.

[Galley]

It wouldn't be so bad if they gave a decent discount on upgrades, but they don't. ACDSee is $50, but to upgrade from version 7 is $40!

[Pink Floyd Veteran]

I prefer ACDsee classic. I think it was version 2.43 or something

nothing as fast as that version and minimal..

How is this better than Picasa ?
