   Review - ACDSee

   7.0.47 (Nov 15, 2004)

   ACDSee 7.0 with PhotoPro Is the Way to go...
   
   Have been an ACDSee user for years within the Web Design / Graphic Design Community. I used Classic for years until 5 came out. I found 5 clunky when it came to Video / Audio
   
   6 to be honest was a mistake and I am glad they had a 30-day trial so I could see all the bugs
   
   7 Is excellent... I have a Fuji Camera that shoots Raw files and I needed to upgrade to the ACDSee Plug-in called, "Photo Pro" which supplies all sRGB support as well as manages my RAW file formats perfectly. ACDSee is my choice for image management but I find that they should stay away from managing Video + Audio files ... too clunky and they should keep the program lean and mean.
   
   You can see by the reviews below that people want a small and fast program for viewing images with or without all the bells and whistles...
   
   I myself require the advanced image management features ... but I appreciate the fact that others want it lean and mean.
   
   ACDSee 7 is well worth the money and a good product to have in your utility belt

   Review - ACDSee PowerPack

   7.0 (Oct 6, 2004)

   ACDSee PowerPack 7 is a Gigantic step forward for ACDSystems….
   
   First off... I have to admit the review below takes me by surprise... I have to admit I didn’t have any problems with the program what so ever...
   
   I have been using ACDSee since the Old School days of 3.1 or what I believe they now call Classic ACDSee... being a web designer I have found this title a life saver when trying to quickly find images in a snap and maintain and help my workflow.
   
   I understand the concerns of the previous reviewer but I think the reviewer has one issue that I believe a lot of us Old souls of the Internet Have to admit. "The days of the Free Internet” have gone the way of Boo.com or Pets.com and companies will insert what ever they can into their software to send emails, up sell and try to get you to stick around and purchase to stay competitive against others in the industry. I have no problem with it… This software doesn’t contain any malicious code or spyware and I believe that the only people that will have problems with submitting legit email addresses and software “Phoning Home” are people that obtain software from other than legal means… Fact is if I own it and paid for it … I appreciate the fact that it will automatically link me and notify me for updates / patches etc…
   
   Besides… If the majority of people knew how much of their online traffic behaviors were being monitored by Double-Click or the multitude of cookie sniffers they would have a conniption.
   
   But all of this distracts from the main subject; Reviewing of ACDSee PowerPack 7, which I believe to be a gigantic step forward from the dud, called PowerPack 6. Though 6.0.3 fixed many of the issues (crashes) that 6 had… I believe PowerPack 7 will place ACDSee back in the good books with people that want a software title that delivers their images in a quick and prompt fashion with no glitches or hassles. If I want to open a Tiff, PSD or PNG … no matter what the size, ACDSee pops that bad-boy open in a blink. I trust the brand and believe that ACDSee PowerPack is a fantastic step forward from the blunder of 6.
   
   In my mind I would say that ACDSee PowerPack 7 places ACDSee back into every into the top of the list for Image Management / Picture Viewing and Digital Camera Software.
