Photographers Benefit from Next-Generation Workflow Management with ACDSee Pro 2
Powerful camera RAW processing, flexible cataloging and advanced editing features make new ACDSee Pro 2 the ultimate all-in-one photo management tool
VICTORIA, British Columbia -- September 11, 2007 -- ACD Systems International Inc. has put a new level of control and convenience into photographers' hands with the release of ACDSee Pro 2, featuring next-generation workflow management and RAW processing functionality tested by thousands of professional photographers.
This updated version of the industry's most complete, "one-stop"
software package for viewing, processing, editing, cataloging,
publishing and archiving digital images is rich with new features. The
capabilities of ACDSee Pro 2 leverage the power of today's digital SLR
cameras and support an expanding variety of RAW-format files. The
upgrade was developed with input from more than 2,500 photographers
from around the globe who participated in a beta-testing program
earlier this year.
"Our Pro 2 software serves professionals and avid amateur photographers
who need advanced tools," said Mark Franklin, executive vice president
of ACD Systems. "The ability to work directly with our customers has
allowed us to develop a product release that will bring unprecedented
efficiency to the photographic community, freeing them to focus on what
they do best -- producing quality images."
ACDSee Pro 2's expanded processing power and speed allows viewing and
handling of large RAW files with the speed of smaller JPEGs. File
manipulation is made easier with cutting and pasting of RAW photo
settings, one-step rotating and cropping, and recovery of up to two
stops of lost highlight detail with the Highlights Recovery slider. RAW
files can now be simultaneously exported to up to 14 different formats
and multiple resolutions. Options to rename, resize and embed color
profiles are also included in this time-saving operation.
Cataloging images is now even easier with ACDSee Pro 2's improved
metadata features, including automated metadata-based file sorting
capabilities, and read/write capabilities for XMP sidecar files and
digital negatives (DNG). Enhanced editing is made possible through
tools such as opacity and blending, channel mixer, and patent-pending
shadow and highlight controls. Other key features in ACDSee Pro 2,
which is Certified for Windows Vista, include uploading to online
services like Flickr and advanced browsing capabilities such as "Group
By," "Filter By" and "Events View."
"I haven't found a better program than ACDSee Pro to blaze through my
workflow. I can fly through a thousand-picture assignment and have a
tight edit sent to a client in no time," said David Honl, a
photojournalist based in Istanbul, Turkey.
