July 7, 2006 – ACD Systems has released a new photo editing application, ACDSee Photo Editor, which combines the tools and guidance novice photographers need to correct faults in their digital photos, produce pohoto projects and manage image storage and retrieval.
Interactive How-To lessons in the new application walk users through creative processes step-by-step and are easy enough for even beginners to master quickly. Key features of ACDSee Photo Editor include:
– Adjustment/Filter Variations which allow users to view up to eight different previews of a shot, each preview showing a different variation of the effect, adjustment, or filter.
– Quick fixes for lighting and red-eye correction.
– Step-by-step instructions for creating fun projects like scrapbook pages, CD covers, cards, albums and calendars.
– A Vignette Tool for isolating subjects in portrait shots.
– Text Support, which lets users add descriptive text to creative projects and provides the option to wrap text into thought bubbles or curve text with a simple click.
– Batch Processing, a time-saving tool that allows users to perform certain processes like applying an adjustment/filter, copying objects such as logos, clipart, or images, or creating vignettes to more than one photo at a time with just a couple of clicks.
– A Cookie Cutter Tool for cropping images in pre-set shapes, such as letters, numbers, animals, or shapes, and adding distinctive borders to projects.

Advanced users can create more complex projects in Photo Editor’s object-based environment using selection tools, gradients, masking techniques, blending modes, and in-depth vector object support. The full version of ACDSee Photo Editor is available in English for $US69.99 or $US49.99 for the upgrade from ACDSee Photo Editor 3.1, ACDSee PowerPack, or FotoCanvas.
