– ACDSee Actions for batch editing enables users to record any sequence of steps using any tool, then apply them to any other image with a single click.
– Automatic lens correction is now available to fix barrel and pincushion distortion inherent to many digital camera lenses.
– Users can take snapshots of the image at any time as they make adjustments to photos and then view or revert to any snapshot taken instantly.
– The dehaze tool will instantly restore clarity to an image, improving the contrast, detail, and color previously lost behind the haze.
– ACDSee’s new Skin Tune tool takes all of the painstaking precision work out of correcting of skin tones in post-processing.
All of the latest ACDSee releases also offer:
– Photos Mode: Your entire collection at a glance, organized by date taken, with popup date markers.
– Collections: Group your photos in one place for a simple take on elaborate, highly complex organising, and for easy searching.
