Some of the other new features provided in the latest edition of ACDSee’s software include:

  • AI Denoise (only in Professional and Ultimate editions): Tackle noisy, high ISO photos in one go, while preserving the fine details. Batch process as many shots as you need without slowing your system down.
  • AI Hair Masking: Making quick selections around hair… one of the trickiest parts of portrait editing… is now just a click away. You can fine-tune lighting or even completely change the colour without disrupting the rest of the image.
  • AI Develop Presets: These apply non-destructive edits, specific to each individual photo, automatically. Want consistent tone and style across an entire batch? Just apply and let the AI do its thing.
  • Expanded Activity Manager: This one will especially save you time. Import, export, convert, resize, or apply presets behind the scenes while you keep working, thanks to background, multi-threaded processing.
  • Video Metadata Support: If you work with video files, you can now see GPS and detailed metadata, including advanced search filters and auto-category support, right in your DAM workflow.
  • JXL Support: JPEG XL (JXL) format is now supported, including IPTC metadata – helpful if you’re embracing modern, efficient file formats.
  • Plus, other handy new & improved features like the new ACDSee Home Page, better ACDSee Tabs, and enhanced Dashboard analytics all designed to keep your productivity flowing.
