History

As an image viewer program belongs in the early versions of the most widespread of its kind and already offered a variety of options for viewing, organization and management. The basic functionalities have since been divided into two main sections, the overview mode (browser) and the single-shot mode (viewer). Version 1.0 was released in 1996 and was already running under the operating system Windows 3.1. Since version 3.0, the development went from being just a viewer in the direction of image management, which made ​​itself felt on the functionality and on the file size.

In September 2007, ACDSee Pro has established itself as Professional Version 2 on the one hand by major expansions of the image processing in the image editor, color management, batch processing, IPTC and EXIF ​​editing, etc. but especially by the implemented here powerful RAW converter. Since version ACDSee Pro 2.5 (September 2008), the program supports XMP.

Significant change in the Pro version 3.0 was the new user interface with the underlying editing modes Assets view - processing -Online. In processing mode, this example Images are processed as nondestruktiv in JPG format with the same tools and, as such in RAW format.

In version 4.0, the introduction of a geotagging functionality, in addition to improving the RAW converter, the opportunity to correct chromatic aberrations and color fringing and a modified management of metadata were essential.

With version 5.0, some improvements in the RAW converter (default adjustments, sharpness mask ), a batch export tool, organizational labels, a drawing tool, as well as some additional special effects have been added. ACDSee supports color management, but not CMYK color profiles.

Version 6.0 introduces besides numerous additions and improvements to the development and processing capabilities ( development Brush, Healing Brush, noise reduction, clarity, RAW B & W mode, Cross Process, etc.) a hierarchical model of the keyword database and a separate 64-bit version. With the new color management architecture, Microsoft ICM or Little CMS can be selected as a color management engine.
