It is a nice package... but it is not the fastest viewer on the market. I did some timing tests using RAW images on a number of products.. and ACDSEE falls right in the middle... photo Mechanic is #1, Breezebrowser #2, Thumbsplus #3, ACDSee was #4, Picasa was #5, XnView was #6, Bridge (CS3) was #7, Idimager was #8 and bringing up the rear (unfortunately) was Lightroom as #... I still use Lightroom for my professional needs as it is a complete editing/cataloging solution.. but boy is it SLOW. Anyway.. just thought I would share...
Not much of an upgrade from Version 9 but here are the differences:
- Mouse over thumbnail to zoom it
- Keywords with spaces (IPTC)
- Integrated unzipping of archives (only ZIPs)
- Red eye correction fixed and improved
- Basic selection tools (shape/freehand/magic wand)
- Apply modifications (corrections/effects) to selections
- Integrated upload to Flickr and Smugmug
- Blog photo widget, feed from Sendpix online album
- Create Microsoft PowerPoint presentations (PowerPoint required)
- New type of Calendar view, with thumbnails (not mentioned on the webpage)
Might want to check out Photo Manager Pro 2 too if you are a photographer...
