Love ACDSee- I just use it for my digiscrappin stuff and haven't tried any of the phto editing capabilities.
Some of my favorite featrues- Version 10- can unzip files, view brush files, can also use it to "load" font files without having to install them. Have also been able to play several different movie/video formats and - it's jsut a great organizational tool. Course- the organizing bit does take time but sure worth it because of teh variety of search options. Only downside is that some folks have been having problems with it (Version 10) freezing and shutting down quite a bit. I don't let that bother me- it reopends pretty quickly. DigiScrapInfo is a great resource. They even have some video tutorials if you would like to watch the program in action.
