Browse Fast
Browse your existing collection instantly. There's no need to spend time importing your photos into a separate library. Access your folders and files live, in real time. Sort, group and filter photos by camera information, edited state or other criteria for super-fast scanning. You can also browse by date or event to see photos from a specific occasion.

Organize your way
Create custom categories, add descriptive keywords, edit EXIF and IPTC metadata, and assign ratings to your photos. Tag images with one click and bring them all together for further editing or sharing. You can even organize your photos as you import them from your camera or storage device, saving you even more time. New Color labelling capability takes you to a whole new level of visual tagging and image organization.

Organize by location
Find and organize your photos by location with new Map view and geotagging support. Instantly view the location of images from GPS-enabled cameras, or quickly add location information yourself. Finding, viewing, and selecting images is as easy as zooming in on the map and clicking the marker to select all the photos you shot at that location.

Eliminate flaws
Easily remove red eye from your photos. Full controls in the Red Eye Reduction tool allow you to adjust the color and the intensity for a natural look. Plus magically erase flaws, blemishes and other unwanted objects with the Photo Repair tool’s powerful Heal and Clone options.

Edit selectively
Use the Selections tool to choose a specific area of your photo. Correct exposure, change the color, adjust details, or add a special effect to part of your photo instead of the entire image. You can even save your selections for ongoing use.

Frame your memories
Add a border or text to your favorite photos. Customize the color, texture and thickness to suit your shot. You can also blur or raise the edges, and add a drop shadow to perfectly complement the mood and atmosphere of your photo. Or, try a vignette to really emphasize your photo subject.

Make a little magic
Choose from more than 20 special effect filters to add some dazzle to your images, including the latest Orton, Lomo and Collage effects. Preview the results of each effect on your photo before selecting the one you prefer. Adjust a specific area or the entire photo. Your original photos are always saved, so go ahead and experiment!

Achieve the best light and color
Rescue photos that are too light or too dark with the Lighting tool, powered by ACDSee’s patented LCE (Lighting and Contrast Enhancement) technology. Instantly lighten shadows and reduce highlights in one click, or adjust individual sliders to fine tune every aspect. Change the tonal range, white balance, and color balance of your photos with easy-to-use adjustment tools.
