What makes the difference between professional and amateur photographers? The way they take the photos? With the latest ACDSee Pro 3, amateur photographers can give a professional touch to their photographs effortlessly. ACDSee Pro’s workflows allow you to easily manage, view, process and publish your images.
Earlier versions of ACDSee Pro supported image editing only for RAW files. With the new version 3, the program supports JPG editing, too, among many other formats.
ACDSee Pro 3 allows you to import your photos from a CD/DVD, external disk, scanner, mobile phone, digital camera, using its efficient ACDSee Device Detector. Once imported, you can easily browse, organize, compare, and find all the photographs you need. Using the View mode, you can browse your images at any given size, enjoy them in slideshow mode, play video and audio files, and even add audio and captions to your own photos. To help you keep your collection organized, you can add tags, categories, and keywords.
When it comes to editing, ACDSee Pro 3 supports more than 100 different RAW and JPEG file formats, thanks to the installed plug-ins that cover almost all professional cameras. Image processing can be done in two different modes - Develop mode and Edit mode. With the former, you can easily enhance any image by setting up the right exposure, correcting its white balance, lighting and color. The sharpening and noise reduction tools will help you to fine-tune specific areas of the image. You can also straighten, cut the lens distortion, and crop the image as much as required. With the latter - the Edit mode - you are offered a wide variety of tools to remove flaws, correct red-eye effects, add text, watermarks, borders, and special effects, and to transform your pictures into stylish black and white images.
Once the image has been processed, it is ready for sharing with your contacts or anyone through ACDSeeOnline.com. On the publishing side, you can use SmugMug Uploader, Zenfolio Uploader, or FTP Uploader to put them up in the net. Finally, the Send Email Wizard will help you send your images using the e-mail system already installed in your computer.

1. Repair photos, non-destructively
- Non-destructively erase flaws, blemishes and other unwanted objects with powerful Heal and Clone options. You can even copy and paste an adjustment — such as the removal of dust spots — onto multiple similar images.
2. Radial and Linear Gradient tools
- Non-destructively apply a radial or linear gradient as you correct exposure, saturation, fill light, contrast, and clarity, to gradually progress outward from a center point or subtly across your photo. Copy and paste settings from one photo to another or apply in batches, and blend multiple gradients for even more compelling results.
3. Sharpen/Blur brush
- Use a brush to non-destructively blur or sharpen a specific area of your images. Choose your brush size and the amount of feathering, and add a linear or radial gradient to help you achieve exactly the look you want.
4. Detail Brush
- Similar to dodge and burn, fine-tune your images by accenting specific details with the stroke of a brush. Emphasize areas by brushing multiple times for a stronger effect.
5. Home base for your databases
- Create as many ACDSee databases as you like, and quickly and easily switch between them.
6. Copy and paste metadata
- Save time by copying and pasting metadata on the fly, from one image to another. Easily select among IPTC, GPS and ACDSee metadata.
7. Info Palette
- Access key shooting information while working with your photos. The Info Palette conveniently displays a host of data alongside your image, including white balance, metering mode, exposure program, and whether the flash fired. Plus see the ISO, f-stop, shutter speed, exposure compensation, focal length, and more, all in one spot.
8. Direct to Facebook
- Quickly send photos from ACDSee to your Facebook account. Create a new album or add to an existing one, specify location, write description details, and choose your privacy level.
9. Tilt-Shift
- Apply the Tilt-Shift effect to transform your photo into a miniature-scale model. Rotate the lens plane and adjust the bokeh frequency, brightness, and sides to get the perfect scene.
