ACDSee has launched Pro Photo Manager 2.5 - the most powerful platform for viewing, processing, editing, organizing and publishing your photos.

NEW Features in ACDSee Pro Photo Manager 2.5

• Catalog and create backups up front as your images are imported.
• Protect and share your custom metadata via XMP fields.
• Save complex searches for ongoing use.
• Add custom borders, drop shadows and edge effects to photos.
• View more images with UNICODE support.
• Restore your original images at any time, for worry-free editing.
• Present captivating slideshows, enhanced with pan & zoom, black & white, and sepia effects, plus support for music files.

ACDSee Pro Photo Manager Features You Can Rely On:

ACDSee Pro 2.5 makes it easy to multi-task. With the new Import feature, you can organize your photos as you acquire them from your camera or other storage device. Save time by setting categories, ratings, EXIF, IPTC and more as you import new images. Simultaneously rename, auto-rotate, delete, set the destination and create backup copies.

You can improve portability and protect the data in your custom metadata fields, including categories and keywords by embedding them in your images’ XMP fields. You can even embed data in file formats that don’t include IPTC or EXIF fields, such as PNG, PDF and GIF. That means you can easily share your custom metadata with other ACDSee users, and protect critical information.

You can build complex searches based on folder name, file name, location and metadata, then access them again and again, with the new Saved Searches feature.

You can get creative with ACDSee Pro 2.5’s pixel-level editing tools that allow you to control every aspect of your images. ACDSee Pro 2.5 now saves a copy of your original image. Restore your originals at any time, even after several editing sessions.

Plus there’s more:

• View more images with support for UNICODE
• Polish up your photos with a custom border, drop shadow, matte or edge effect
• Create captivating slide shows, now with support for music, pan & zoom, black & white, and sepia effects

Engineered to the demands of professional photographers, ACDSee Pro 2.5’s depth and breadth of features will accelerate your workflow - from import to final output - with precision and control.
