 ACDSee
Systems released the latest version of their photo management
software,
ACDSee 10 Photo Manager ,
with new features including easy integrated uploading to online
sharing sites like SmugMug and FLickr, the ability to create
PowerPoint presentations and a new Photo Calendar tool for
searching photos.
New Features in ACDSee Photo Manager 10
Sharing
ACDSee's new Uploader tool offers integrated
uploading to online sharing sites like SmugMug
and FLickr. You can also easily add a slideshow or photo layouts
to a Web page or blog with the new Photo Widget, which is
powered by ACDSee Photo Manager’s free album-hosting
service, SendPix.
Real TIme Viewing
The Instant Preview feature enlarges images
when a user scrolls their mouse over thumbnails, without waiting
for the image to open. The Quick View mode is handy for quickly
opening an email attachment or a file on the desktop.
Organizing
The virtual Photo Calendar tool offers searching
for photos and other digital media like scrapbooking kits
by date on a viewer-friendly calendar interface. However,
it doesn't always find photos in subfolders. ACDSee added
a new capability for using multiple keywords to enhance the
search process. Images can be tagged with keywords, ratings,
and metadata. Photos can be assigned to as many categories
as desired and new categories can be added. Other organizing
features include the ability to automatically import, rename
and categorize new images when your camera or other digital
device (including iPods) is connected. The PhotoDisc feature
enables users to organize images stored on CDs and DVDs without
copying them to their hard drive. Photo Manager can now unzip
files and create PowerPoint presentations from within the
software.
Updated Editing Features
ACDSee has enhanced Photo Manager's editing features with
updated tools:
Other Features
Batch editing, a built-in CD/DVD burner, a slide show creator
with transition effects and sound, a new tool for creating
videos, file transfer, a Sync tool for synchronizing your
image folders with and external drive, and the ability to
export image data to text files are other useful features.

organization and creative capabilities. The interface is straightforward
and there are many helpful wizards to walk you through projects.
