1. Facebook friendly
Upload photos directly from ACDSee to your Facebook account, fast. Create a new album or select an existing one, add location and description details, and specify the privacy level.
2. Get to know your photos
Behind every photo are the technical details. Now you can access key shooting information while managing, viewing, and editing your photos. The new Info Palette conveniently displays a host of data alongside your photo, 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, without distracting you from your photos.
3. Look up locations
ACDSee uses the latitude and longitude information embedded in your photos to lookup the nearest readable address or place name. Simply select a pin on the map, choose “Reverse Geocode” and ACDSee will write the matching location details into the appropriate IPTC fields.
4. Gradient editing
Apply a gradient to almost any editing effect to subtly progress across your photo. It’s especially handy for images that aren’t evenly exposed or that need fine tuning in only select areas.
5. Boost your bokeh
Attain a realistic bokeh effect with the new Lens Blur filter. Choose the shape and adjust the bokeh frequency and brightness to emulate the pleasing visual artifacts that naturally appear around bright, out-of-focus areas of a photo.
6. Transform with Tilt-Shift
Simulate the popular Tilt-Shift effect to transform your photo into a miniature-scale model. Rotate the lens plane, adjust the bokeh frequency, brightness and sides to get the perfect scene.
