[Unrated]	2011-09-16		ACDSee Photo Manager: Pros:Great database and fast Cons:If you ever want to change software programs, you lose all your tagging work! ACDSee doesn't write metadata into the files so if your database ever has issues, you can also lose everything. Be smart - before choosing a photo program, make sure you choose something that writes the tags, keywords and metadata you add - i.e. captions to the actual file!
[26]	2006-01-12	Link	Forum Review: ACDSee Pro Photo Manager V8 Powerpack user who doesn't shoot RAW, upgrade is marginal. For V8 user without Powerpack, probably worthwhile. Looks relatively bug-free Printing improved, but still simplistic Workflow good, decent color management & editing

[12]	2005-08-18	Link	Forum Review: Only upgrade a couple versions behind because of frequent new-version bugs, as evidenced by the forum moaning! On plus side, you can accomplish nearly any task on a photo and you don't have to pay for bug fixes (new releases in the same version). "Has some warts" but is the best the user has found so far. Strongly recommends the $80 Powerpack version as it has a great editor.
[5]	2005-07-12		I used ACDSee 5 for a long time. Good software, fast! Much better than 6 (faster). But it�s getting too big now. Some plugins never worked properly. No Colour mangement, but lossless rotate, AUTO rotate from EXIF DATA. Very good function. No real IPTC on Version 5.
[10]	2005-03-22	Link	Forum Review: Paying for upgrades that should be bug fixes. CRW & THM shown seperately in database. Later versions getting slower. Poor service.

[5]	2004-10-28	Link	Forum Review: License agreement prohibits running a second copy of ACDSee on another machine (eg. laptop). Serious customer backlash.
