ACDsee is not as good as lightroom, nor is it anywhere close to photoshop for editing. Anyone reading this if you have the money to spend on adobe products, just buy adobe LR and PS. For the rest of us who cannot afford adobe's new business model of monthly fees, ACDsee is a great product. I tried it out and it did about 80% of what I wanted it to be able to do. Best part is it costs the same price as what adobe wants me to pay per month for photoshop cc and lightroom. I would much rather own the software than pay a monthly fee for it. Or worse, pay the $1000 adobe wants for both. Check out ACDsee and unless you are a photoshop wizard I bet it will do everything you need it to do for editing.
