ACDSee 8 Photo Manager Review

So I downloaded this program and from the start i liked it. It has a nice layout. the thumbnails enlarged when you hovered the mouse over them, basically easy tools and features from the start. How ever when i went to organize my pics, it would have been easier to do it on the "my pictures" folder. All of my media was scattered all over the place, some pictures were at the top of the list, others in the middle, and some at the bottom. The stuff in bewteen, was Music! Then i tried sorting by pictures and mp3s, that worked fairly well but was confusing at 1st.

For someone who likes organization to be accurate and direct, as i do, this is not the program for you. Let's say you wanted to organize your pictures by a birthday party, vacation, and a holiday. If you already have them in different folders, your work is already done because the only thing this program does is loads your pics and lets you view the folders.

A positive use is if your photos are not in different folders and they are scattered everywhere, you can sort by date taken, and time taken, then all you have to do get them organized is select the photos you want in a folder, and drag them to a new folder.

There are some features about this program that are good for the average photographer, and like almost every program it has its bad sides, but overall i do not suggest this program, one for the time consumption and two for the price.
