I personally like them very much and will continue to use them. BUT: I think the time to deal with the database issues is long overdue.</p> <p>IMHO: After a clean install and running the catalogue on a few folders, you immediately get tens of thousands of file fragments on the hard disk from the huge ACD Database files. I keep the folders on a small "Temp" partition to avoid messing up my system drive all the time, but still the defrag is a nuisance. This is just asking for trouble. It can not work reliably in the long run. Home or pro users all have tons of images and subsequently the database is always a problem, because of the technical aspects.</p> <p>My humble suggestion: MOVE IT ! Outsource it to a real DBMS or at least provide us with an option to ODBC connect it. Then we can use whatever DMBS server we have in the company, or use a small footprint locally run DBMS. Free ones are available too.</p> <p>My prediction: would be a huge improvement. Speed, reliability, modularity, scalability. Data independece. Not to speak about sharing the database and assets in a corporate network.</p> <p>That would be my ACDDream See or Pro. I would rather pay a hundred more bucks for the thing and have peace of&nbsp;mind than this. Please. Please.</p> <p>Everyone: join me and vote for a REAL database in ACDSee.&nbsp;ACDSee people: cheers !</p> <p>Kind Regards</p> <p>George</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/canon-7d-raw-support#post-42490 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 22:09:43 +0000 BShrader 42490@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>How soon can we expect processing support for raw file from the new Canon 7D?</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/problems-with-videofiles-in-mod-format#post-45166 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 23:17:11 +0000 Janeka 45166@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>Hi Everbody,</p> <p>Im using ACDSee 2.5 and Windows 7.</p> <p>I would like to organize also my videos with ACDSee.

Sometimes it crashes near the start of the process, sometimes near the end, but it never gets to the end. The programme freezes and I have to end the process using task manager and resort to using Lightshop to import the photos. If I wanted to use Lightshop I would have started with that!</p> <p>I presume it must be the buffer filling or something. There seems to be plenty of room on all my hard disks. Any ideas?</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/exifimagedatetime-original#post-34890 Thu, 09 Apr 2009 00:28:01 +0000 drgaon 34890@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>I have all versions of ACDSee since the Classic.I am a plastic surgeon and accurate time identification of photos is paramount. I use EXIF:Image:Date/time original in my thumbnail info.</p> <p>All was nice and fine until ACDSee Pro 2.0 and subsequent builds. My original times changed all over the place. Each time a picture was processed in Photoshop CS3 the time was off by hours or days.</p> <p>I went back to ACDSee Pro and all was fine. Recently I received a complimentary ACDSee 2.5 upgrade build 363. I love the upgrade and it's speed. Unfortunately if I send any photo to Photoshop CS3 or Photoshop CS4 and then save it under the same name or another name the EXIF:Image:Date/time original shifts back by one hour.</p> <p>When I open the same folder in Adobe Bridge, Adobe Lightroom 2.3 or in ACDSee Pro the timings show correctly. I use an Alienware workstation computer; Windows XP Pro operating system.</p> <p>I have just reverted back to my ACDSee Pro. It makes me sad that I have now to rely more and more on Adobe Bridge instead on my favorite ACDSee.</p> <p>Tell me if there will be another build that could correct this, or if at least ACDSee Pro 3.0 will.</p> <p>Thank you, A.

I want to set dates on those where I can. In most cases I do not know an exact date. Sometimes I might know a year, or approx year range, sometimes I might know that a holiday was taken in a given month of a year but not the date etc.</p> <p>Is there any way in ACDSee Pro 2.5 to handle such partial dates? As far as I can see, the Organize pane requires completely specified dates which I dont have. I dont want to have to enter, say, 1 Jan 1965 for a photo I know was taken sometime in 1965. I'd like to do as you can with genorlogy programs, enter a date such as 'about 1965' or say 'April 1965' - and yet also have the program use these dates for chronological sorting.</p> <p>Thanks for any help/advice.</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/colour-management-and-printing#post-40174 Thu, 06 Aug 2009 09:15:45 +0000 BrettB 40174@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>I currently print using Photoshop Elements as this is giving me the most accurate colour management (although most processing is done via ACDSee and another program - Serif's PhotoPlus 10 so that I can use a plug-in).</p> <p>I cannot get an accurate print from ACDSee.</p> <p>For example, a monochrome picture with a (very) slight warmth added with a sepia tone shows very much the same on screen &nbsp;in ACDSee (2.5 and 3.0 Beta). Printed via PSE using a dedicated profile the result is very close to the screen image. Printed from ACDSee the print has a much stronger tone, brown verging on pink/magenta.</p> <p>The printer is a Canon i965 and I am using the same printer settings in both instances. The monitor is calibrated.</p> <p>Black &amp; White is always trickier to get right, but is anyone getting a successful match via ACDSee?
