    why ACDSee pro (pro)

    can not open psd files over 300-500 mb and HDR HDRi files (is this an option?)

    And why it is slower than ACDSee 3.1 that I always use.

    Thank you for your lights

    What program makes these HDR / HDRi files?

    I'd say if it's not very common and/or is proprietary, chances of ACDSee supporting it isn't very big. Especially in the latter case where ACDSee would probably have to pay the owner of the file format to use it (thus increasing the price of ACDSee program). Just guessing though.

    Thank you for your reply (and sorry for my "not pro" english :)
    many 3d designers and photographers use and makes HDR HDRi files (suche programs
    I do not understand why in this case a program is qualified for the Pro does not integrate and can not read.
    I don't understand why (throught different version) ACDSee can't open large images(300/400mo) such as tiff / tga / psd files. (my 3.1 version can do that, sometimes, but often crash : )
    This program can not be described as pro in my opinion. Great potential but not mature for heavy workflow, too much "bling bling aesthetic" choices and no enough ergonomic/core engine abilities (64bits/no latency large  image viewer/pro format supported...)

    I agree that support for more formats would be welcomed by many.  But I'd just say there are different types of pros, and many of them don't use special hdr formats, so the mere lack of support for those shouldn't prevent a product from being used by many pros.

    I totally agree, everyone does not use HDR.

    What bothers me most is that ACDSee Pro 3 does not know how to open large files (psd/tiff/tga ...) over 400 mb when did (occasionally) ACDSee 3.1.

    My question is rather that is ACDSee Pro will be developed for 64-bit (native) ?

    I too need support for larger TIFF and PSD files. I would settle for just good TIFF support. Almost every pro produces large TIFF files to send to the printer. And yes ACDSee cannot even display these files much less do anything with them. Why does ACDSee have such limited TIFF support? I have 4GB of RAM. Even Canon's free software can handle them.
