    I love ACDSee because it sharpens the images so much, it is amazing! Unfortunately the solution here doesn’t provide that – images are a bit blurry, especially when enlarging. Can something be done with it?

    • wojtiku no but

      I have the same issue. With the A7III and A9 RAWs, it is as if it extracts the thumbnail jpg and displays that, the resolution is very poor. I start seeing pixel “squares” at 50% zoom! This needs to be fixed! I am using ACDSee Standard 2019 on Viewer

    speaking of new RAW formats… when will CR3 (Canon EOS R, Canon M50) be supported? it has been 5 months since the EOS R was released, and the M50 (using the same CR3 format) has been around for over one year…
    a faster update of RAW formats in ACDSee is so necessary… i was hoping the new ACDSee Photo Editor 10 would be able to read CR3. but no…

    Having used ACDSEE for a long time just to view my images I got the same problem with the Sony RAW files. It’s a bit disappointing that this issue is still not addressed. The 2019 version has the same problems.
