Description :
ACDSee Gemstone Photo Editor includes everything you need to import, catalog, process, photomontage, and retouch images using geolocation data and facial recognition.
The tool includes Develop (with Raw conversion) and Edit (retouching and photomontage) sections.
Images are opened through the first window, which also provides access to recently processed photos and offers the option to create images from scratch according to predefined or custom definitions and formats.
Raw files are then opened through the development interface: ACDSee Raw, and then through the editor itself, where, for example, the image is entered directly, without this intermediate step.
ACDSee Raw is similar to Camera Raw with tools for tonal and color correction, noise and sharpness control, geometric and optical correction, and the correction of minor defects.
Some effects, such as adding grain, are also available.
Local retouching tools (brush, gradient mask) are also included. The editor offers complete layer management, including merge masks, Image, Adjustment, and Text layers, and layer styles.
The retouching functions are partially based on the Develop functions.
History is included.
