Free best software review. Best computer soft. Top ten programs

ACDSee Photo Manager 2010 version is a software which integrates a photo album, a picture editor and an organizing soft in the same time. However, the soft it has some features and can be used to repair different photo problems like red eye and lightning incorrectly exposure. The color editor of Photo Manager 2010 it’s offer some medium editing capabilities too.

Installation process

The software can be downloaded for free from producer site or directly from our page, for free. Installation of Photo Manager is simple and easy to perform.

Ease of use of the soft

This version of ACDSee Photo Manager is not very easy to use and if the user intuition is not very good, it will be difficult to use in many cases. Anyway, ACDSee offers some well designed possibilities of editing pictures but in most cases, the editing will be a little bit difficult comparing with our top rated editing programs.

Importing and Editing pictures

Photo Manager 2010 is able to import pictures from different media without any problem. The soft is able to import data from CD’s, DVD’s, floppy discs, hard drives, different types of memory cards and USB sticks. ACDSee projected Photo Manager to be able to import data from digital cameras. With just one click and using of “Aquire images” button, the data from the camera will be automatically transferred to the program or to the hard drive. We like very much this import capability of Photo Manager.

The photo editor is an unpleasant surprise for us because is not very good and the advanced features are almost not present. You can edit a picture ins a simple way with some: Color, Exposure, Red-eye removal, Crop and Resize buttons. The advanced tools of Photo Manager 2010 are not implemented in the software so you must choose another program if you want to work with layers or other different advanced editing features.

Sharing and output capabilities

Photo Manager 2010 offers good sharing capabilities and is able to create different pictures galleries. The produced galleries can be uploaded online on the ACDSee servers. The galleries can be viewed from any location, through the Internet. Photo Manager is able to save edited photos in different formats. For a medium computer user, this is enough but you can choose the compression ratio for saved pictures and so on. We can say that version of ACDSee Photo Manager is not very advanced in output capabilities but it offers medium capabilities for an average user.

Organizing capabilities

Photo Manager 2010 have very good organizing capabilities and is a real surprise for us. You have different views to the folders and pictures, with thumbnails and previews. You can organize pics by the name, by the date and you have few different filters for pictures organizing. The soft is very good for this purpose and is a very good choice if you want to organize better your pictures.

Conclusions of the review

ACDSee Photo Manager 2010 is a good software but in few dirrections seems to be weak. We don’t like the output capabilities and very limited editing features but the software is still very good at sharing and organizing capabilities.
