Non-destructive AI Presets save you immeasurable editing time and support for the high-fidelity JPEG XL format ensures you’re equipped to take on the future.
Remove Noise, Not Detail
AI Denoise uses advanced machine learning to automatically target pixelated noise while preserving critical detail. Instantly refine high-ISO images or shots taken in challenging lighting to maintain a natural, sharp, and professional finish. AI Denoise ensures your photos remain clean, detailed, and true to life.


Intricate Hair Selection in an Instant
Save even more time while editing your photos by letting Gemstone’s intuitive AI Hair Masking make one-click hair selections for you. This allows you to adjust the color and lighting of one of the trickiest elements in portrait photography – hair – without affecting the rest of the image.


Untapped Non-Destructive Editing Prowess
Intelligent, non-destructive style at your fingertips. AI Presets are an absolute game-changer for hobby and commercial photographers alike. The AI analyzes your photo and applies gorgeous adjustments, significantly reducing the time you spend editing. Make your subject pop, correct background lighting, or imprint your authentic style with just a click.


New Portrait Possibilities
Effortlessly make retouching portraits feel intentional, not artificial. Enhance natural beauty or completely alter facial parameters using the tools in AI Face Edit that you already know and love – like skin smoothing, eye and eyebrow adjustments, nose contouring, teeth whitening, and more. Extend your capabilities with new additions in version 16:
AI Hair: Control hair color and clarity with adjustments for Temperature, Tint, Saturation, and more in the new Hair Group. Options for natural and unnatural hair colors give you full creative freedom to remain organic or push past societal norms.
Splotch Removal: Easily blend out blemishes, not texture, with the Splotch Removal tool added to the Skin Group.


Compare edits instantly with the Before/After Slider in ACDSee RAW. Drag the vertical bar to see the original image on the left and your adjustments on the right for accurate, real-time previews.
The Clone Tool now shows a live preview before placing the cloned content. Align lines, textures, and shadows accurately before committing changes for more intuitive editing.
ACDSee Gemstone Photo Editor 16 is ready for the next generation of image formats with support for opening, editing, and saving files in JPEG XL (JXL). Positioned to modernize digital image storage and transmission, JPEG XL offers much better efficiency and quality for photography and digital art than plain old JPEG.
