WHAT’S NEW

WHAT’S NEW IN ACDSEE PHOTO STUDIO HOME 2026?

Discover new and improved features in ACDSee Photo Studio Home 2026 that redefine what’s possible.

NEW

DEHAZE

Reveal Your Vision

Transform a dull, muted image into one that feels sharp, dimensional, and alive with the Dehaze tool. Applying Dehaze restores depth and vibrancy by cutting through the haze, fog, or smoke to show richer contrast, clearer details, and more accurate colors. It’s especially useful for landscape photography where distant mountains, city skylines, or natural vistas lose impact due to haze, but it’s equally powerful for everyday shots that need clarity and punch.

NEW & IMPROVED

EXPANDED ACTIVITY MANAGER

Be Unstoppable

No more waiting for tasks to complete—thanks to the updated Activity Manager, background processing lets you continue working while operations run. With multi-threading, multiple activities run simultaneously, so you can import, export (one of the most requested enhancements), convert and resize batches of photos, and detect faces, all without ever slowing down. Track progress in real-time and experience a faster, more efficient workflow designed for high-volume demands.

ACDSEE HOME PAGE

Take charge of your workflow from the moment you launch ACDSee. The new Home Page gives you immediate access to essential tools. Jump into Quick Searches, filter your photos with one-click options like Recently Modified or Tagged, and perform common tasks such as creating or importing images, finding duplicates, or cataloging files—all from a single screen.

FACE DETECTION & PEOPLE MODE

Narrower face labels in View Mode ensure no one is missed while using AI Face Detection on group photos. Find your people faster with new grouping options in People Mode, ACDSee Photo Studio’s AI-driven mode for identifying and managing people in your portfolio. Change modes without skipping a beat, your selection will remain right where you left it as you switch between modes.

ACDSEE TABS

Pick up right where you left off. ACDSee Tabs can now retain your open tabs between sessions, making it easy to resume previous searches and folder views without starting over.

VIDEO METADATA SUPPORT

Your video files are now a seamless part of your workflow. View GPS details and standard metadata fields in the Properties pane’s default view, or dive deeper into the video and audio streams with the new All Video Metadata view. With Advanced Search supporting video-specific fields, and many new Auto Categories to search your video files, you have everything you need to organize and manage your videos – on your terms.

IMPROVED FILE SUPPORT

Broaden your editing and metadata options with added IPTC metadata support for JPEG XL (JXL), and AVIF formats.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

It’s Not Magic, it’s ACDSee

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in ACDSee Photo Studio Home 2026 doesn’t take over – you remain in full control while the AI-driven tools amplify your impact. There is no limit to your potential thanks to zero-effort features like AI Super-Resolution for instant smart photo enhancement and AI Facial Recognition for easy organization and searching. The software never relies on remote servers to process your images, unlike some competitors. That means real-time results and complete privacy when using AI features. Create without limits and keep your head – not your files – in the clouds.

EDIT MODE

Complex Photo Editing Made Easy

Every detail in your images is under your control, no matter the conditions you faced when shooting. Boost colors with powerful tools like Split Tone and Color EQ, refine composition with cropping, flipping, resizing, and rotation, and fix common flaws using Skin Tune, red-eye correction, and clarity adjustments. Add personality and polish by removing haze, adding grain, inserting text, borders, vignettes, watermarks, or even drawing on your image. Delve into the details with targeted edits and brush on special effects to make photos exactly as desired.

Digital Asset Management (DAM)

The larger your digital asset archive, the more power you need to tame it – and that’s exactly where ACDSee delivers. Advanced AI-powered Digital Asset Management tools help you organize and search photos without losing momentum. Skip the slow imports, ACDSee connects directly to your hard drive and gets to work, completing the laborious tasks for you.

MANAGE MODE

As you navigate your photo collection, add ratings, tags, categories, keywords, location data, customizable color labels, and other metadata to keep everything perfectly organized. With powerful search tools like AI Keywords, Advanced AND/OR Search, and Quick Search, finding the exact shot you need takes seconds – not hours – leaving you free to continue your photo management pursuit. Easily eliminate duplicates and streamline your workflow using batch functions – like resizing, renaming, or converting file formats – and more.

VIEW & PEOPLE MODES

With AI Face Detection & Facial Recognition, your photo library becomes more intuitive. ACDSee automatically detects the faces in your photos so you can name them for quick searching. Once you begin, the software will immediately learn which names to put to which faces and suggest possible matches when needed. Accept or reject AI-generated suggestions in batches and watch as your collection aligns itself with the people who matter most to you. Whether you’re cataloging decades of family history or managing professional shoots, ACDSee gives you the speed, accuracy, and flexibility to stay ahead without missing a moment.
