Discover new and improved features in ACDSee Photo Studio for Mac 27 that redefine what’s possible.

ACDSee Photo Studio for Mac 27 gives you more ways to keep your library in order and your imagination wild. New generative AI tools open creative possibilities, smarter organization reveals connections you’d never spot by hand, and the non-destructive photo editing capabilities that you know and love continue to give you full control over every edit. Combined with a revised, more modern look, ACDSee Photo Studio for Mac 27 keeps you ready for what’s next.

AI IMAGE GENERATION

Start With an Idea

Turn a text prompt into an image, choose a preset visual effect, or bring in reference images to guide character, style, and composition. Whether you need a creative concept, a backdrop, or something that doesn’t exist yet, AI Image Generation helps you create what you need right inside your photo workflow.

AI GENERATIVE EDIT

Edit With Words

Describe a change in your own words or use reference images to guide the look. AI Generative Edit lets you reshape a photo without a single brush stroke, and you can do it right from Manage mode. Spot a photo that needs a change while you browse and make it on the spot.

AI REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH

Find It by Sight

Some photos are easier to recognize than to describe. Select any image and let AI Reverse Image Search find every visually related shot in your library, with no tagging and no keywords. It’s the fastest way to track down every frame from a series, every photo of a place, or every shot that just looks right.

Group By AI Image Similarity

See Your Collection Differently

The Group By tool can now group visually related photos, so patterns, near-duplicates, and hidden favorites rise to the surface. Use it on a folder, a handful of folders, or your search results. Pair it with AI Keywords to narrow a broad set down to exactly what you’re searching for. It’s a new lens on a collection you thought you already knew.

ACDSEE TABS

Browse Without Losing Your Place

ACDSee Tabs function just like web browser tabs, providing a familiar and intuitive experience in Manage mode. Open multiple folders within a single window and effortlessly switch between tabs to navigate your files, simplifying your workflow and enhancing your productivity with the clean, streamlined interface that brings all your digital asset collections together in one place. Pick up right where you left off – ACDSee Tabs retain your open tabs between sessions, making it easy to resume previous searches and folder views without starting over.

ACDSEE HOME PAGE

A Better Place to Start

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

REJECT TAG

Cut the Clutter

Not every frame makes the cut, so stop letting the missed ones slow you down. Mark blinks, blurs, and duds with the new Reject Tag as you review, then pull up your rejects and clear them out in a single pass. Take every shot with confidence knowing ACDSee will keep you sorted.

ACTIVITY MANAGER

Nothing Slows You Down

No waiting for tasks to complete—thanks to the Activity Manager, background processing lets you continue working while operations run. Multiple activities run simultaneously, so you can detect faces, keywords, and image similarity, all at the same time without slowing down. AI Image Generation also runs through the Activity Manager, so you can keep working while your images are created. Track progress in real-time and experience a faster, more efficient workflow.

ACDSee Mobile Sync

No need to hit pause. Use the ACDSee Mobile Sync app to send photos and videos directly from your mobile device into ACDSee Photo Studio on your Mac. This free app is available on iOS from the Apple App Store and for Android on the Google Play Store. When you return to home base, simply select and send to transfer your images, complete with any on-the-fly edits.

Migrate from Photoshop™ & Lightroom™

If you are feeling trapped and burdened with an Adobe® subscription but think switching will be a colossal pain in the camera case, rest easy, migration from Photoshop™ and Lightroom™ to ACDSee Photo Studio is a breeze. Unlike the Adobe® products, ACDSee Photo Studio does not require you to laboriously import photo collections. Simply install ACDSee on your hard-drive and point it to your photos – no juggling or running batches – it’s just install and create awesomeness.

Digital Asset Management

  • ACDSee Photo Studio for Mac 27 adds AI Reverse Image Search, Group By AI Image Similarity, and the new Reject Tag to an already best-in-class Digital Asset Management (DAM) toolkit so nothing gets lost, duplicated, or overlooked, no matter how large your library grows.
  • The addition of Tabs in Manage mode lets you navigate your photo collection effortlessly, making it smoother to add ratings, tags, categories, keywords, location data, customizable color labels, and other metadata that keep everything perfectly organized.
  • Powerful search tools like AI Keywords, Saved Searches, Keyword/Category filtering, and the new AI Reverse Image Search make finding the exact shot you need take seconds – not hours – leaving you free to continue your photo management pursuit.
  • Let AI Face Detection & Facial Recognition find and name faces for you, building on the names you’ve confirmed to suggest matches you can accept or reject in batches.
  • Easily eliminate duplicates and streamline your workflow using batch functions – like resizing, renaming, or converting file formats – and more.

Non-Destructive Photo Editing

  • Intuitive and non-destructive RAW photo editing at your command.
  • In Develop Mode, the AI-infused Masking Group helps you automatically select the subject, background, sky, or objects in your image for quick editing – whether you’re making simple adjustments or working with more complex selections.
  • New masking options for Color and Luminance Ranges give you a new way to isolate specific colors and brightness levels in your photos.
  • Easily adjust the selection mask to cover exactly what you need, without affecting the rest of the image.
  • Fix color, balance lighting, and restore image quality using tools like Color and Tone Wheels, Light EQ™, Clone tool and more, all without permanently changing your original file.
  • Instantly compare your adjustments to the original with the new Split View Before/After slider.
  • When working with large batches of photos, use AI Presets that automatically adapt to each image individually, so you can apply consistent edits across many shots and save hours of manual work.
