ACD Systems Launches ACDSee Photo Studio for Mac 11, Giving Photographers on macOS Accelerated and Intuitive Photo Management and Editing

VICTORIA, BC (November 13^th, 2024) – ACDSee announces the release of ACDSee Photo Studio for Mac 11, the latest version of its powerful photography software, designed for photographers of all levels—from budding creatives to seasoned professionals —on the Mac platform. With an array of new Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered tools and improvements, this all-in-one software is crafted to streamline digital asset management and accelerate your photo editing experience.

Top new and improved features include:

• AI Super-Resolution: Prepare shots for printing or restore low-resolution images with minimal time and effort by applying AI Super-Resolution to multiple images at the same time.
• Non-destructive AI Selection Masking: Select the subject, background, or sky in your photos with one click.
• Non-destructive AI Object Masking: Quickly outline an object in your image and watch as the AI makes a precise selection for you, even on the most complex edges.
• Selection Mask Refinement: Feather your selection mask or shift the edges if needed for cohesive editing results.
• New Adjustment Filters: Fine-tune the Vibrance, Temperature, Tint, Color Strength, and Color Hue in your images to recreate what you saw during your photo shoot.
• Import a Lightroom™ Classic database: For users migrating from Adobe Lightroom™, ACDSee’s database import tool allows a smooth transition by importing collections, keywords, and more—without the hassle of reorganization.
• Improved People Mode: Make quick work of naming the faces in your photos with Auto Advance, get a drastically more accurate face count, and hover over a face to preview the entire image in People Mode.

“With the release of ACDSee Photo Studio for Mac 11, we focused on streamlining not only the file management workflow, but also the post-processing workflow. The thoughtful integration of AI-driven features like Super-Resolution and one-click non-destructive masking saves users immeasurable time and yields results that are better than others on the market in almost all cases. If anyone is considering switching to ACDSee from another software for their digital asset management and photo editing solution on the Mac platform, now is the time to do it.“
