RELEASE NOTES

ACDSee Photo Studio Professional 2025

Build 18.0.1.3056

Improvements

  • Fixed an issue in Database Conversion that prevented converting AI Keywords from ACDSee 2024.
    If you believe your database has been affected by this issue, we recommend the following workflow to recover AI Keywords on your files:
    1. In the Advanced Search pane, click the magnifying glass icon on the Criteria header and deselect all file types except Image.
    2. Add the Criteria ACDSee Metadata > AI Keywords.
    3. Set the AI Keywords criteria to search by ‘Does Not Exist’, and run the search.
    4. Select all files in the search result, and click AI > AI Keywords > Run AI Keywords.
  • Improved the behavior of the in-app update system.
  • Fixed several workflows that could cause the Activity Manager to temporarily pause the RAW Image Previews activity.
  • Fixed an issue in Batch Rename that could cause the wrong template to be used.
  • Fixed a display issue with a progress bar in Batch AI Super Resolution.
  • Fixed a display issue in the Keywords tree within the Properties pane.
  • Removed a duplicate command from the File menu in View mode.

Known Issues

  • AI Super-Resolution cannot be run on GPU on a computer with less than 4GB VRAM.
  • AI Super-Resolution can switch to CPU on a computer with 4+ GB VRAM if the system is under heavy load.
  • AI Super-Resolution has a limit of 16,000 pixels.
  • Batch AI Super-Resolution only shows the preview for the first image.
  • Some H.265/HEVC videos with HDR enabled cannot seek in View mode. Moving the play head will cause the video player to freeze. The application will not freeze, and you will be able to switch to another file or leave View mode to recover. We have reported this issue to Microsoft as it appears to be outside of ACDSee’s control.
  • GPS metadata cannot be saved to HEIC files on the Map pane. HEIC files cannot be dragged to the Map, and HEIC files with GPS metadata will not save any changes to position.

  • New folders cannot be created in the SmugMug uploader.

  • GPR thumbnail may not display when importing from or browsing in a camera device.
