New for ACDSee is the paradigm-altering power to fine-tune a variety of selections that were previously impossible. Use Channel Selection and Channel Filtering in conjunction with a new Selection Basket to craft subtle or majestic selections that can be stored and unleashed with any whim.
The addition of a Color Wheel and Luminance Range inside Pixel Targeting lets you make pixel-perfect color and brightness selections for fine-tuning precise areas within your images.
Increase the detail in your skylines, bring faded mountains to life, or transform that dull boat into a vibrant vessel… the possibilities are endless. For those high ISO shots, Ultimate features improved Noise Reduction and a new application that ties noise reduction to the Develop brush, offering surgical control instead of blanketing an entire image with the same treatment.
Other improvements allow you to preview complicated selections with a single click, as well as offer greater flexibility for gradient tools and more control over tone curves.
The surgical precision of the Pixel Targeting tool has been added to Develop Mode and includes the familiar color wheel. Pixel Targeting is now teamed with the currently selected brush or gradient, meaning each brush or gradient gets its own Pixel Targeting settings.
Use these highly effective selection methods to achieve a perfect edge without derailing your pursuit of creativity and discover a new preferred method for creating masks. Develop Mode exists for one purpose — to allow for the unrestricted development of ideas through complex adjustments and effects without damaging the original shot.

Tags: acdsee , software-news , update. View Comments Comments All Thank you for your patience and understanding. IMHO the better alternative. Peter Gurdes as usual another buggy release. Dan Tong I had used an earlier version of the basic ACDSee image managers but got sufficiently annoyed because they would not update their RAW converters database once a newer version became available, making the one I purchased useless for working with newer cameras.
Drazen Stojcic Ever since about v4, ACDsee started cramming "feature" upon "feature" into what was once the best, fastest and lightest image viewer available. Damnedd Only faststone. Glen Barrington I've got to say, I'm underwhelmed. Tan68 I might recommend interested people to try the editing allowed by color selection They call it 'pixel targeting' I don't use ACDSee but my software does allow me to edit some by color and that is very nice because I don't have to make masks unless I want to further restrict the adjustment.
Glen Barrington There is already a similar process in the raw development. Glen Barrington fireplace33 - It's difficult to say with absolute certainty, I'm still on the PRO 8 trial, and still learning it. Tan68 Well, being able to work with color selections, Pixel Targeting, will be nice. Adrian Van Lightroom supports the X trans cameras version 5 , not sure on earlier versions of Lightroom, and of course the bundled Raw converter that comes with the Fuji camera - Silkypix I think it is.
That stinks! AKH Just a note. Tan68 I do agree with this I don't need an image viewer to do editing I still use ACDSee 3.
