Ultimate Creative Freedom - Get back out where you belong faster—in the field, behind a lens. ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2020 combines GPU-accelerated layers, RAW editing, and world-class digital asset management with enough agility to swiftly satisfy your creative graphic and photography needs. Ultimate is armed with HDR, focus stacking, blended cloning, the ability to create your own color adjustments, improved facial recognition, more control over text and layers, and much more to give you the flexibility to create the composites, manipulations, and innovative graphics you’ve been fantasizing about.

Harmonious Balance - High-dynamic-range imaging (HDR) is a trick in digital photography that is designed to achieve a wide dynamic range of luminosity by merging multiple images. Combine a series of images with different exposures to produce a single image with the maximum range of details in their shadows and highlights with the HDR tool.

Stay Focused - Sometimes, no matter what you do, it’s impossible to get every detail in your image sharp. With focus stacking, you can combine a series with different focal distances to create one image with a greater depth of field than a single exposure would allow.

Improved Face Detection & Facial Recognition - Organizing has never been this personal. Ultimate 2020’s Face Detection & Facial Recognition tool will find the humans in your photographs so you can name them for quick searching. ACDSee will immediately learn which names to put to which faces, and even will suggest possible matches. Control the queue of images to be scanned for faces. Save hours of tedious manual skimming by searching photos by unnamed, auto-named, and suggested names. Keep photos distinguished by client, family member, or person of interest, then embed face data in your photos for safe keeping.

Effortless Digital Asset Management - Finding, sorting, moving, organizing, and sharing—everything you need for complete mastery over your photography workflow is right here, at your fingertips. Add ratings, hierarchical keywords, categories, and location data to your images. Quickly identify photos for further processing with visual tags or customizable color labels.

Visionary Layered Editing - You can use the Layered Editor to fearlessly innovate using parametric photo manipulation. Add layers designed to achieve individual adjustments and effects, and go back in to tweak them at any time. Pair individual layers with any Edit mode filter or adjustment for complete image manipulation liberty.

Comprehensive RAW Editor - Make the most of your RAW images with Photo Studio Ultimate’s built-in support for over 500 camera models. For ultimate freedom, start with the rough data captured by your camera’s sensor and non-destructively transform it into whatever you want using exposure, contrast, color, repair, sharpening, and other detail-based tools.
