ACD photo editor OK?

[Bufo Bill]

ACD have a sale on so was thinking of buying ACDsee17 and ACD photo editor, which seem to do what I am intending (minor image editing, sharpness, exposure, that sort of stuff and cataloging). Does any one have toe-curling stories to tell of the horrors of this software or am I on to a good deal?

I downloaded a trial of ACDsee17, and it seems to do everything I need on its own. Seems a very useful program from what I've seen.

I'm a long time user of ACDsee and it's a good piece of software but over the years its got quite bloated. A good and free (home use) alternative is Faststone and it covers all the basic functions you might need as well as feeling faster as well. ACDsee does more but its if you need those extras.

I feel old, been using ACDsee for 20 years since v1!!

Thanks for the help. I'll check out Faststone and take a look.
