Mike Roy What is a ACDSee Photo Studio?
ACDSee Photo Studio 2022 is image editing software that can be used to manage still photos and videos, edit them, synchronize with the ACDSee Mobile app for cross-device transfers, and create layer-based compositions.
The 2022 model is available in three editions: Home, Professional, and Ultimate. Each edition, as the names imply, comes with a more advanced range of tools and functions, with Home establishing the bar for more casual users and Ultimate beefing up to the extreme.

What’s New?
Here’s a study guide highlighting the important new tools and capabilities that come with the latest edition:
- Media Mode – This new mode allows you to easily sort, filter, and categorize your collection by date, keywords, camera, edit status, and many other criteria. It replaces the previous and less descriptively called Photos mode.
- New Selection Tools – New selection tools allow you to utilize channels and filters to choose items in your images with more accuracy.
- People mode – ACDSee always had face recognition capabilities, but this new mode makes it easier to identify, manage, and view individuals. The new AI also increases the software’s capacity to discover additional photographs of the same individual automatically.
- Pixel Targeting Color Wheel – This tool, in combination with the Edit Brush, allows you to make local adjustments to lighting and color depending on the current pixel color value. It’s particularly helpful for skin tones and sky.
- Local Noise Reduction – In Develop Mode, use an Edit Brush to eliminate (or add) noise to particular areas of a photograph.
Interface
ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2022 features a modal interface with five primary areas that may be accessed by clicking the top-right corner of the screen:
- Manage mode allows you to explore folders on local and network devices and inspect their contents without previously importing them into the database.
- Photos mode allows you to view by date of photographs and videos you’ve imported into ACDSee’s database.
- View mode allows you to play videos instead than just seeing static thumbnails.
- Develop mode is to perform most of your edits. It uses the Punch preset from the Portrait group and then reduced the contrast significantly.
- Edit mode, apply a variety of simple filters and effects.
Pros
- Quick Optimization and Performance
- Geotagging and face recognition
- Tools for color improvement
- Integration of cloud storage
- Interface customization
Cons
- Somewhat difficult interface

- No tools to correct chromatic aberration.
Conclusion
Photo Studio Ultimate 2022 retains its market position as a powerful all-in-one picture editing tool, but for Windows only. This software will appeal primarily to novices and enthusiasts searching for an easy-to-use all-in-one solution. It provides the capabilities and functionality required to execute a wide range of picture editing jobs, from simple to expert. More sophisticated users, on the other hand, may find the inconsistent amount of control offered in some of the more complex capabilities annoying.
