Stimulate active imaginations

The new ACDSee Photo Studio for Mac 8 delivers the power to inspire active imaginations. ACDSee Mac 8 is a universal application that runs natively on both M1 and Intel-based Mac computers. Performance improvements also come in the form of easy-to-use GUI enhancements and a customizable indexer that allows Mac 8 to efficiently organize assets while the computer is idle.

Life's rich tapestry of color and contrast

With a wealth of new features, Mac 8 gives you complete control over color and contrast editing so you can achieve deep purple and tangerine dreams. New color and contrast features include color LUTs for assigning RGB values; color wheels for adjusting saturation, hue, brightness, and contrast; tone wheels for adjusting highlights, midtones, and shadows; Color EQ Contrast and Contrast Balance; and the RGB Color Picker.

Move faster, do more

ACDSee Mac 8 runs as a Universal App on both M1 and Intel-based Mac computers, which means faster startup times and noticeable processing improvements.

When the indexer is in use, traffic flows.
