• Feel the difference in your photography. ACDSee Pro 5 delivers more features photographers want, giving you even more control over your photography workflow. 

• Smarter Sharpening. A new user-controlled edge detection mask slider lets you focus the sharpening effect more to edges and textures than non-textured areas. 

• Split-toning. Take your photos to the edge in either Develop or Edit mode using split-toning to create sepia or tinted black & white, Or add a tinted color to highlights and another to shadows to create a dramatic toning effect. 

• Dodge and Burn. Target shadows, midtones or highlights for lightening or darkening with the Dodge and Burn tool, or selectively add vibrance, saturate or desaturate areas of interest. 

• Drawing Tools. Put your photos to work for you using drawing tools to add lines and shapes such as squares, circles and arrows to draw attention to certain elements in your image. You can also adjust the width, feathering and blending of your brush to create subtle or dramatic drawing effects.

- Lomo Effect. Apply the popular Lomo effect to give an edgy, retro feel to your photos.

• Color Labels. Use color labels to quickly identify groups within a large number of photos for processing. As your review your photos, quickly mark ones for different stages of your workflow. For example, assign files to color labels you have named such as upload, print, reject, develop or edit and then click a color label in the Organize pane to quickly display all of the files assigned to that label. Or use them in combination with the Group by, or Filter By features to refine your list. Color labels, like tagging, categories and ratings, are a way to set aside, organize, and group your photos without moving them into different folders.

The batch export tool allows you to easily create presets for exporting easily exporting groups of files to specified folders, file names, formats, color spaces and dimensions. 

• Remove Metadata. Use the Remove Metadata tool to keep your proprietary information private by stripping EXIF and IPTC metadata to protect the details of your locations, camera settings and equipment choices.
