Over the past couple of years, I've reviewed several subscription-free rivals to Adobe Lightroom, including DxO PhotoLab 4, Exposure Software's Exposure X6 and Phase One's Capture One 20. After publishing every one of those reviews, I heard from readers praising ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate, a Windows-only Lightroom alternative that allows you to forego a subscription.

It's been many years since we last took a look at ACDSee, but clearly, it's time we rectified that. A fully-featured image management and editing tool aimed specifically at photographers, Photo Studio Ultimate 2021 provides most of the same core features as its Adobe rival. It also includes some that Lightroom lacks, the most notable of which is support for layer-based editing.

ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2021 is available for $149.95 for a lifetime license with one year of updates and technical support, which will include a free upgrade to the 2022 release once it launches.

Two subscription plans are also available, which include licenses for ACDSee for Mac 7, Luxea Video Editor, and Video Converter Pro 5. These differ only in their limits on cloud storage and the number of concurrent installs allowed. The Personal plan is priced at $6.90 per month, or $69 per year, and can be run on two machines with 10GB cloud storage included. The Home plan is priced at either $8.90 per month, or $89 per year, and includes 50GB of cloud storage with support for up to five installs.

There are also some notable tweaks to the user interface and tools on offer. These include an updated UI for Develop mode, which adds a new right-hand pane that's home to a histogram, develop presets, history/snapshots, an info palette, plus new color and tone wheels in the left pane.

ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2021 has a modal interface with five main sections that can be selected at the top-right corner of the screen: Manage, Photos, View, Customize and Edit. Further right, you'll find several icons through which you can sign up for an optional ACDSee 365 subscription, including cloud storage and access to several other apps, view statistics about your photos and the overall database, and view any messages from ACDSee.

Manage mode allows you to browse folders and view their contents on local and network drives without first importing them into the database. There's a choice of several view types, including thumbnails or a film strip beneath a larger preview. You can also view or edit metadata, add tags, ratings or labels, and images or videos can be categorized or added to collections.

To do so, I set ACDSee's flagship app the task of cataloging the bulk of my photo collection, which I first copied onto a blank WD My Book external hard drive. It contains around 2.5 terabytes of data in all, including more than 150,000 images from nearly 200 cameras, of which around 50,000 are in a wide range of different raw formats. And as well as all the stills, there's also a small number of videos, which I also had it catalog.

I should note that this time doesn't include face recognition, something which would likely have added another several days or more. (I let ACDSee search for faces for about 12 hours, and in that time, it managed something like 15% of my database.)

After manually tagging another 150 photos of my son's mum, I found that some of her suggestions included the same cat, several more Ferrari logos, a smiley face, a bearded man, a DPReview business card, a menu/OK button on a digital camera, an oyster on the half shell and more.

And even changing the face detection algorithms to run at their conservative settings didn't solve this issue. After completely clearing all recognition data and starting from scratch, subsequent suggestions still included many non-human (and not even remotely face-like) objects, including multiple wheel rims, random camera parts, a flower petal, a cupcake, a Korean seafood rice bowl and those ever-present Ferrari logos.

But we have concerns about its rather weak noise reduction capabilities, which we'd definitely like to see ACDSee address in a future release. And we also found rather more bugs than we'd like to see, including one that could quite regularly cause a hard crash while cataloging images and videos.

I've tested a number of RAW converters / editors for Fuji including ACDSee 2021 and what I found is that demosaicing for Fuji RAF files is not the best. This is particularly visible on photos I took of fireworks; what should have been clear white streaks of fireworks showed enormous amounts of purple fringing.

The sharpening tool is fine and has an edge mask slider which is useful for avoiding sharpening uniform areas like the sky. I use a two pass sharpening workflow with preset sharpening at import and a second output sharpening when everything including resizing etc. is done.

Glen. It's not about how my fotos will become better. It's a work flow that I prefer. I am not going to print or sell but I want a fast work flow that allows easy editing and today LR does that very well for me. But cost wise I don't have to spend this much on an editor and hence thinking if acdsee or dxo makes more sense. With a couple of friends on same boat getting a 89 dollar license for a year may be much cheaper to use in 5 systems

Does ACDSee have a history panel now? You wrote: "There are also some notable tweaks to the user interface and tools on offer.

Otherwise all of them are a fail, because they never update the software to include new camera models and lenses! If you have an S5 Panasonic DXO Labs 2 refuses to work with ANY raw files from that camera, as it does the Lumia 950 phones, and as far back as the Sony R1, nevermind the lens combinations, and they further now refuse a new activation of an old programme IF you have upgraded it to the latest version, despite the fact that it was the old version that worked better with DNGs & you paid full price for it.

I agree, Acdsee uses its own namespace for tags instead of using the equivalent tags in standard XMP namespaces this defeats one of the most valuable features of metadata: interoperability

Luckily DXO Photolab copies all XMP tags to exported photos, including AcdSee private tags.
