#ACDSEE PHOTO STUDIO ULTIMATE 2018 REVIEW SOFTWARE#
The software comprises five Modes within a single interface to provide a seamless workflow from image selection through to Raw processing and then image editing and manipulation. (Image credit: James Abbott) (opens in new tab) You can also apply an And/Or criteria to expand or contract searches. Other new features include a refine tool in Quick Search to make searching for images even more effective, alongside improvements to Advance Search where you can save searches made across the whole database, Folders or Current View where you can also set filters. It’s incredibly easy to use when you get used to it and makes selections easy for everyone. The Shape Selection Tool replaces the Polygonal Selection Tool and is like a massively simplified Pen Tool in Photoshop, which is used for making precise selections of objects of any shape. For this reason, it’s best to process Raw files before using Photomerge.

Panorama works well, too, and is the least problematic of the three, although all Photomerge options only produce a processed JPEG rather than a DNG file that can be further processed. Focus Stack works well but it did introduce chromatic aberration where there was originally none on a high-contrast edge.

HDR unfortunately only offers four presets, none of which look great, and some manual control over how exposures are merged would be a huge improvement here. Photomerge brings with it Focus Stack, HDR and Panorama.

But one feature that has been curiously left out here is a skin smoothing/clean-up tool there is a Skin Tune Tool in the Edit mode that can perform this function, but it would just be better if all the portrait editing tools were in a single tool.

You can brighten eyes and even add make-up, and the results overall can look great.
