I just read that the newest version of ACDSee now supports Nikon RAW as well. I'm curious if anyone here has used it and what they think of it. right now i'm using nikon view as a viewer, it's pretty much the fastest thing i've found to load up and proof through my NEF's.
If anyone has used ACDSee 7 with Nikon raw files, what do you think of it?

i'm probably going to get a copy anyway and try it.

well i just downloaded and installed the trial version...
i think i'm going to stick with nikon view. all the images that come up in acdsee are slower than NV, and for some reason the colors are rendered very weird. they're inconsistent, from one image to another there's either way too much color, or not enough, so it gets the thumbs-down from me for d70 NEF's at least.

I have been using ACDSee 7 for a while now, but I try to avoid viewing NEF files with it. The colours don't look right with ACDSee and it takes longer to load the files. I find Nikon View much better for NEF.

Edit: I dropped an email about the colour issue and didn't get a reply :( hehe

I have ver 7, it is pretty slow at browesing raw files. It does ok at the thumbnails but is a pain to go from raw to raw.

I use AcDsee 2.43 Classic. It's a super fast image viewer. I tried later versions of ACDsee but find that it's way too slow for my liking. Note that I only shoot in Jpeg.

Jacko, since the 20D can take a raw and jpg at the same time why note try shooting some raw file and see what you think. The 20D is so fast, even in raw, that there is not much reason not to.

I use ACDSee 6, but recently switched to Bibble Pro. It ROCKS. I need more RAM, but it's really fast for what I do - and I went through 1100 photos fully editing - color, contrast, brightness, sharpness, crop & all - in about 10 hours. That's a BIG improvement over Photoshop or C1.

I swear you must have shares in that program or something with the way you sell it ;)

Version 7.0 is finally back up to speed. I used to complain about how the newer versions were never as fast as the old ones, but the speed is back.

no doubt, acdsee is as fast as it gets for browsing JPG's. unfortunately for me, the NEF browsing is horrible. i'll be sticking with nikon view :)

I WAS using ACDSee 3.1 which came packaged with my Toshiba camera, and I loved it for cataloging and browsing; however it recently quit working altogether. When I try to open the program, it starts to open and then I get a message saying "ACDSee has encountered a problem and has to close...." which it then does. Has anyone else experienced this? I've contacted their support and received an e-mail back, but the fix they recommended doesn't work because I can't open the program. I'd like to get it working again, but I will soon have several thousand sports pictures I will need to sort and categorize for the guys on the team.

That has happened to me plenty of times. I uninstall the program then reinstall it.

I forgot to include that I've tried that - 3 times - still get the same result. I'm in the process of taking some files off after saving to DVD's, but I've had many more files on it than I currently do. Have you ever had an occasion when that procedure did not work?

Yes, when I needed to reformat my computerâ€Â¦

ACDSee does some strange things every now and then; sometimes it won’t load cds I have burned, shows thumbs from a previously viewed cd when I am searching my hard drive. And if I have gone thru a lot of large files I will have to restart my computer to use the program again. Why do I use this program everydayâ€Â¦lol
