What is ACDSee 12?

ACDSee is a image organizer, viewer, and RAW / image editor programs for Microsoft Windows.

Judging the image quality of a picture is fast due to next/previous image caching, fast image/RAW decoding and support for one-click toggling between 100% and fit screen zoom mode anywhere inside the image. For professional, users most of ACDSee's features can be accessed via keyboard.
