Just In Time For Christmas - The Complete Solution For Digital Camera Owners

December 22nd -- ACD Systems today announced the release of ACDSee PowerPackT - the complete and affordable solution for every digital camera user.
"PowerPack delivers powerful but easy-to-use tools at an affordable price for everyone taking, saving and sharing digital images," said Doug Vandekerkhove, President and CEO of ACD Systems. "Underlying PowerPack is the latest version of the world's most popular image viewer and browser, ACDSee, plus a treasure trove of new and powerful plug-in features. "

Among the features that deliver PowerPack's arsenal of value:

ACDSee 3.1 SR-1T is the very latest version of the world's most popular digital image software. The SR-1 upgrade allows JPEG decoding and encoding up to three times faster. And the SR-1 upgrade also includes enhanced metadata capacity for attaching background information and audio to each image.

FotoCanvasT, the new photo editor from ACD, makes digital editing easy for novices and experienced photographers alike. Improve your photos with tools like red-eye reduction, free-angle rotate, crop, and sharpen and blur image filters. And give your creativity free rein with powerful drawing tools, color and light blending features, airbrush, and special effects filters - and a caption feature that lets you personalize photos by adding text.

FotoAngeloT, a new feature from ACD Systems, makes customized slideshows a breeze! Users can select their images with convenient drop-and-drag tools, choose the transition timing for each image and use 20 different transition effects, and include background audio (including voice) for each image or for the entire show. FotoAngelo also allows you or a friend to run the slideshow automatically or manually. And FotoAngelo allows your slideshow to become your home screensaver as well.

PowerPack's multimedia capacity uses the built-in functionality of QuickTime. All image formats that QuickTime supports can now be viewed with ACDSee.

PowerPack also allows ACDSee to read and write files using Adobe file format plug-ins.

ACDSee PowerPack is available for trial or purchase for $79.95 at www.acdsystems.com
