PSE can "distort" the image to balance out the effects of a very wide angle interior shot... I looked thru ACDSee v20 specs and didn't see any mention of that tool...

When in the edit side there is perspective correction, which corrects distortion. There is also lens correction in the geometry section in develop.

In my ACDSee version 19 there are perspective corrections and lens corrections in the develop module for sure, and I think also in the edit module, though I'm not entirely sure about edit. I do those things in "develop" and they work great.

I just don't see the "perspective correction"... I have v19.3, build 506... the website says that's the newest build of v19... in the Geometry tab, all I see is Rotate, resize, flip, and crop......... WTF?

Maybe it's a version thing? I have Ultimate 2018 Version 11.2 (Build 1309) It's the desktop version from 2018, the full program.

In the develop module:
1) Geometry tab
2) "Perspective" is located between "Rotate and Straighten" and "Crop"

Perspective does exist in the edit module as well.

It is possible that the develop is hidden in your settings. That would be:

1) Settings
2) General
3) Mode Configuration
4) Here you can check and uncheck the various modules. Be sure Develop is checked.

Both Ultimate and Studio Pro are a lot different than the lesser ACDSee programs, so what you see in Ultimate is not what is available in 19 (I think it's now called Editor 11, which does not include perspective correction according to the spec sheets).

well rats... nothing in any of the drop-downs looks anything like the screen shot you presented... I don't have Ultimate... just plain ol' ACDsee v19... thanks a million for the help... maybe I should spring for Ultimate... might even consider 365... have to look at the relative pricing. Maybe evaluate v20 as well... thanks again, BeYoung.............

Cool... thanks for the response... I guess that settles it- off to the web to upgrade to the latest full package from ACDSee... at least that will keep me from switching apps by going to PSE to do the perspective correction... might cost me a few bucks, but it will be worth it to stay inside a single app. thanks again....

I suggest the Photo Studio Pro unless you want layers. That's the one I have used for years through the various annual iterations. Again, the main difference between Ultimate and Studio Pro is Ultimate uses layers, Studio Pro does not, so Studio Pro is less expensive than Ultimate.

Just so you know, v. 19 does not use layers, so if you don't want layers but want perspective correction, go with Photo Studio Pro (I use last year's version and haven't decided whether to upgrade to 2020) and save some money instead of going to Ultimate (I don't want layers so I have never spent the extra money for it).

thanks for the insight... I'll go with Photo Studio Pro... if I ever need to work with layers, I think PSE will work. Ya know, I have used ACDSee too for years and it's done all of the fundamental stuff that I needed to do in a hurry... thanks to you guys, I'm much smarter now :-)

actually, one more question: I have ACDSee v17 and v19 both on this machine... when I spring for Photo Studio Pro, can I uninstall v17 and v19?

I think so, but just to be safe, I would call ACDSee to discuss before you delete them -- there may be some nuances to migrating from 17 and 19 to Studio Pro. I have always used the Pro versions and not the more basic programs like 17 and 19 (they keep changing the name so what I have that I upgraded to last year is now called Studio Pro 2020). FYI, when I upgraded to the 2019 version I kept the 2018 version for several months just in case something was lost in transition, but both still worked fine and finally I uninstalled the 2018 version and have had no problems since other than having to reset all my configuration preferences, which I have always had to do even with the so-called upgrades from older versions of the same program. You would think that by now ACDSee would have eliminated having to do that like other software programs have done whenever they upgrade their software.
