ACDSee 10 Update, view & use your brushes easily now!

If you already have ACDSee 10, there is a free update you should go get. If you are running with ACDSee 9, there are some new features in ACDSee 10 that make digital scrapbooking easy: ACDSee 10 New Features plus these new features/enhancements below:

And this latest update allows users to: View, browse and organize .abr, .jbr and .pbr files, known as ‘brushes’ and used in applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel Paint Shop Pro.

Let’s see it action:

What else is new:

  • Hot key for mouse over pop ups
    • Show or hide mouse over pop ups with the Shift key
    • If you a pop up thumbnail showing and you want to get rid of it, just hit the shift and it will hid the pop-up.
  • Enhanced uploader to Flicker
  • More RAW Camera support
  • And the new missing artistic effects are now available.

To get the update, download the file here:

ACDSee 10 Update

  • You must have ACDSee 10 installed for this update to work. It will not install ACDSee 10 for you.
  • Close ACDSee 10,
  • Run the downloadable file to install it
  • Restart ACDSee 10.
  • It’s that simple.

And if you want, ACDSee 10, remember the current special going on: 2 for 1 with gift: Get ACDSee 10 Photo Manager- Gift with Purchase

If you want to upgrade ACDSee 9 -> 10 , the cost is $34.99.

And for all those that don’t use Adobe or Corel’s products, I was hoping this new brush feature would allow me to save my brush files and turn them into usable png files. It can convert the brush files to different images types (using Batch Convert or Save As) like png, but unfortunately, the transparency is lost. So the brush has the dreaded white background. For some brushes, I can easily select the background with my magic wand/selection tool and get rid of it and for some it doesn’t work. ACDSee is working on getting this functionality fixed so we can easily convert the brushes.

On the German site there is only an update available from 10/30 with the RAW feature. Is this update available in German yet? Thanks!

OH FREAKIN’ WOW!!!!! This is soooooo way COOL! I’ve tried using another ABR viewer and just couldn’t get it to work well with the way I scrap. Too many things to open using valuable resources, plus just having to switch between too many things. It was just plain ol’ clumsy. But this GREAT, totally seamless. I have ACDSee open anyway when I scrap, it doesn’t seem to use many resources and it just got so much better. TY ACDSee & Heidi & Connie!!! Most EXCELLENT work! -c-

I installed the upgrade to 10 last night and only had a short time to play with it, but the one thing I’ve
noticed so far that I’m not happy with is that I can only cntl-E one item at a time into PSE6. Am I doing
something wrong? Any hints? (I haven’t had a chance to check out the brush viewer yet, but am looking
forward to it.

I love, love, love the new brush update!!!!!!!!!!
Just wondering why they have to red no-no sign in the corner, which I can live with
now that I can see all my great brushes. Thank you so very much.
I wish I could see all my .csh Photoshop brushes like that, all in one place

is there a way to change the background of the viewer? I just upgraded from 9 - which was black and prefer that to the white.
