ACDSee Pro 4 Beta Expands Metadata Tools, Adds Map

VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Oct 21, 2010 -- Following the successful redesign of the ACDSee professional photography workflow software last year, ACD Systems International Inc. has sets its sights on expanding the application's fast and flexible capabilities even further with the launch today of the beta test version of ACDSee™ Pro 4.

Beta downloads are available to the public at www.acdseepro.com.

The company expects thousands of professional photographers to participate in the ACDSee Pro 4 beta period and provide feedback in the development process, similar to the 10,000 testers who helped shape the current version.

"The top themes we continuously hear from our users during beta tests revolve around saving time and customizing workflow, so those will again be top priorities for Pro 4," said Cam Carmichael, product manager for ACD Systems. "Beta testing is the best way to gather feedback to make sure we are continuing to deliver on our promise of a fast and flexible workflow tool at a tremendous value."
