VICTORIA, British Columbia – Nov. 11, 2008 – Now is the time for making treasured memories with family and friends, but for many, sorting and sharing digital photos is a chore that can put a damper on holiday cheer.

For avid photographers seeking the solution as well as a thoughtful gift idea, ACD Systems is offering Photo Manager 2009 along with a bonus copy of the software to give away. This holiday package is only available through Dec. 1, 2008. The price is $59.99 (USD), and the total value is about $100.

"We're making it easy and affordable to gain control over a growing digital image library," said Melanie Wood, community manager for ACD Systems. "Photo Manager has grown in popularity because the learning curve is low, and it's packed with time-saving professional tools."

ACDSee Photo Manager provides real-time viewing, management and editing of multiple image files, whether they are treasured family photos or digital design elements for creative projects.

"ACDSee is unbelievably fast, and it's powerful enough to organize hundreds of items," said digital scrapbooker Becky Prochnow. "It is so easy to find things."

Time-saving features of ACDSee Photo Manager include:

# Quick View mode provides instant viewing of images received as e-mail attachments.

# Seamless access within ACDSee's browser window to popular photo sharing sites such as flickr™.

# The Import tool allows users to rename, back up, categorize and add keywords to images as they are acquired from a camera, card reader, CD/DVD or other storage device.

# Auto Categories automatically organizes images according to camera metadata (IPTC and EXIF), so organization is completed as collections grow.

# ACDSee users enjoy organizing according to their own custom metadata, which include memory triggers like keywords, categories and ratings.

# Photographers can build complex searches based on folder name, file name, location, custom categories, ratings and other metadata, then save time by storing custom search criteria for future use.

# Users can fix common problems like red eye and blemishes at the click of a button and quickly and creatively add a finishing touch with a custom border, drop shadow or edge effect.

# ACDSee Photo Manager automatically saves and preserves the original image file when it is first opened for editing within the software.
