ACDSee 9 Pro ultimate

[goooner]

So after testing Corel Paintshop pro 8, and Aftershot Pro 2 and not liking it very much, I downloaded ACDSee 9 Pro ultimate last night on the 30 day free trial.

First off, the price, it is a little more expensive than 1 year of the Adobe Photo package. And about 60% of the price if you also want to do the subscription thing. The best thing I've noticed though is that I can import my LR catalogue, with hierarchical keywords-yaaaay!

So I have the same catalogue I had in LR, non destructive editing and the use of layers for future focus stacking projects. I will play around with it some more, but I think I might be getting this. They have a 20% sale on until the 19th, so I have some more time to test it.
