I would be interested in hearing what others have found particularly useful in Pro 7. I hadn't used the Develop Brush in the Tune section of Pro 6 - you learn something every day! The other features seem quite specialized. Multiple databases might be useful in partitioning work, but I am more interested in sharing a single database with multiple people working on the same set of images. I am in the habit of doing the cleanup at the very end, but with Heal/Clone in Develop will need to change my workflow. The Heal/Clone tool is useful and avoids me having to clean up backgrounds using an external editor.

Moving the user interface to the laptop is the worst of both worlds. The documentation talks about the image on the second monitor being the 'reference' that the changes can be compared to, but I run into the limited color fidelity of the laptop monitor.

Using the laptop as the second monitor does not really buy me much - the image is about the same size as the one in the user interface. Since the image on the second monitor is not 'live', I still need to run the user interface on the external monitor so that I can accurately judge the changes I am making. I use a laptop with a larger external monitor that has better resolution and color fidelity. It may be just that I am used to the look of Pro 6, but the light scroll bars in Pro 6 seem to set apart the various user interface elements.Īt first glance, the most interested feature was the dual monitor support. The drop shadow in Pro 6 seems to make the image stand out better. On closer inspection, the top and bottom borders around the image are larger. My first impression of the Manage screen was that the images seemed smaller and somehow lackluster. I downloaded the ACDSee Pro 7 trial to see if upgrading from Pro 6 was worthwhile.
