Still, for those less interested in image browsing and manipulation features, ACDSee 3.0 probably offers more than you're looking for, especially with its increased price tag of $49.95. If you're instead looking more for a graphics app that excels strictly in its image viewing capabilities -- one like earlier releases of ACDSee, for example -- there's a new option from ACDSystems that is sure to please.
ACDSee Classic is a new release of ACDSee that is actually built on the v2.x codebase. This release retains the lightning-quick image viewing capabilities that have made ACDSee so popular, and it does so at a slightly more affordable price of $34.95. While you won't find any of the new version 3.0 features in ACDSee Classic, you will find one of the best image viewing and previewing tools this side of Irfan View.
