Despite its lightning-quick image viewing capabilities, ACDSee should not be confused with an image editing program like Paint Shop Pro or Adobe Photoshop. And despite the addition of the ACD Photo Enhancer in the 3.0 release, ACDSee's image manipulation tools still pale in comparison to these types of programs. But if you're looking for an app whose sole purpose is to display graphics as quickly as possible, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better client than ACDSee.
Pros: Extremely quick image decompression, fastest graphics viewer available
Cons: Limited image manipulation tasks, especially relative to Paint Shop Pro
