My old folders with big tiff files are now handled without a sweat.

Better than the U-Points, better (miles!) than the magic lasso, leagues better than the Auto Mask in LR.

The magic mode of the selection brush makes it now the best selection tool in the industry, period.

I tried ACDSee Ultimate 10 and all of that is solved, and brilliantly. Those can certainly be reasons why not everyone uses it.

The gradients had severe banding in some conditions, making them unreliable.They were huge and very slow to save and load. But it was impossible to use for localized adjustment because the only way was by painting a mask with a basic brush and there was no visualisation of the brush strokes! Therefore no visualisation of how the mask was evolving. The adjustment layers in Edit mode where very interesting by the excellent selection of adjustments that ACDSee provides there.Since I use Photoshop since 2003, I have thousands of pictures that would render ACDSee unusable. The indexer would literally choke on them.

Totally unable to cope with the large Photoshop tiff files.

I found none that could replace LR/PS for me at the time and since. When Adobe switched to subscription-only, I started to look at alternatives. Just upgraded and very happy other than the obvious stuff the program as a whole just seems more polished.The puzzling thing for me is why isnt everyone using it.Aafter having changed over from LR6 i have never loked back for me its a far better software packageĪs an Adobe CC customer, I can answer your puzzlement.
