ACDSEE 4.0 released

Thanks WinFuture for the heads up on this release.

New Features in ACDSee 4.0

ACDSee 4.0 features a redesigned user interface that creates a highly efficient workflow for beginners. This new interface can also be easily customized, so advanced users can increase efficiency.
The new interface enables you to see and access any program functions from the main windowÂ by clicking tabs to activate functional panes. You won`t need to use drop-down menus or leave the main window to access special dialog boxes and you can continue to browse thumbnails while pursuing other functions.
This creates a more streamlined workflow by eliminating the need to open and close separate program areas to perform key functions.
In 4.0 you can also access the entire set of program functions via the new activity wizard available in the main and view windows. The activity wizard helps beginners and novices understand the benefits and usage of every function.
Expand file browsing area to full screen.
