ACDSee Photo Studio 2027: local and cloud AI tutorial

This workshop previews ACDSee Photo Studio 2027 through photo organization and editing examples. The presenter says core AI features run locally, while the new generative tools use cloud processing. He states that prompts and reference images are not retained or used for training, and generated images remain available for seven days before deletion. These are the presenter's privacy claims.

AI Image Similarity analyzes the photo database, including RAW files, without using AI credits. The demo groups similar shots, creates manual stacks and combines GPS location, capture time and visual similarity in Auto Stack. Reverse image search finds related photos and duplicates within the database. Other updates include a Reject Tag and migration of export presets from 2026.

The cloud tools use Gemini's Nano Banana models for text-to-image generation and editing. The presenter says Manage mode generation and Generative Edit will be available in Home, Professional and Ultimate. Generative Edit processes the whole photo and can alter areas beyond the requested change. Edit mode adds targeted AI Remove and Generative Fill. Credits are charged even when edits are discarded, and some examples need a more expensive model to succeed.

The closing section covers eye and eyebrow color controls, skin highlights and shadows, lip saturation, and new Develop mode presets.
