ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2027: AI editing and workflow

ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate 2027's feature overview demonstrates prompt-based image editing and new ways to organize a photo collection. The presenter uses AI Generative Edit to replace an indoor portrait background with a park and adjust its warmth. Before generation, the interface shows estimated credit usage for the selected AI model.

In edit mode, AI Remove replaces brushed-over boats with generated water and landscape. AI Generative Fill uses a selection and written instruction to remove a reflection. The presenter explains that the fill appears on a separate layer with a mask, so the original image remains underneath. Another example uses an existing portrait as a character reference for a generated professional profile picture. The supplied material does not establish whether these AI features run locally or require a network connection.

For photo management, the AI Image Similarity engine records visual information in the database as folders are browsed. Similarity grouping changes the folder display without moving files. Custom stacks let users choose groups manually; Auto-Stack uses GPS location, capture time or visual similarity. Reverse image search accepts reference images and a similarity slider to narrow results, with duplicate finding demonstrated as one use.

The overview also covers reject tags, export preset migration from the 2026 version, adjustable develop presets and expanded eye, eyebrow, skin and lip controls in Ultimate 2027.
