They've upped their support with more raw formats, and there's a four-way photo comparison tool to allow you to pick your best shot. I use ACDSee Pro as an image viewer, and use it to batch-edit metadata (correcting an irritating Lightroom 1.x bug) along with re-naming my files, re-sizing them before uploading to this site, and a whole lot more.</p>
