How to : View your pictures and make slideshows with ACDSEE Classic

I have been using ACDSEE Classic since 1998. Same version is working with Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2K and Windows XP. It is a software to view pictures, convert picture types one to another and make slideshows. It is working absolutely perfect. Very small application only 1.78 MB.

Unfortunately none of the Windows operating systems come with a good picture viewing software. So we must find a software to view them nicely in Full Screen Mode, Shrink capability, Loading fast, Thumbnail view of pictures and Nice time adjustable slideshows. If you are looking for a software like that here it is ACDSEE Classic.

Note that this software is not capable of editing pictures, does not have lots of features like red-eye tool, cropping tool or publishing tools. There is a latest version called ACDSEE Pro which can view, process, edit, organize, catalog, publish, and archive your photo collections with the precision and control demanded by photographers. I prefer to use Adobe Photoshop instead. It is your choice of course.
