We've mentioned this a few times, but there is so much free photo management software, that commercial developers have to do something a little special to get noticed. To be fair, Adobe and Apple have achieved this with Lightroom and Aperture, offering advanced tools for the semi and professional photographer. These two tools stand out from many apps for this reason. However, iPhoto is enough for most Mac users and tools such as Picasa are excellent Windows photo editing tools.

ACDSee Photo Editor 2008 is a public preview of the forthcoming photo manager that enables you to download and test the new features and offer feedback. Whether this means you can shape the design of the new app is questionable. It probably means that you're beta-testing the new features and can offer feedback on how they perform on your system.
