ArcSoft Photo+ for Mac Editor's Review

While the Software that come bundled with Macbook Mini or iMac may suffice for needs of casual users, advanced users may look for more capable third party software. The Preview, which is Apple’s own image viewer, is decent but you may also try ArcSoft Photo+ for a more enriching experience. It is a practical and feature rich app targeted at OS X users. It is positioned in between iPhoto and Aperture. With this, you can view, share images in a jiffy.

The app can be bought from App store and you can also use it in trial mode for 2 weeks. The installation gets over fast. It runs on Macs with OS X 10.7 and later versions.

ArcSoft Photo+ has a simple yet sleek interface and it supports more than 35 image formats including RAW. The new version has support for Macs with Retina displays. The UI is minimalist in a way so that you get more screen real estate, regardless of how small or big your screen is. Its thumbnail strip is a thoughtful and practical interface element that is handy when you open a lot of images simultaneously. You can use either mouse or keyboard’s arrow keys to browse loaded images. Using zoom and full screen mode from bottom toolbar is simple.

As you make a slideshow, ArcSoft Photo+ lets you play a music file in background. You also get a number of transition effects to pick from. It is possible to let the app pick random transitions for a slideshow. The Favorite tag lets you mark images you like and see them in a different window. Once you are done sorting favorites, you can upload them on online sharing services like Tumblr, Flickr and Facebook. However, there are not much tools or features to edit images while you view them.

One very useful feature included in ArcSoft Photo+ which gives it a competitive edge is its capacity to auto-rotate images when it imports them from digital cameras. This is a big timesaver. You can also batch rename a set of images and resize them using the app. While the app works almost flawlessly it is not much light on system resources. In slideshow mode, its CPU usage and RAM consumption shoots up. However, unless you have a really old Mac this will not be much of a problem.

Positive Points:
•    Minimalistic, sleek UI.
•    Support major file formats including RAW.
•    Integrated image sharing.
•    Slideshow customization.

Negative Points:
•    Can consume resources in slideshow mode.
•    Not much editing tools.

Conclusion:
ArcSoft Photo+ is an intuitive and fun to use Image viewer and sharing tool that will please majority of Mac users. It is easy to use and sharing images online is simple. The slideshow customization choices are adequate. You can make use of mouse and keyboard shortcuts to play slideshows. The support for image format is impressive too. However, it would be better if the company bundles in some image editing tools in the package. Its high resource utilization is another downer.

Rating: 3/5
