I use lightroom 4.3 to edit my CR2 files and ACDSee Pro 5 to catalog and sort my huge photo collection and I would love to use it for the CR2 images too.
The problem is, that the develop edits that I make to the CR2 files using LR , won't dispay in ACDSee .. all I can see there are the original cr2 files without the edits made to them. I just had a chat with the adobe support team and they say Lightroom is working perfectly, because the changes show up in Bridge and LR. And the people from ACDSee say that the lightroom edits are Adobe specific.
I thought that an XMP file is there for that purpose : to be able to see the info in other programs. By the way : CR2 files and the XMP are stored in the same location, so that can't be the problem.
Is anyone having this problem too? Or can anybody help me with this please.
If this issue can't be solved, then I will use Bridge or LR as catalog, and maybe I will like it even more, but for now I would like to use ACDSEE.
Thanks in advance for the help.
