ACDSee Pro and Livestream Procaster Available for Beta Testing

Two interesting updates today:

ACDSee, a rather popular Windows software , just rolled out a public beta of ACDSee Pro for Mac. As the developers say “Pro for Mac provides photographers with a fast, flexible workflow platform built from the ground up on the Mac operating system”.

Go download.

Finding the perfect application could be really difficult sometimes. You know, there’s not an official “Mac App Store” yet (sure, there’s Bodega, but I’ll talk about it in the future) so many users are stuck with Apple’s default apps because they just don’t know about the existence of many awesome “indie” apps.
