I would do it, but I don't have an account for the web page. Dear web admins, 
would you please drop me a short mail how we handle this?

I have to further investigate in ACDSEE, just had a short "hands on" atm. I 
like the digikam GUI more cause it is cleaner and there is nothing "in your 
way". And I could not find a killer feature that outperforms  digikam - yes 
the redeye reduction IS better in ACDSEE, but that might be inproved in 
digikam later. I was exspecialy hoping for lossless jpg crop and must admit 
that it is not implemented in ADCSEE. 

Will test the export options in ACDSEE later, cause there is much room for 
improvement in digikam IMHO (or kipi better to say).

Imageplugins preview is much better in digikam but on the other side I like 
the very fast access to image correction functions in ACDSEE (toolbar with 
dedicated icons for each function instead of complicated menus in digikam 
IE).

That's my first impressions so far.

I use the test version from there homepage:
http://fr.acdsystems.com/ (french version ;-))
