    I have LR Classic but was wondering is there anything that could help me speed up my RAW workflow? I saw something called ACDSee Photo Studio and was wondering if anyone had tried and could compare?

    Obviously, I like LR because of how fast and easy it is to adjust photos and of course presets if needed, but I guess I'm really looking for something that can batch edit larger photoshoots overall.

    I have Capture One but I just can't get into it like PS or LR.

    I luved a very old version of ACDSee (I forget which, but aroud the time of running OS-7) on a Mac and XP or NT on Windows. It's a dog and not worth investing any time in since.

    CO is a speedier choice (at least for me). You need to initially get your head into it's workings and then you'll have smooth sailing. There are lots of tutorials here and I think I've also posted some reference book(s) on it too. Each iteration appears to get better and better . . .
