![]() Projects - Under project you can see the current project name. You can also import from the Cyberlink Cloud (more about that later in the review). You can import individual files or folders from your computer or from an external device. There is no separate image organiser like with Photoshop Elements. The "Library" module is where you organise your photographs. PhotoDirector supports over 20 different video formats on import including AVI, MPG, MP4 and MOV.ĭuring my own tests the "True Theatre" adjustment setting appeared to reduce the detail of picture, so I disabled that setting. This a one directional import tool that allows you to import video files and extract single stills which can be edited or used to create panoramic or multiple exposure images. It's a little more exciting than it's name suggests. One of the most recent additions to PhotoDirector is the Video-to-Photo feature set. During the import process you can apply presets and copyright information. If you do create a copy, you can choose to have your files renamed. You can reference your files in their current location or create a copy. You have the option to include subfolders and exclude possible duplicates.

You can zoom in and out of photos using either the magnifier glass tool or the list of preset zoom sizes (including screen size fit).

This is so you can apply multiple changes to the same image. As you navigate between modules the left hand panel changes while the right hand window containing both the photo viewer and photo browser panel remains constant. The workflow is comprised of six modules: Library, Adjustment, Edit, Layers, Slideshow & Print. The interface design has a clear, well organised workflow which follows the conventions of standard photo editors like Photoshop. You are not required to enter unnecessary information like with other packages. Once you've entered the license key, registering the software is optional. If you purchase the DVD it comes with a quick start guide.Ĭyberlink recommend you have 2GB of hard disk space and 4GB of memory available on your computer.

PhotoDirector is a one-off license fee without future subscription fees. But in recent years after a succession of significant upgrades the photo management and editing suite is a threat to Adobe's crown. If you wanted something more powerful Adobe products were the only way forward. PhotoDirector use to be characterized by its simplicity and affordability, but also its distinct lack of advanced features. ![]() It's great for creating photos bursting with creativity that stand out from the crowd. Cyberlink PhotoDirector 14 is an excellent choice for organising, editing and sharing your photographs. ![]()
