PhotoDirector is a 64-bit application, meaning you can take advantage of more than 4GB of RAM-something you'll want when you have a lot of high-res photos open and are doing heavy image manipulation. PhotoDirector supports high-DPI monitors, such as the one on which I tested, a 4K touch-screen Asus Zen AiO Pro Z240IC all-in-one PC. Unfortunately, the trial is not upgradable to the licensed version, so you have to reinstall if you decide to buy. Once installed, the program requires more than 1GB on disk, so keep some space available. It's a 356MB download for Windows and 505MB for Mac. Advanced features include face tagging, content-aware object removal, and there's even a body-slimming tool-a feature of undeniable power.Ī fully functioning 30-day free trial of PhotoDirector is available for the price of your email address. Still, it goes beyond Lightroom with drawing tools, face-beautification tools, and blur effects. While PhotoDirector does indeed give Adobe a run for its money in terms of photo workflow and image editing, it lacks some powerful features found in Lightroom ($9.99/Month at Adobe) and Photoshop, such as raw Profiles and geotag maps. Despite what some might see as feature-creep, the program remains capable, usable, and worthy of consideration. The latest version, 11, adds even more layer capabilities, a de-blur tool, new color tools, and new text options, among other updates.
While Adobe's photo editing software has gotten simpler, PhotoDirector has gone in the other direction, accruing many new tools, such as adjustment layers, masks, painterly AI filters, text kerning, and guided edits.
CyberLink's PhotoDirector started life as a workflow alternative to Adobe Lightroom, but has now taken on features of Photoshop and added hand-holding help features like those in Photoshop Elements.
