Cyberlink PhotoDirector 7 Ultra

When choosing between this and Photoshop & Lightroom it was real close, but ultimately not having to pay a subscription fee pushed me over to Cyberlink PhotoDirector. It has many of the same feat as Adobe, and Ive found it fairly intuitive. Plus paying less than $50 for it made it a steal.

I have installed this on my Mac computer and having fun with this software! I have never used a photo editing software before other than apps and iPhoto and its very user friendly although I am still learning, and have a lot to learn! When I first installed there was a update available. Installing and updating was no problem. My Mac is about 6 years old and I have no issues with the way the software runs on my computer.

I am ranking this 4 stars at this time because I only recently purchased this for my husband who is a photography hobbyist, taking many aerial photos with Go Pro attached to a Kite. So far he likes this software but needs to spend more time really using all the features--he hasnt really scratched the surface yet. The good news is he hasnt given up out of frustration so that tells me its pretty easy to use, and thats huge with software. I will do another review in 30 days. Right now I would have to say I recommend it.

In today’s world, it’s almost silly to not have some type of program that allows you to alters the pictures you take. How often have you taken a picture, just to later upload it and discover a flaw that otherwise would have been a perfect picture? With CYBER LINK PHOTO DIRECTOR 7 ULTRA you have the power at the tip of your fingers to enhance or alter your pictures.

Now, this is somewhere between novice and intermediate skill-level. Even though I have been using this (and many other comparable) this program for years (and years), I can still put myself into a newbies shoes and see how intuitive and exciting this would be. I cannot even find areas that could be frustrating or a mystery. This software is extremely forgiving and very welcoming to all of all skill-levels. (And, it has so many playful options, that it is perfect for teens in encouraging creativity).

I enjoy this program, I still havent learned every detail but I am not giving up. I like the program overall. It will edit raw photos. It will organize by date, it will save my projects. I have no real complaints. I uploaded images I have edited in photo director 7.

Love it. Fun to use

this program can do so much and I still have a lot to learn

Love this.Its easy to use and make my photos so much nicer.

The technical support is among the worse Ive ever experienced. My question was this: the software was not recognizing my camera for importing files, although Windows recognized that the camera was connected. There was an alternate way to import photos, but they would have to be imported one at a time, rather than all the photos on the camera at once. I emailed support (through their web interface) and received a canned answer that clearly didnt address my problem. I replied to them, and they ignored my reply.
