It is really designed for creative professionals who specialize in video.
#CYBERLINK DIRECTOR SUITE PRO#
PowerDirector: the Power of Premiere Pro With an Elements-Like Approachįor anyone who doesn’t edit videos for a living, Premiere Pro is a daunting - and expensive - application. Turning that around, you can also create Motion Stills from a video clip, by highlighting a portion you want to move and keeping the rest frozen. I find that especially interesting since one issue with video is that it isn’t as easy to view or share as a still image, so a way to capture motion in a single image is intriguing. On the more-innovative side, it can also extract a series of frames from a video and turn them into a multi-exposure still frame. PhotoDirector also adds a Dehaze command, in line with other popular editing packages. To accompany that there are various Style Packs. On the snazzier side are some AI-powered Style features, starting with a Style plug-in.
Tethered shooting has also been added, which should be a big win for many who work in a studio - a key market for CyberLink.
CyberLink has added Adjustment Layers, Clipping Masks, and Layer Groups. Speaking of Photoshop, one of the biggest updates in PhotoDirector 10 is to help it match the Layers capability found in Photoshop CC. In Photoshop this is accomplished with a simple pixel-based preset for the Crop tool. For example, to crop and resize an image I had to use the Crop tool from the Global Adjustments (which are non-destructive a la Lightroom), then resize when I exported it (this is a task I need to do all the time when preparing images for various websites like ExtremeTech). That can be frustrating, at least at first. To use PhotoDirector effectively, though, you really need to get into the spirit of how its modules are designed to work together.

The Library module is not as full-featured as the one in Lightroom, but it offers typical features like tagging and search, plus the increasingly common option to enable facial recognition.

The result is an all-in-one, value-priced alternative for your full image editing needs. If you’re an Adobe user wondering about whether PhotoDirector has something to offer, imagine a single application that took the modules of Lightroom, added some of the Guided Edits features of Photoshop Elements, and then extended itself through most of the features found in Photoshop CC. While still promoting the individual purchase of its applications, CyberLink has taken a page out of Adobe’s book by offering a “365 Subscription” option that provides some exclusive content - along with product updates and plenty of Plugins, Style Packs, and even some 3rd-party add-ins. CyberLink’s collection of editing tools have long been an alternative to Adobe’s Creative Cloud, but now the company has made the comparison more clear by wrapping them into a unified offering branded Director Suite 365.
