Cyberlink-PhotoDirector-Ultra

A workflow “alternative” gets a major overhaul

Originally conceived as a simple workflow substitute to Adobe Photoshop, PhotoDirector Ultra has continually added powerful photo-editing tools and features that give Adobe a run for its money. These added features now include adjustment layers, masks, “deep learning” AI filters, and guided edits, among others.

PhotoDirector’s most recent version includes several new layer features like tethered shooting, soft proofing, AI-infused trickery, the power to separate GIFs into individual frames for multi-sequence images, as well as a robust template pack.

Despite this gradual incorporation of features and tools, PhotoDirector still stays true to its origins as an efficient, usable, and smooth image editing program designed with workflow in mind. One-click photo presets allow users to add deeply creative modifications to their photo collections. Styles like HDR, black and white, and split tone, as well as styles designed specifically for portraits and landscapes can be added at the click of a button.

PhotoDirector also includes fun features including a people beautifier that includes three presets: face tools, skin tools, and body tools. You can do anything from removing eye bags to whitening teeth. A working copy of your image is saved, so that you can undo anything that you edit.

To add to the fun, PhotoDirector’s AI-powered plugin uses “deep learning” AI technology to alter images on the pixel level which keeps users from having to apply multiple external layers to an image. These AI-layering effects allow users to add brush strokes and interesting color tones to their images with ease.

Tethered shooting is a new feature for PhotoDirector that can be extremely useful for both experienced and amateur photographers. Tethered shooting allows users to connect cameras to the app as they shoot. This way you can alter shutter speed and aperture, as well as adjust white balance and ISO directly from the app itself. It can be a great tool, but it only works with specific Nikon and Canon cameras, so make sure your camera is supported before expecting to make use of it.

Cyberlink’s PhotoDirector users have also reported occasional crash and freeze issues when using the video speed adjustment tool.

Available for both Windows (7 and later) and MacOS (10.11 and later), Ultra is available for download at $99.99.

Overall, Cyberlink PhotoDirector Ultra is a lively, engaging picture editor that is among the best photo editing software programs on the market. Its simplicity, power, and value make it a great option for amateur photographers or experienced editors on a budget. The most recent edition of PhotoDirector brings this once stripped-down, workflow alternative to Photoshop up to speed with other top software editing software.
