Cyberlink Photodirector 6

Does anyone have any experience with Cyberlink Photodirector 6, please? I'm looking for a cheap photo editing suite and this seems to fit the bill.

I use their movie editing software and like it but have never tried photo director.

I've played with it some and IMO, it's very, very good. It's both an image editor AND a file manager which will appeal to most people but is something I do not care for (that's also one of the big reasons I use Photoshop instead of Lightroom). That being said, the file management tools are okay, if a little rough in my opinion, while the editing tools are really quite good. I was surprised to find PD6 has a lot of the neat stuff, like Content Aware tools, for example, that Photoshop has.

I don't know what, or how much, experience you have with editing digital photos but PD6 is a true, full-featured photo editing application so be prepared for a relatively steep learning curve if this is all new to you.

Thanks for the reply.

I have many years experience with both LR & PS but having given up my business I no longer have a need for such power.

I was looking at Serif's new release of PhotoPlus (X8) but it doesn't support any of the latest range of DX cameras and there are no plans to do so.

I'll try out Photodirector.

corel has a good program and easy to use.

I'd forgotten about Corel. Thanks!

If you're still shopping around I'd suggest you look at ACDSee Pro 8 as well. I like Corel's Paintshop Pro but I like ACDSee Pro a whole lot better.

Nice one! And I think it ticks all the boxes too: Win 10 ready, integrates with OneDrive, geotagging built in. Trial downloaded!
