Review by Megan Bostic

I take a ton of pictures and sometimes you just want a quick click of the button to make a fix, and Photoshop can be a little daunting. This is where Cyberlink PhotoDirector 6 can help out.

It’s very easy to import pictures for organization. You can create albums, tags, etc. You can upload them to a cloud for safekeeping even.

I loved screwing around with the program the first time I sat down and played with it. It has your basic adjustments for tone, exposure, brightness, color, saturation, and lens correction.

It also makes it easy to target certain sections of the photo for changes, fixes or deletion. For instance, if someone photo bombed you and you want to take them out of the picture, this program will help you do it. For those people who are not very Photoshop savvy, I’m telling you, it is EASY.

It’s really fun playing with portraits because it has a whole beautification process you can put the photo through. You can adjust just about everything on the face, including eliminating wrinkles (yay for us who have surpassed the 40 year mark!) . You can adjust body shape, but, uh, no one would ever do that, right? hahaha. If you have a picture in which you look like Quasimodo, by the time you’re done with it, you could be looking more like Cinderella.

And it really does so much more than that.

You can also make simple slideshows with your pictures and set them to music.

I did have one problem with this, but I’m sure I can find a resolution. My new computer doesn’t have a disc drive and I didn’t find a place to download the software online even though I have the software key. So I had to load it on my old computer. I’m sure there must be a place to do it, I probably just haven’t found it yet. I’ll keep searching, or if anyone knows where it is, a link would be helpful, hint hint…

Anyway, as you can probably tell, I sing the praises of this software. I’ve never been disappointed with Cyberlink before, having used their video software in the past as well. I think it’s well worth the price and you will have a lot of fun with it and it won’t make you want to pull your hair out.
