Ive been using Pinnacles Studio video editing software since version 9. To be honest, I never thought it ever was a great program from a technical standpoint, it was just so easy to use. Earlier versions of Studio often crashed in the middle of editing a project losing any unsaved work in the process. In 2005 Avid bought Pinnacle and really did a lot of work behind the scenes to make the product more and more stable, without making any major changes to the user interface.

I am a novice by all meaning of the word when it comes to digital photography and photo editing, but I find CyberLinks Photo Director 6 easy to use and easy to get amazing results without much effort.
The program is broken down into several tabs: Library, Adjustment, Edit, Slideshow and Print. Library organizes and imports files. Adjustment has two settings, presets and manual. The multiple presets allow the user to choose from a number of built in color and photographic effects.

This product was made exclusively for the Mac from the ground up, but with its slick black glossy interface palettes it looks like it is running on Vista.nAside from that, this program is great! For those who think IPhoto is severely limited and don’t want to spend what you need to spend for Photoshop, Pixelmator is a great alternative at such a low cost. For those who are familiar with the photoshop interface, you might find the one in Pixelmator eerily similar.

I gave this 4 stars because I haven’t had a chance to learn most of the features yet, but as I said, so far so good. I wish there was an easy way to learn how to work the program… ie, a video course that comes with it. But alas, I guess I will have to sit down with the book and slog my way through. That’s the other reason I only give it 4 stars.

So far I haven’t really used it, mainly because it seems more like a toy. I haven’t figured out a practical use for it.

Although my computer (and most computers) come with basic disc burning capability, sometimes it is better and easier to have a more comprehensive product. I’ve always heard good things about Roxio – I even had a more basic program of theirs years and years ago – so I was glad to try this out. Well, the bottom line is that it works. It works better than what Windows has to offer.
