The key functionalities offered by the Cyberlink PD7 Ultra are available in Adobe Photoshop Elements, but the design is more friendly on the eyes. Cyberlink needs lower their price to be comparable to Elements before they will find a successful product.

I took one star off because the software froze at start up. I could not get it to work on Windows 10 with a 2.13 ghz dual core pentium P6200 processor, 4 gigs of RAM, and integrated video. I was able to install on my other Intel core i3 CPU Windows 10 laptop with 6 gb of RAM.

The minimum requirements on the box are 2 GB RAM, Pentium D multi core processor 3.0 ghz or above with hyperthreading, and 128 MB of video RAM. 6 GB of RAM with a Pentium i7 processor and 1 GB video card is recommended.

One more star removed for the lack of splicing functionality- two pictures cannot be placed next to each other. I had to edit two separate images and then splice it together in Windows Paint. Yes, it was easier to splice and change dimensions in my free Windows Paint program. Also- the object removal tool left too many artifacts from surroundings. I uploaded an example of how 12 repetitions of object removal still left ghosts. Object removal will work for an object surrounded by uniform colors like a field of grass, but not if it is touching multiple background colors.

Otherwise, the basic features such as slimming figures and red eye removal work like a charm. I hope they take the critiques here and update the software.
