Photo correction tools aren’t exactly thin on the ground, and while there are tools unashamedly aimed at beginners (Google Picasa) and high-end users (Adobe Photoshop Lightroom), most products attempt to straddle the middle ground, offering powerful manipulation and correction tools wrapped up in a user-friendly interface.

CyberLink is entering this crowded marketplace for the first time with PhotoDirector, and positions itself firmly towards the higher end user, marketing it as a product for photo enthusiasts as opposed to the more casual user, highlighted by its support for a wide range of RAW photo formats, including native support for Nikon and Canon RAW images.

The program can basically be split into three sections: Library (photo management), Adjustment and Slideshow, all part of the program’s attempt to create an intuitive workflow system for importing, managing, correcting and finally outputting finished photos. The Adjustment section is where Photo Director will stand or fall, and it offers the stock range of tools, wrapped up in a non-destructive environment, meaning you can experiment to your heart’s content before either applying or rejecting your changes. These can be manually applied using the various controls – adjustment, white balance, colour, tonal and lighting tools sit side-by-side with fix-it brushes like red eye and spot removal.
