BetaNews exclusive: Grab a full copy of CyberLink PhotoDirector 3 for free
Windows users are spoiled for choice when it comes to photo editing tools. The offerings range from very powerful and expensive suites like Adobe Photoshop, to basic yet free applications like Microsoft Paint. CyberLink, a company best known for its video software, entered this market a couple of years ago with PhotoDirector, an excellent but affordable tool which can be used to manage, enhance and share photos.
PhotoDirector is very easy to use, mostly due to its neatly-organized interface. It groups the available functionality into five tabs -- Library, Adjustment, Edit, Slideshow and Print -- which allows users to import and organize photos, tweak various elements (color, lighting and contrast among others), "beautify" people (make teeth whiter, remove wrinkles, etc.), create slideshows and even share them on YouTube afterwards.
The latest version of the software, PhotoDirector 4 (which we reviewed here), was introduced in mid-September last-year, adding a number of new features and enhancements over its predecessor, PhotoDirector 3 (pictured below).
Users get new effects and tools like HDR, item removal, body brush and trimmer, and face recognition for identifying and tagging people. CyberLink has enhanced existing functionality as well, improving the chromatic aberration, white balance and spot removal, among other features.
PhotoDirector 4 runs for $79.99 but if you don't need the latest and greatest edition, BetaNews readers can download PhotoDirector 3 for free by using this link. Product key: DOSW3-2U6H3-USALF-ZE6R7-G4S38-C4PC7
