CyberLink PhotoDirector 4

From the maker of our favorite consumer-level video editing software, CyberLink PowerDirector, comes this excellent photo workflow app. PhotoDirector 4 makes importing, organizing, and optimizing your digital photos a breeze. Not only does it offer the tone, white balance, sharpness and noise reduction tools you expect, but it goes beyond this with HDR, chromatic aberration correction, and geometry fixers for keystone and fisheye distortion. PhotoDirector also has regional adjustment brushes and masks, with heal and clone spot removal. It lets you organize your photos by recognizing faces—something you won’t even find in Adobe’s Lightroom—at about half the price. BUY NOW
