Outdated and poorly integrated with OSX

PhotoDirector 6 Ultra (Software)

Customer Review

I tested the Mac version of the software.
It is easily installed, either from the supplied DVD or from the Internet.
Many mobile applications are put forward by the publisher, sadly many are only available on Android, iOS or nothing for Windows Phone.
The application dresses in black to afford to focus on his work.
One option, surprisingly not enabled by default, lets you use the graphics card processor for calculations during treatments (OpenCL), you must restart the software once this option enabled.
The interface is not adapted to the last OSX standard, the transition to full screen mode for example does not take into account the Yosemite interface. Similarly support for iPhoto and Aperture libraries peak conspicuously absent, damage to a Mac software. When crashing I even had to restart the Mac because the software refused to restart.
Even by installing the latest update available, RAW files from my Canon G7X are not taken care of properly, I must first convert them to a format readable by PhotoDirector. I hope that very next version will fix this problem.
The editing functions are present and rather simple to access. The software is very oriented person with great portrait retouching functions: brush teeth, beautifying (hurray translation) of the eyes, skin smoother, your skin, wrinkle removal, body modeler. I enjoyed the principle object deletion will actually breed in the area to erase what you have under the mouse when the click. Hyper simple but devilishly effective and so we see what we do.
The "object deletion" function, whether in dynamic correction or deletion intelligent, never works first time, there are still artifacts, but by re-applicant on these function, we ended up getting a correct result for some there is no objects too close to the object to make them disappear.
Other editing features, bracketing HDR, panorama, face exchange are fairly simple but work well.
I found the watermark creator of a very good idea, by cons it is far too brief to be used professionally.
In summary a nice photo editing software rather specialized in the portrait and not well integrated with OSX, which I look forward to the support from my last camera.
