![]() The result is a comprehensive and functional suite of digital media tools, with cutting-edge technology both to handle the latest formats and to assist in your editing tasks: So as PhotoDirector 5 adds Bracket HDR (High Dynamic Range) processing to merge multiple exposures into a single high dynamic range image - the same idea also moves into ColorDirector 2, with the HDR Video effect to add expanded dynamic range and a visible pop to video segments. One interesting example of CyberLink's approach to building technology into applications is the way it shares filters and effects between photo and video editing. These are currently only for Windows 8 tablets. ![]() Then there's the tablet world, where CyberLink has introduced PowerDirector Metro and PhotoDirector Mobile, available separately or bundled with the new releases of their namesake tools. And while the majority of these tools are for Windows only, PhotoDirector also is available for Macintosh. Plus, CyberLink has added a photo editor and manager, also upgraded to PhotoDirector 5. ![]() In addition, CyberLink has expanded its digital media product line into a full PowerDirector 12 suite with audio and color tools - now upgraded with AudioDirector 4 for audio-for-video soundtrack editing and ColorDirector 2 for video color grading. But as CyberLink has expanded its technology over the past decade, it also has focused on interface design to organize the plethora of capabilities in a clean and approachable way. The early PowerDirector was clearly a consumer tool, with a simple storyboard and a very modal interface for different functions, controlled by the dial in the top left corner. You may think you know CyberLink from years of using PowerDVD to play and explore DVDs on your PC, and also seeing its backup and burning bundled across a wide variety of DVD players and Windows systems.īut CyberLink has been leveraging its technology in video compression and display much more broadly - particularly in its PowerDirector video editor, which I've been covering at least since version 2 from February 2002 (see screenshot), and which has just been updated to version 12 from version 11 last year (see previous post).
