Easy TutorialsĪs we’ve mentioned in our review of PowerDirector 365, CyberLink knows that not everyone who comes to their software starts as an expert. You’ll have seen something similar if you’ve ever used the Prisma app before.Įxpress Mode makes it easy to stick a photo in and churn out a polished work of art in minutes. There are also several AI filters that can give you all kinds of artistic paint-effects.

And each comes with different sliding bars that you can adjust to fine-tune color correction and more. Only, instead of a dozen or so preset filters that everyone uses, you have access to a library of hundreds of bespoke filters. It works sort of like editing a photo on Instagram. Express ModeĮxpress Mode is more paired down, primarily utilizing the presets that are also available in Full Mode. These simple tools are enough for small touch-ups and basic adjustments.įinally, there is a Create tab for slideshows and a Print tab for fitting photos to the dimensions of physical printouts. No artist worth their salt would be happy with this selection, but again, this software isn’t designed for illustration. The Edit tab gives you a basic set of design tools and the ability to edit your photo in layers like one would in Photoshop. The Content-Aware Removal tool was also especially useful for subtly removing any unwanted details. Achieving this effect usually requires a much more expensive camera. I particularly liked the Blur Brush effect, which allows you to create the illusion of a shallow depth of field.

This part of the program is a lot of fun to play with.

Theses range from People Beautifier and Photo Effects to Animation and 360 Degree Photo Editor effects. Once done with that, you can move to the Guided tab and play around with its collection of effects. You can adjust color, white balance, and tone manually under the Adjust tab, or you can use one of the hundreds of available preset filters.

As the name implies, Full Mode is the full scope of photo editing tools that CyberLink has to offer.
