PhotoDirector: Photo Editor 4+

Great ad for photoshop

Ok. So I get it. This is cheaper. Much cheaper than Adobe Creative Cloud. But what price your sanity? After trying to use this product, in which the creators have scrupulously gone out of their way to produce the most unintuitive application I can imagine, I willingly whipped out my credit card and felt soooooo good splurging on Adobe. In fact I suspect that Adobe actually paid these people for the promotion! Happy to report that the basic stuff this couldn't / wouldn't / or just plain didn't want / to help with is now done within five minutes of installing decent software. Sorry, harsh, I know, but sort it and then you won't get this!

Great for beginners and experienced users

Having had the mobile app which I've used often, I needed to download the desktop version to use the animation effects with more precision. I edited parts of a still image to become a dripping effect using anchor points etc. Easy to accomplish quick results so I was pleased. Just as straightforward as the mobile app and with it's other features, this app is a good starting point for photo editors and a competitive app for advanced users.

Useless: Cannot save images in free version

The Free version of an app often has a reduced features to act as taster for the paid version. However, it isn't even possible to save the images once they have been edited. So, the free app is useless unfortuately.
