I have had the pleasure of beta testing a new product that is as close to Lightroom as you can get and when the beta testing is over I'm going to get this for free.
You can too!
If you sign up for PhotoDirector, download the beta (give it a quick spin), and fill out a short survey, then you too will get the full blown package when it's released next month.
There isn't enough room here to talk about all the cool features available in PhotoDirector, but you can read all about it online here (don't fret, there are more pictures than words as well as GREAT examples of what the features will do).
There is already almost 200,000 presets that you can download (yes, for free) or you can easily create your own.
I am not sure how much longer the beta will be open but jump over there right now and sign up before it's too late. Yes I know there are some very good free image editing software packages out there, but none of them (and most of the pay options) can't hold a candle to PhotoDirector.
The image below will show you some of the editng menu options that are available, to view it larger (so you can actually read it) simply click on it. The image will open full size in a new window.
Whoa, that looks pretty sweet! 200,000 presets?! Wow
ReplyDeleteAlso, I forgot to mention that the second link is not working.
ReplyDeleteFixed it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know.
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing! I have been playing with it this AM, and it is pretty wicked.
ReplyDeleteps. My Word Verification to post this is: poophole
Isn't it though?
ReplyDeleteAnd "poophole" really?! Too funny.
thanks :)
ReplyDeleteBummer, it doesn't seen to be available for the Mac.
ReplyDeleteVery Cool Find Scott!
ReplyDeleteWindows only!
ReplyDeleteSorry about that, maybe there will be a Mac version later in the development process.
ReplyDeleteI've downloaded the program, edited only 3 photos but I like what I see. I especially like that the program does not use an 'organizer' and the workspace is very 'clean.' Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteIt's unbelievable that it's Windows only, especially with so many photographers being Mac users.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a very well-put-together program. After a short time playing with it, so far I like it. Not sure how MUCH I'd actually use it, but I could see inserting it into my workflow in some cases.
Ditto to the Mac comments. Let us know when they put out a Mac beta version.
ReplyDeleteDarn I missed it !!
ReplyDeleteSorry 'bout that.
ReplyDeleteIt just proves you need to come to the blog more often!
