It's a very nice program and has many good features on board. It's a bit more than the "usual Lightroom clone".

I can not install it. I get the following message: "The downloader process has encountered an error and can not be completed normally." (Error type; checking MD5)

from dl to running the s/w on system,
no issue for win10 x64 os.
thanks GOTD & CyberLink

Doesn't support bmp format, worthless to me!
Wasted my time downloading and installing.
Even photoscape supports bmp.

Seems to have installed okay, but wants a registration key before it will open. None was provided - at least none that I can find. Any suggestions??

Download and setup went sweet with my Windows 10 64x. Registration - straight through. Thanks CybeLink

Downloaded, installed and launched with no problems on my Windows 10 Creators edition today. Pasted license key included with notes in download.
Very nice program - thanks very much.

The readme text file should be reworded because obviously you have to unzip the package before you can get to the readme file. Maybe something like this would be more appropriate:

Install the software by running setup.exe from the package you've unzipped.

I have installed this software, but it wouldn't launch.
And when I try to execute dxdiag command, I am getting an error saying that it "might have been a problem accessing DirectShow the last time this program was used. Would you like to bypass DirectShow this time? Yes or No?"
And when I press "Yes", there is no VRAM value shown, and if I press "NO"-dxdiag window disappears, and I can see nothing.

I checked if my video card is up-to-date, and for sure it is.
My screen resolution is 1280 X 1024.

Cyberlink has a stable of excellent programs and I would love to try today's giveaway.

There are quite a number of knowledgeable contributors on this forum, so I am hoping that someone might have a solution to my problem (of not being able to launch CyberLink PhotoDirector).

Cheers,

consuella

Where do I find the product key? I received this from GAOTD and never received any key.

Ok Windows 10 x64 Pro using the suggest method of getting it from program website. Fast email, so so speed d/l. Installed ok to D internal drive with lots of files.
That method does take your email & it has the serial attached to the file name and is of a different, shorter kind than GOTD one offers to your email if done that way. Serial gets auto plugged in during install using site.
Nice looking, runs fast. If you have a recent strong PC, do select the internal Help Prefs and check box the Hardware Acceleration for a speed boost. Thanks posters & GOTD

Flawless download to my WIn7 x64, installation, AND registration. Nice program interface. This one's a keeper! Thanks so much, GAOTD and CyberLink!

Well, I downloaded it as a free giveaway of the day, but it just asks for activation key. Is there somewhere I can get the activation key?

Great software, installed with no problems. Well worth the download !!

Even though they say it supports Vista, it doesn't seem to.

The application is misinterpreting the operating system version, hence the kernel32 error. The only solution is for the vendor to provide an updated version that runs under Vista.

tried to download 4 times, stuck at 28 mb each time

Well, Downloaded very quick, and Installed Perfectly.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
Thanks for this Program!

Works great for me, really nice program. I have Windows 7.

Test Installed fine on win732 and win764.
Imported a photo (ya imported) did some testing works ok I'll keep it installed for times when a rough automatic function will fulfill a manual time consuming but accurate hand edit in another program.
This program would never replace a full featured editor, for one thing it has no ability to do anything outside its environment. There is no drag and drop, no open and save, no copy and paste there is only import and export. So these guys are insane if they think I'm going to import 12 gigs of photos into their program to store another copy or that I'm going to comment and flag and filter by comments all my photos. This might be something for someone who just got their first camera or phone and has no photo collection. What an insane idea.

I did the download and install, and now it wants an"activation key". Where would I find that ?? It also wants me to have "administration privileges" to activate it. I'm not sure how to do that. Can somebody help ??????

I was able to install the program but when I typed in the registration key it told me it failed to establish a connection to the activation server. I was able to register with my name, etc. but now whenever I start the program, it tells me it is not activated because a connection to the activation server could not be established. How do I enter the registration key again? My internet connection is fine.

I have the same problem: ""The procedure entry point K32EnumProcessModules could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"

Setup & registration was smooth & fast. I'm impressed & pleased with this beautiful program. And it's not a hog!! which is great news for my crammed full lappy :) Thank you GoTD & Cyberlink!

Downloader doesn't work on my Vista. Receive error message "The procedure entry point K32EnumProcessModules could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll"

Cyberlink have a habit of offering products that are not actually available to buy in the crippled form that they are often in.

This one though, on the surface, does have a listing on their site, so hopefully this will not be crippled in any way and will be a better way to give confidence to people to potentially upgrade to one of the more fully featured versions.

They seemed to have listened to past criticism, so thumbs up for that.

Dowloaded fine, tried to install but it tells me that it is not the right version for my computer. Windows 10. ??

seems that 90% of the comments here today are 'positive' which is a pleasant surprise lately, I use an
obscure photo program from 'photosuite' that works well for me to adjust cats and dogs eyes so
for me that option is something i will check

Quick download, easy installation and registration. Loads and runs well on my older i5 PC. Looks to be a keeper for me. Easy to grasp the layout and system of handling the edits one wants to perform. Huge thanks.

Installed fine, works fine. Seems basic, but since it's free, I'll give it a try.
Thank You

Strange ,the program downloaded without problems then it downloaded the instillation files and i installed as admin, all went very well without problems but after installing the program just would not start no matter what i tried including restarting the computer the program is installed but not running , windows 10 , 64bits system. by the way twice new download and installed. Any ideas anyone ?

I have windows 10 64bit. Downloaded and activated it (twice now). I can only import photos from my system disc C: when I try to import from my external hard drive I get a continuously spinning star with the word loading even if I try for just one photo. If it would say what is wrong that would help. Tried running the program as administrator - no joy. I looked at the help and it said I should be able to import from an external drive. I store all my photos on that hard drive. If the deveoper can tell me how to give it permission to access my hard drive I would be greatful. Otherwise it is useless for me.
I just noticed that if I select "make an extra copy" it will import from my hard drive, but I dont want a second copy of all my photos on my C: drive.

Very quick download. During the install process, this message popped up:

*CODEC ACTIVATION
When you use certain technologies essential to multi-media functions for the first time, the software application will collect the serial number of your computer system and the product key (CD key) for activation purposes only.

Is it usual to have the serial number of the 'customer's' computer collected ?

Just installed. It works. But you get an Time Limited Offer to upgrade to Photodirector 8 Ultra for $ 39,99. Clicking Upgrade the price is $ 54,69 ???. Can anyone explain this? hjh (NL)

Sorry, tried them all, but still can't download !!

Downloaded,installed and registered first time with no problems. Looks like a handy keeper, I've just deleted version 6 and look forward to them giving away version 8! A comprehensive program trying to emulate PS, but trying too hard and has consequently not achieved some of the finer points available in PS,BUT, it's free so Grab It!
Thanks GOTD.

Hi, I went straight to their homepage where you'll find:
'Download your Gift copy of
PhotoDirector 7 Deluxe
Exclusive download for Giveaway of the Day',

Next filled simple form with name and e-mail (I think e-mail is only needed in case they want you to agree to newsletters, but one can simply opt out), got License Key there and then on page (to be copied and pasted later on) and d/loaded Installer from THERE, rather than GOTD page, in this instance.

Once running Installer it downloads larger (264MB) exe file and gives choice where to install it. I created Folder on my external Drive, which is always useful if you're not sure it'll provide one and had no problem installing it. I have Win7 Premium, 64-bit.
Next run a shortcut from your desktop, start the Program and register with given Key.

I had 2 previous versions of PhotoDirector (5&6) on my PC and they stayed intact (during installation they'd ask if you want to keep your settings, I said yes to that)
I wish and hope is that easy for everyone else. It's generally a useful and decent Photo Tool to have and enjoy! Thanks.

I took a different route today and visited Cyberlink's product page for the download because I read the other reviewer's complaint about the download speed and thought what the heck.

Went to check my email, sure enough there's the download link and License Key.

I downloaded the setup file in a few seconds (3 maybe). Scanned file (though I trust CyberLink), ran the setup which downloaded the install files from CyberLink in about 40 seconds (264.94 MB file). Scanned said file and installed in less than two minutes.

Launched program, then using the License Key which was mailed to me I activated the program. Wow. From bing to bang in under 5 minutes... nothing to complain about there. I'm on fast internet but use an ancient 6GB rig and Windows 7 Pro 64.

Offered a choice of registering the software or not, I prefer to not enjoy the benefits of regular mailings. :)

Just click the box to Skip Registration.

Dialog box opens. "Would you like to participate in the CyberLink Product Improvement Program?" I believe in helping the developers (especially since I get to use their product for free) but in my case, on this old machine, I don't need any more memory being lost to background noise so I chose no (sorry CyberLink, you know I love you).

Program opens much faster that Photoshop (CS6). I loved the intuitive and modern looking install interface and when the program opens it looks nice and dapper... no 1995 throwback here.

I don't have time at the moment to use and report on the specific capabilities/limitations of this program, but given CyberLink's reputation with good software and the fantastic install process, there's no reason not to give this one a huge thumbs up.

Awesome GoTD!

Downloaded and installed pretty quickly for me, and I have an old, slow computer with a quirky internet connection. Can't speak to how the program works yet, but the download process wasn't an issue for me.

Make sure to open the 'read me' file and get your key to open the program.

Can't tell you how good the program is because I haven't used it yet but the installation was extremely smooth and quick - two minutes from start to finish. As #3 said the registration key is in the readme file. However in order to register you must enter an email address although you can decline to receive email with special offers etc. etc.

I did not download it yet, but I should point out that this is an old version, the latest version is Photodirector 8.

It´s fine, I have been reading good reviews about this software, it is only one version behind and I will download it shortly, but people should know this.

It cannot run on a 32 bit machine? Please rectify and clarify.

The registration key can be found in the readme file or you can get it from the publisher's site. This is a pleasant change from other publishers that require an email address. Unfortunately this was the high point of the installation process for me.

The setup file is a 1.1 MB downloader file. It downloads a 264.94 MB package. The install process is not a normal one. you will need to run the setup file as administrator if you want to change the install folder.

I had my Shadow Defender on so I proceeded with the install. It got to 2 % and stalled. I went for a walk and came back... still at 2%. I waited a while longer but there was no progress. I canceled with the task manager and uninstalled via reboot. Thank you for the offer but I will have to pass.

Sorry, but cannot download as my computer says "setup.exe is not a valid Win32 application"
What next ?

This seems to be a good piece of software, but the supplier needs to check his/her download site for transfer speed, this is not on at all. Slow, far to slow.
