I downloaded it because it says...
"The handy Face Swap feature lets you identify and choose the best face from each member of a set of group photos. An advanced photo merging algorithm combines the best faces into a perfect group photo."

But it does not - you have to buy the full version. Likewise for a lot of the other features. It was not worth downloading. My existing photo editor (Corel Paintshop 2018) is vastly superior, but I intended to try this for the face swap features.
Yes, I know it is free, but all I ask for is a bit of honesty in the blurb. If it was any good I would have then bought it. BUT instead it was a waste of time and effort.
The description sounded good, but it is not what you get. I cannot see the point of coaxing people to download with claims that are not true. It just makes you doubt the software house. A pity because I use Video Director from Cyberlink and it is good (but rather "clunky").

Most of the time, if a program has cut down features or things omitted, or limits, Giveawayoftheday tell you. If I like the free one, then I usually buy the commercial product, but with this one Cyberlink have not done themselves any favours.

A great pity.

The day this developer stops playing around with the English language is the day it may be worth taking seriously.

Past so-called giveaways here and elsewhere have featured version suffixes SE (Special Edition) and LE (Limited Edition), both of which should, but probably didn't to those asleep at the mouse, flag up the fact that Cyberlink was punting crippleware.

Now it's no longer LE or SE but DE, though the outcome looks likely to be the same seeing as how, once again, a CyberLink retail product price is quoted -- on this page, the text specifically states: 'This program is available for $59.99 but will be for our visitors as a limited-time offer' -- but the product itself doesn't actually exist.

Just as there never was a PhotoDirector SE or PhotoDirector LE available for sale from CyberLink, nor is there a PhotoDirector DE.

Thanks, GOTD, but no thanks. If anyone on here wants to persuade themselves into believing that DE stands for DeLuxe, then I have a London bridge to sell them.

Downloaded & installed (337.13)MB! Seems to work ok but has occasional adverts promoting upgrades,etc.
In this version 8DE, there are no Layers functions!! Like getting to the end of a book only to find last page missing!
I know it's free,but if it is not what you need,why waste everyone's time downloading it?
Cheers

I just uninstalled this software from my computer as that always told me "this feature is not supported in this version. please buy a full version". It is rediculous ! Why do I need a software with such restricted functionality? It is easy to find out a number of free software from other companies, those work in similar way but with much wider range of functionality .

684kb is a very small program? No mention of system requirements apart from windows version.

donald trumpet,
lol, the real size is over 100 mb, closer to 300; and then it makes you jump through hoops
