CyberLink today launched PhotoDirector 4, the latest version of its photography software. The company also today released its first professional solution for video color grading, ColorDirector.

Designed with ease-of-use in mind, ColorDirector enables users to correct colors, adjust tonality, and change regional colors with motion tracking and selection masks.

ColorDirector allows video editors to optimize the tones and colors of videos with a selection of both single-click and precision adjustment tools. They can apply color corrections and changes either globally or only to specific regions of video. Editors can also use a variety of selection masks to isolate and adjust or change the color of moving objects. Presets can be created and applied to any video.

PhotoDirector 4 offers features for efficiently rendering huge batches of RAW photos and managing images via a library. It also allows users to make quick photo adjustments such as intensifying color and sharpening details of a targeted area of an image.

The software includes a number of new features such as Content-Aware Removal for intelligently removing unwanted objects, Body Shaper for creating amazing portraits, and HDR Effect for adding dramatic effect on landscape photos.

Other basic features in PhotoDirector 4 include:

- Photo Management - Users can organize and retrieve photos even easier with Face Recognition Technology.
