Another issue with import is that when I started to import a large number of images – the 3,800 plus on my iPhone – PhotoDirector shut down. It went faster if I waited for the thumbnails to load into the import dialog – the PhotoDirector numbers in the table above are for immediately importing after media is inserted. One note, though import speed results were inconsistent. Time to import 246 CR2 files (in minutes and seconds, lower is better) Time to import 40 mixed raw files (in minutes and seconds, lower is better) And speaking of performance, on the Retina MacBook (a 2.3GHz Core i7 with 8GB RAM), loading the photo thumbnails for import also took an extremely long time, and the import speed compared with other applications is as follows:

You can, however, apply keyword tags, renaming, and a copyright notice.Ī progress bar appears during import, and you can zoom photos to full size and start editing, but performance isn't great. You can even apply effect presets like B&W Cool, Faux HDR, or Fantasy Pink, but oddly, you can't apply basic adjustments like auto-exposure. Better than Photo Mechanic but just as with Lightroom or Aperture, you can select photos for import from these thumbnails. This opens the app to its photo import dialog, which groups zoomable thumbnails of images on the card by date. When you plug a camera card into the computer, PhotoDirector adds an entry "From Inspiring Photos to Perfection" to the AutoPlay dialog – a simple "Import Photos" would suffice, but whatever (the marketing guys should have kept their noses out). On the whole, PhotoDirector gets very high marks indeed for its interface. Clicking on any history entry applies that point to the full image view. Undo is well implemented, and an excellent adjustment history panel not only shows all previous tweaks, but also a thumbnail at the top displaying a mini view of those tweaks' effects. You can't detach the program’s panels to float anywhere on screen, sadly.
This last choice doesn't change the whole interface colour as Lightroom's more helpfully does – just the area behind the photo – but the rest of PhotoDirector's interface is a dark enough shade to avoid affecting your concentration on the images. You can also view the image on a separate monitor, and select from four shades of grey for the background. As with Lightroom and Aperture, the F key switches you to full screen view. Like most photo apps at this level, PhotoDirector makes good use of keyboard shortcuts for most actions. But a single click switches between zoomed and unzoomed, which is convenient. Like Lightroom, PhotoDirector only lets you zoom to preset sizes – 25 per cent, 33 per cent, and 50 per cent, and so on – rather than having a full-range slider.
Flipping through images was snappy and delay-free, as was the program’s overall level of responsiveness – even on a less-than-stellar 2.5GHz dual-core laptop. In Adjustment mode, you can see a split before and after editing view.
