Hi Folks,

After upgrading to Power Director 12 Ultra I was invited to download photo director 3 free,
which I put in to a sub folder alongside of my PD12 installation.
How do I get the Photodirector icon in the Fix/Enhance module to recognise it ?
It works ok independantly.

Thanking for all ideas,

Robert

With a Photo on the timeline, Right click that photo > Edit Video/image > Edit in PhotoDirector.

It is not in Fix/Enhance.

I do not know if PhotoDirector 3 will appear. I have PhotoDirector 4 that came with PD 11 Suite.

Hi RobertA101 -

I don't have PhD3 installed any longer, but (as Carl said) the "round trip editing" feature was introduced with PD11 & PhD4.

I don't believe that you can access PhotoDirector 3 directly through the Fix/Enhance module, as you can with PhD4 & 5... but with a few extra clicks you can achieve the same result.

Cheers - Tony

Thanks Carl & Tony,
The right click option is there,
but brings up the same screen inviting me to buy Photodirector 5.
Never mind, I normally edit my photos 1st before importing them to the timeline, so just keep doing the same.
Regards,
Robert
