Thanks for the heads-up about Krita. I like what I've seen so far.
Krita isn't PhotoDirector & neither is trying to be the other. PhD is essentially photo management/adjustment software with some extra options. Krita is a drawing/painting app. They're different.
You'd have figured out already that you can use PhD for the purposes it suits & Krita for the purposes it serves. Easy.
Today, when opening CL Application Manger on my laptop, I get a blank sign-in screen (see attached screenshot). I've uninstalled & reinstalled but I still get the same thing Oddly, I don't get the same issue on my desktops.
Would it be possible to import more than one picture at a time and apply the same effect on all of them before exporting them all together?
Sorry. When I read that I took it as "adjustments" rather than actual "effects", listed under Photo Effects in the Guided module of PhD.
What you've found is correct. In the Adjustment part of PhD, you can mass produce by applying (copying & pasting) adjustments. The same thing doesn't apply to the Guided part, where effects & modifications can only be applied to individual photos.
As optodata said, changes you make to your photos in PhD aren't permanent until you export them (& then - only if you choose to overwrite the original file).
Adjustments you make in PhD are all undoable...
1. reset within each part of the Adjustment module
2. reset all adjustments
3, using the undo option (Ctrl+Z)
Could you please pont out the "burn marks" in the photo you attached?
In PhD, the parent folder displays the total number of photos in that folder (including those in sub-folders & loose in the parent folder). Each sub-folder displays the number of photos in the subfolder (logically).
In the parent folder, Windows shows the total number of items (sub-folders & loose photos).
To me, it all adds up & doesn't cause confusion. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you've said.
I can confirm what both Jeff & PDM have reported here. With Preferences > HA unchecked, production to H.265 & h.264 is fine. With HA checked in Prefs, I got either (a) audio only files or (b) stalled rendering.
To test further I grabbed original Fuji X-T3 sample clips from Imaging Resource & found exactly the same thing.
In the case of your issue, I found no difference between the 365 version & PDR21 (tested both).
.dzp? Well - that would explain why they don't appear in the Titles library!
I can't explain how templates uploaded to DZ as titles and displayed as titles on DZ would be downloaded as .dzp files. Typically, .dzp files are Particles or PiP Objects (Video Overlays).
Could you provide a DZ link to one of the "titles" you downloaded as a .dzp file?
That C:\Users\Public\Cyberlink folder I mentioned might be helpful in your investigations.
You're right. I've just checked cropping behaviour in the Edit module in PhD365 & PhD13. With aspect ratio unlocked, the current build of PhD365 snaps all over the place, where PhD13 cropping actions are predictable & as expected. Same thing occurs in Adjustment too. (Incorrect)
I'm sure the people at CL are onto it, or will be soon!
I had a hunt on DZ to see whether that psychedelic oil slick overlay was there, but had no luck... I tried to find a way of creating a custom overlay in PhD, but had no luck.
So I did a "naughty" thing I'm not suggesting you should do the same, but it may give you the result you're after.
Here are the steps I took:
Google image search for "oil slick pattern"
Select some and save as
Locate folder containing overlay effects at C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PhotoDirector14\PhotoDirector presets\Overlay
Crop (square) & resize oil slick images (1024x1024) to match images in "Grunge" subfolder
Make backup copy of Grunge subfolder (in case of error or regret)
Rename oil slick images to "01_grunge_multiply.jpg" etc to match images in Grunge folder
Replace (some) images in Grunge folder (5)
Open PhD & Voila!
I've attached 3 of the images I used, but they may not suit what you want.

Maybe.
- I was going on about the R6 but neglected to read the "Mark II" bit. Silly me. I was wrong.
