I want to use the Modern Album theme in the Slideshow Creator option. However, the text "Love Album" is not edittable as I would like to change it to, for example "Ava's Album" for better personalisation. How can this be achieved? If not, then how do I create an equivalent?

I am an avid supporter of Cyberlink product set. Although I prefer the stand-alone model rather than the subscription, being an elderly hobbyist rather than a professional. I like to pay for what I want rather than what I could have.
I have tried to use the Sky Replacement Tool with limited success.
Yes the vast majority of the sky gets replaced, but the finer detail is not achieved.
I also use Skylum Luminar 4, which has a much more effective sky replacement mechanism and achieves a much better effect. Basically, there is significantly less detailed processing needed.
It appears that the granularity of detail in this aspect of PhotoDirector requires a serious amount of attention.
Movement / resizing (general manipulation) of the "Sky" is also quite restricted and there is loss of detail in foreground objects, such as birds in flight.
This technology could probably be applied elsewhere within the product set.
If the Cyberlink development team read this then perhaps take a look at the Skylum site for examples.
I would much prefer to use the Cyberlink technologies, but this just shows that there is some work to be done.
I have attached image examples.
The sky replacements were effectively "out of the box" I.E. No manipulation has been applied.

It appears that Cyberlink have implemented a sky replacement tool on the subscription product, which is similar to that on Skylum Luminar4 and Luminar AI. Can the Sky replacement tool be added to PhotoDirector 12 Ultra standalone? That is, the non-subscription product.
PhotoDirector 12 Ultra is the main tool that I use, but I do have to revert to Luminar for "Sky work".
If it is available, then can I easily add my own sky images, which again is a feature on Luminar versions?
I am quite prepared to pay for the feature to be enabled but would then like to be able to have control of the effects / styles.
I am just a rank amateur who basically wants to buy a product that may require expense for upgrades, but does not want to be encumbered by a continuous subscription expenditure. I.E. I want to decide when I want to pay for the "new features", that is if I would ever require them.
As an aside. Does anyone know if Cyberlink are going to completely stop the support / upgrade of the standalone PhotoDirector product. If they are, then this is one customer lost.
Sorry for the rant.

Hello RobC99,
Welcome to the PhotoDirector forum
By right clicking any preset in Downloaded Presets or My Created Presets, you have the option to rename, delete or export it.
Once installed, downloaded presets (.pdadj) are stored at C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\CyberLink\PhotoDirector\Adjustment Presets\Downloaded Presets, so the .pdadj files can be deleted there also. I've just confirmed this for the first time, myself.

Wonderful. It was the stored location that was what I needed. Reducing the number of presets to a more sensible number (i.e. 30) did the trick.
Many thanks

I downloaded a Photo Preset Bundle (Around 700 items) and installed it. Unfortunately, when I go into PhotoDirector 10 Ultra and select Adjustments PhotoDirector just effectively locks up. How can I remove the Downloaded Presets manually. I cannot find their location anywhere within the PhotoDirector Directory structure. At least a simple way to reset the Presets would help.
