It's a shame CL website appears so confusing to many. This link should show you the upgrade path of PD18/19 to PD20 Ultimate perpetual license, https://www.cyberlink.com/store/powerdirector-video-editing-software/upgrade_en_US.html CL really does not offer PD19 as a advertised portal page product, although you can still buy it. CL works pretty much just in the moment with only current offerings.
Keep in mind, you will lose some capability so make sure you understand current needs vs the software offering. Some examples, NewBlue Fx, DTS, ProDAD,......

Thanks a lot for your answer, Jeff, it looks like that website should do the job.
I'm a little concerned about your comment that I would lose some capabilities since I don't know what those capabilities are, or how to find out. Also some of the things they say are new in PD20, I already have in PD18. Maybe mine aren't AI and theirs are, but, I would call that an enhancement, not "new". One last thing, are the examples you gave things I'll lose, or things I'll gain?
Thanks again for your answer.

I currently have PowerDirector version 18.0.3801.0 (64 bit) Ultimate.
When I open the program and click on the PD icon it says that no upgrades are available. Shouldn't I be able to upgrade to PD19,, or jump directly to PD20? I can't find just an upgrade anywhere on the cyberLink site (they mostly want you to subscribe). If these upgrades are available, how do I access them? All I can find is the retail box of PD20 Ultimate at the full retail price. I don't think I should have to buy it since I already have most of the features.
I do not want to subscribe to anything (just a stand alone, 1 computer, license). Also, is it possible to jump directly from PD18 to PD20 (at a cost increase, of course),, or do I have to go to PD19 first?

Hello ALW 246,
Welcome to the PhotoDirector forum 
I've used PhotoDirector since it was first launched (whenever that was) and I've never known it to automatically import photos from anywhere! It's possible I may have missed something, but I can't see how.
It's true that the sample photos will be included once you open your first project, but, after you delete them from the project, that's that! No more sample photos in that or subsequent projects unless they're deliberately imported.
Try this:
- Open PhD
- Go to File > New Project
- What happens? Does PhD automatically import photos?

Hello Pix,
That works! But it seems kinda weird, maybe its just because I'm new to PhD.
I found out that it is not automatically loading from my "Pictures" folder, it is automatically loading the last project that I worked on. Is that normal?
Part of what seems weird is that when you go to File _ New Project the first thing you have to do is name and save it (not the old project, the new one, before you do any work in it), and then PhD has to restart.
I thought it would work like PowerDirector. It opens on a new project, you do your work, and then you name and save it. If you finish a project (or in the middle of one) you can start a new project without having to restart the program.
Anyway, like I said, your idea did work to give me a clean slate and I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Is there a way to keep PhD from inporting photos every time I start it? It was inporting sample photos, and I got it to quit doing that, but now it is inporting all of the photos in my "Pictures" library.
I want to start with a clean page, and just inport what I want to work on.
My ios: Windows 10
I'm using: PhotoDirector 11
Version: 11.0.2307.0 (64 bit)
Type: Ultra
