Between Zoner and Cyberlink, which one is better? Thanks!

[Alpha]

Haven't used either hakah but what i have seen from the reviews and description is cyberlink photo director has many more features compared to zoner photo studio home. But i think cyberlink photo director will be a resource hogger(as all the cyberlink products are). So if you don't want any advanced features, then this zoner photo studio will work perfectly for you.

Guess ken is much more knowledgeable in this field, he'll guide you in a better way.


Thank you

There no are huge differences between the 2 softwares. They have more or less the same functions, just organized differently and is thus to see how you would be better. I personally prefer Zoner.
However they are suitable only for beginners and casual photographers. A photographer a little more evolved needs, in my opinion, advanced features, and is expected to focus on more powerful software. Would be sufficient to the Pro version of Zoner Photo Studio or the best among those at accessible prices, Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 (second only to "big brother" Photoshop CS5).
