About This App

PhotoDirector 365 is CyberLink's subscription-based photo editing application for macOS, offering tools for RAW processing, colour correction, composition adjustment, retouching, layering and creative effects. It serves casual photographers and enthusiasts who want a middle-ground between smartphone photo apps and professional software like Lightroom or Capture One, combining quick edits with more advanced features like non-destructive RAW support, content-aware removal, and AI-powered enhancement tools. PhotoDirector 365 operates on a yearly subscription model.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">We could not find clear information about whether PhotoDirector 365 ships a native Apple Silicon build. CyberLink has not publicly announced Apple Silicon support for this product, and the search results available do not confirm either way. Contact CyberLink directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build of PhotoDirector 365 exists or is planned, since you have roughly 27 months until Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If a native build is not yet available, ask for an estimated timeline so you can decide whether to wait or transition to an alternative. In the meantime, your current Intel build continues to work under Rosetta 2, but it will stop launching entirely once macOS 28 releases. If native Apple Silicon support is not forthcoming, consider alternatives like Adobe Lightroom (with native Apple Silicon support, subscription-based) or Pixelmator Pro (one-time purchase, native, excellent for enthusiasts).

Based on the search results, PhotoDirector 365 appears to be actively maintained by CyberLink with recent updates and ongoing development, including AI feature integration and cross-platform support. However, I could not find definitive confirmation that a native Apple Silicon version has been released. Since this is an actively developed commercial application from an established developer, you should check directly with CyberLink for the latest version or monitor their website for Apple Silicon compatibility updates. If you need a native alternative immediately, consider Pixelmator Pro, which offers similar photo editing capabilities and runs natively on Apple Silicon, though it may lack some of PhotoDirector's AI features.
