While it is missing some of the most powerful features found in Adobe, most home (

There are a lot of nice features to edit photos, make albums, collages, animated gifs, and change the lighting and look of a photo

even many professional) users don't use those features anyway so in the end those who choose this software over Adobe (and it's much higher price tag) aren't missing much

I may actually start to use Cyberlink PhotoDirector 9 now instead of Adobe Lightroom because Cyberlink doesn't require a monthly subscription and it has some neat features and creative presets that Adobe lacks.
