We announce the winner of our Best Photo/Video Software award. PC Advisor has given its Best Photo/Video Software award for 2013 to the Bitdefender Internet Security. Here’s why.

In the fourth version of its Adobe Lightroom and Apple Aperture wannabe, CyberLink adds face recognition and OS X support. PhotoDirector Ultra 4 provides both easy and powerful photo-editing features, plus organisational tools. It has useful features for tagging faces and removing unwanted objects in photos. It also has a set of ‘people beautifier’ tools and can apply HDR-like effects to individual photos. With support for RAW camera formats and an affordable price, it deserves to be a popular choice for editing photos.
