PhotoDirector adds sparkles to the bright points on its own. Click the first Sparkle box and pick a style from the grid to change them all.

On the Auto tab, drag Intensity to set brightness, Amount to set how many sparkles appear, and Rotation to turn them.
3Add or erase single sparkles
Click Eraser and click a sparkle to remove it. Or pick a style in the second Sparkle box, click Add, and click the photo.
4Compare and export
Click the side-by-side view button to compare Before and After. Then click Export at the top of the window to save the photo.
