CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET staff on March 04, 2009
Billed as "an all-in-one application for organizing, editing, sharing, and presenting photo collections," Ashampoo Photo Commander makes some big promises. Ultimately it delivers, but this isn't a program for the casual user.
The interface struggles to present the various (and numerous) options. It's overwhelming at first, and with so much going on, the black background makes it a little difficult to read. "How-to" pop up windows were a welcome sight, and they helped us get our bearings. Presentation issues aside, the program really proved its stuff in action. Photos are easily imported and scanned into the program. There are tons of options for adding effects and manipulating photo images, and even with a generous 40-day trial period, you won't be able to explore them all fully. We were impressed that when a specific image is selected, it appears with pixel, color depth, dpi, and memory information also displayed. We were able to easily turn image galleries into slide shows and burn them onto a CD. You can even add new images to your collection with the program's screen capture tool, an extra we appreciated.
Along with the wizard-like how-to guides, the program also offers a comprehensive Help file. Even with the extensive user guidance, the interface will likely make novice users shy away. For more experienced users willing to spend time mastering the busy interface, the program offers a very effective set of photo management tools.

Version: Ashampoo Photo Commander 7.10
"A good product that could be great"
Pros: Simple to use, quite powerful enough - I'd use Photoshop for anything more. Tools work well -
Cons: 3rd party plug ins made PaintShop Pro great - Photo Commander needs a lot more. "Quick Fix" menu is mixed up with the "Edit" menu - the latter should have ALL the normal editing tools in it.
Summary: I would like to see the Quick-fix menu changed to the 6 to 8 most common errors in digital photos - each with a tool to fix it. It does this in part with red-eye, crop, straight-line. But then it has an entry "Contrast/colors". What I would like to... read more >>
