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 5.3
Pros: But it is a good tool for viewing, organizing and presenting photo collections. I do like the thumbnail presentation on the right side of its interface. It's a great tool for viewing photos an desktop wallpapers. The zoom in and out is a nice touch. It easily converts image format types from one to another and you can print directly from one of it's pull down menus. t has a nice, user friendly GUI and it's compatible with "Vista". The fact that you can get it cheap only helps to to make it an application worth having.
Cons: The audio and video management features leave a lot to be desired. It's not a photo paint, touch up, editing tool.

"This photo program is very good to use."
Pros: It is very easy to use this photo program from Ashampoo when all those features who are included with this program, and it is very advanced as well when everyone who would like to make any image better and add lots of things can do this very nicely and easy to. So I can only recommend this to all those users who are looking to try any kind of photo program, can use this one up to 40 days when it is very necessary to make a registered copy of it with a key code.
