Editorial Review of Ashampoo Photo Commander 8
Note: This review covers v8.2 of the software.
Who knew organizing your digital photo collection could be so
much fun? Ashampoo's Photo Commander gives you the basic tools
you'd expect to find in a photo management utility--editing,
red-eye reduction, batch renaming--as well as some fun creative
project helpers that give you something to do with your photos
other than gaze lovingly at pages and pages of thumbnails. The
user-friendly and intuitive interface makes it a plus for those who
just want something to keep track of all those family snapshots,
and maybe create a Web-based photo gallery, without all the bells
and whistles a pro might need.
Some of the more entertaining features of the product include
wizards that help you create and print a 12-month photo calendar, a
photo collage, or a greeting card. You can also make more mundane
creations, such as contact sheets, but why stop there? The Photo
Mix wizard will let you blend images from two photos together,
which can lead to some pretty funny stuff if you pick the right two
images.
With simple tools that just make sense, Ashampoo gives you the
power to command your entire photo collection with just a few mouse
clicks.
