Ashampoo Photo Commander 11 Editor's Review

Even if you are not a graphic design professional or photographer, you may find yourself dabbling with image editing or applying effects occasionally. With digital cameras becoming cheaper and Smartphone imaging capabilities touching new heights, most of the PC users have got newer means of dealing with digital images. However, to deal occasionally with image retouching or publishing some pictures to your social media profiles, you do not really need a power packed and costly app like those from stables of Corel and Adobe. If you are looking for an easy to use image editor that doubles up as an image manager app and does not cost much, give Ashampoo Photo Commander a try.

Ashampoo Photo Commander runs on PCs equipped with Windows XP SP 2 and later versions. The requirement for installed memory and available disk space is on the lower side compared to many image editors. You can install additional languages later. Unlike its earlier iteration, this version does away with express install option which added third party apps by default. The cost is a fraction of what you pay for popular image editors.

Upon first launch, you are greeted with a splash screen that prompts you to go through a tutorial. You can make changes to default application layout. You can choose to view images by date or location. There is an option to make albums with image collection. As you select an image the app displays it right in middle of the interface.

Like many entry level image editor and management apps, Ashampoo Photo Commander comes with quick fix solutions for image editing and adding special effects. The Effect-Pen lets you draw effects in an image easily. The Tilt-Shift tool is also quite effective. To improve overall appearance of an image such as the washed out ones, you can apply the app’s de-noise options. There is a quick fix module as well. This is suited for users who do not want to tinker with individual settings much. One good thing is that the app automatically saves a copy of the original image that you edit.

While you may find the app’s range of image fix and export features commendable, its omission of some basic features can annoy you. For example, the app does not rotate vertically shot photos automatically. Here it lags behind something as basic as Windows Explorer! Another gripe you may feel is about its sluggish speed. There are many competing apps and some of them freeware, that perform much faster than this software. The time needed to display thumbnails of all images in a large folder is tiring.

The organize tab in its interface has options for batch processing. You can watermark, convert file format and resize a number of images at one go. Once you are done with image editing, Ashampoo Photo Commander lets you share and export images in many ways. You can publish photos to social media sites from its interface. You can also share images via email using the app easily.

Positive Points:
 -  Decent set of image editing features.
 -  Automatic image backup for edited images.
 -  Moderate price tag.

Negative Points:
 -  Lacks some basic features like auto image rotation.
 -  Sluggish speed.
 -  Users need to download additional languages separately.

Conclusion:
If you are looking for a competent image editing and management app, Ashampoo Photo Commander may fit your needs. It does most of the tasks required by mainstream users decently. From image editing to publishing, it ticks almost all the boxes. However, there are freeware apps such as Picasa that offer similar features and better performance for free. Truth be told, there are some factors that go against this app. The inability to automatically rotate images shot sideways is quite unacceptable by present standards. The fact that it can be sluggish in certain tasks also gives competitors some edge. Other than these, it is a decent mid level image management and editing app.

Rating: 3/5
