About Ashampoo Photo Commander 5
Ashampoo Photo Commander 5 makes managing and organizing even the largest collections of digital photos easy. Its powerful integrated photo editing tools make it a one-stop solution. Instead of switching to a graphics application you can do all your adjustments and enhancements directly in the organizer. Remove the red-eye effect, adjust colors, contrast, hue and many other parameters, resize, crop, rotate, add a wide range of special effects and more. All without leaving the program.
But that's not all. You also get a suite of powerful and yet easy-to-use creativity tools: You can generate web albums of your photos that you can post on your home page. You can send your photos to friends by email, create collages, calendars and greeting cards, add picture frames and vignettes, insert text bubbles, add text, create slide shows and view them on your computer or burn them to CD or DVD, complete with a viewer program so that anyone can play them. You can also back up your images to CD or DVD, also without leaving the program.
Batch Processing
The Batch Processing tool doesn't just convert multiple selected photos to other formats - at the same time it can also resize the images, adjust brightness and contrast, apply effects like drop shadows and sharpening, adjust the color depth and more. If you've ever spent hours adjusting hundreds of photos you'll understand immediately how useful this feature can be!
Mouse Tools
Mouse Tools are one of the unique features of Ashampoo Photo Commander that you have to see in action to really appreciate. They make editing easier by displaying all the commands you need for using the tool in the image where you are working. Instead of searching in menus you just cli** on the self-explanatory tools. For example, there are mouse tools for adding text, arrows, callouts (text bubbles) and shapes and for removing the red-eye effect. Other mouse tools include clone (for retouching), erase, marker (a highlighter) and select/crop.
Audio and Video
Ashampoo Photo Commander 5 is also a multimedia management tool. It displays videos and plays audio tracks just as easily as it can manage your photos. Videos are displayed in the organizer with thumbnail images, just like photos. You can zoom them, play them in full-screen mode, extract screenshots, create video playlists and more.
You get all the functions of a good audio player without having to leave Photo Commander. Play and organize your audio tracks, create and store playlists and much more. Playlists can be stored in the program's own format or the universal .m3u format for export to other programs. In addition to all the operations you can perform on the individual media file types you can also create multimedia playlists, combining photos with audio and video files, which you can then display one after another like a slideshow.
Other features
Ashampoo Photo Commander 5 supports "skins". You can load different skins for a different look or even redesign its user interface yourself. It also supports plugins for handling additional file formats. A number of plugins are already available, including plugins for the the Canon RAW, Kodak Flashpix, HDR .dds, Industrial Light & Magic HDR .exr and Joint BiLevel .jbg formats.
Supported formats
