Ashampoo Photo Commander is a powerful photo editing program for PCs. You can organize, edit and share all your digital images. Are you a professional photographer? Do you like collecting wallpapers? Do you create artwork digitally? If the answer is YES,  this is an ideal software for you.  Bellow, I will try to give a little review of it.

When you run Photo Commander for the first time, a helpful Welcome Wizard walks you through the steps of using the program. Not that you would need it though, since the program is very user-friendly in the first place. Its full version is the perfect tool for beginners who want only the best for their photographs. It has some advanced features for customizing any photo.

It is suitable for everyone from beginners to professionals. Once all your images are in order, it is time to work with them in detail.

The interface of Ashampoo Photo Commander is as beautiful as you could expect it to be. The GUI is highly polished, yet not complex in the slightest. There are three areas in the interface of the application:

1. Folder Area
2. Content Area
3. Preview Area

Folder Area

The Folder Area is the sidebar on the left edge of the Ashampoo Photo Commander interface. You can use this navigation panel to browse through your folders, just like in Windows File Explorer. You can browse every folder on the PC, including those stored on DVDs, Blu-Ray discs, external hard drives, USB storage disks, network folders, Windows Library folders, etc.

Content Area

The Content Area, or the central pane is where you see the contents of the folder which you have selected on the side panel. The Content area displays the thumbnails of every photo in the folder. And that’s not all, you can also see the thumbnail preview of video and audio files.

Preview Area

The Preview Area, which is on the right side of the interface, is where displays the preview of your videos and photos. You can double-click on any photo to switch between the photo browser mode and the single-view mode. To return to the other mode, double-click on the picture again.
