Ashampoo (which takes its name from its disk cleaning utility, said to be "a shampoo for your disk") makes a wide range of software, from antivirus and ZIP utilities to photo editing. The company's Photo Commander application provides a decent toolset of image corrections and enhancements, but it hasn't evolved much since our last review except in terms of performance, batch processing wizards, and support for more file types. Its interface remains less polished than those of competitors like our Editors' Choice winner for enthusiasts (as opposed to professionals), Adobe Photoshop Elements. Photo Commander also offers fewer advanced tools than you get in competing products such as Corel PaintShop Pro and ACDSee Photo Studio Ultimate.
Photo Commander is available as a direct download from Ashampoo for $55. That's about half the price of the market-leading Adobe Photoshop Elements and most other full-featured photo programs. Photoshop, our Editors' Choice winner among photo apps for professionals, ends up costing hundreds or thousands of dollars over the course of a few years since it requires a subscription. Capture One costs just $299 one time. The closest in price is PaintShop Pro, which you can get for $69.99, though that's purely for image editing and not photo collection organizing. Ashampoo also sells the $33 Photo Optimizer, a program that promises to improve your pictures in one click.
The software runs on Windows 11 or Windows 10 (64-bit). The installer file is a 577MB download, reasonable as far as photo editing software goes. If you're willing to register your email address, you can try out the software with a free trial version that lasts 30 days.
You start by downloading and running Ashampoo Connect, the manager app for all the company's software, which then downloads and installs Photo Commander. During setup, the software asks if you want a light or dark interface. Most competitors just default to dark, which I recommend for photo editing. You also select your preferred language from 31 options.
Photo Commander's interface is on the cluttered, cobbled-together side with buttons, text links, and menus everywhere. It's not hard to find what you need, however. You start out in a disk folder tree view. Here, the interface is divided into three areas, with a left-side Folder panel, Content in the middle, and Preview on the right. If you double-click an image in the center, it enlarges to take up most of the program window in Quick Fix mode. You can resize the three panels horizontally, and Folder can switch to When, Where, and Filing views. That last one lets you drag and drop to add or remove image files. Once you're viewing a photo, the program shows large mode selections below the small standard menu entries across the top left. It's not the slickest interface, and some elements look too small even on a 4K monitor.
The mode choices are Common, Quick-Fix, Objects, Create, and Organize. Most programs have that last one in the first position, since that's usually how you start. To get back to the folder view, you press the left-most button, Home. It's a strange arrangement. Most programs with modes have the mode buttons always showing. Undo and Redo arrows are joined by an Undo All Actions button for when you want to start over. To zoom in on and out of a photo you can simply spin the mouse wheel, which makes things easy. There's no 1:1 (or 100% viewing) button, but there's a menu choice and a right-click option for it. I like how file details are shown across the bottom, including filename, date, dimensions, and shooting settings like f-stop and shutter speed.
One final interface note is that Photo Commander doesn't use its own icon in its Taskbar entry, but rather a tiny thumbnail of the photo you're editing. Frankly, I think using a consistent program icon is more helpful, but this is hardly a deal-breaker.
Along the bottom of the photo preview window are options that let you five-star-rate (yes, that's the only amount of stars you can choose, and there's no Reject option for bad photos), keyword-tag, and title your photo. After doing so, you can search based on that text in the center Home view panel. Photo Commander can identify a photo's location from embedded GPS data, which most smartphones include in a photo's metadata. But there's no integrated map view. You don't get a face recognition or people tagging option, either.
A beneficial kind of tool in Organize mode is Find Duplicates. You specify a folder and wait for a progress bar in the tool's dialog box to complete. It took longer than I expected when I tested it, though my folder contains some large raw camera files. This feature for finding duplicates tells you how similar photos are with a percentage, so it's actually analyzing the images.
Tapping the Contrast/Colors option shows side-by-side before-and-after views of your photo, with sliders for both color and exposure along the bottom. I do like the Gamma control, which lets you change exposure in a realistic way because it bumps up brightness in a non-linear fashion (see the tutorial on Understanding Gamma). It's similar to what other programs call Exposure.
The big adjustments that are missing from Photo Commander are shadow and highlights. You can simulate them somewhat by working with Gamma and Brightness, but nearly every photo app I've used, even consumer products like Google Photos, has those adjustments now.
