dotTech Advice
I have never really been much of a photo guy so I can’t rightfully give proper advice about Ashampoo Photo Commander 8. I can say, however, Ashampoo Photo Commander has a lot of photo-related features bundled into one soft. From editing to converting to effects to renaming slideshows to collages to burning on CD/DVD to organizing to optimizing and everything in between, if you name it Ashampoo Photo Commander 8 has some form of it.
Okay, okay — Ashampoo Photo Commander 8 doesn’t have everything. Obviously my above statement is an hyperbole but I think you get my point: If you work with photos/images a lot, Ashampoo Photo Commander 8 is definitely worth looking at.
