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. One snow scene yielded an overly contrasty result after auto-optimization in my testing, however. It didn't help much on a shot with a shadowed subject and bright background. Photo Commander offers sub-options for just fixing color, contrast, skin, or noise. I always like to try a program's automatic image correction first.
There's no face-recognition or people-tagging option, either.Īdjusting Photos The Quick Fix mode has buttons for many of the commonly needed corrections and effects. Photo Commander can identify a photo's location from embedded GPS data, which most smartphones include in a photo's metadata. After doing so, you can search based on that text in the center Home view panel. Organizing In Home view, at the bottom of the right-side photo preview window are options that let you star-rate, keyword-tag, and title your photo. Frankly, I think using a consistent program icon is more helpful, but this is hardly a deal-breaker. One final interface note: Photo Commander doesn't use its own icon in its Taskbar entry, but rather a tiny thumbnail of the photo you're editing. Regarding performance, I noticed that the program felt slow even on my fast SSD-based PC, especially when navigating among large folders of images. One nice thing is that you don't have to import to edit in Photo Commander-you can simply pick an image from the folder to start. And it couldn't import raw image files from a newish Nikon D3400. The program supports raw camera files, but its raw conversion engine didn't yield as much detail as Capture One (which delivers the most detail) or Lightroom. There's no Import button on the home screen, but the File menu offers an Import/Scan choice.
There's no 1:1 (or 100 percent viewing) button, but there is a right-click option for it. To zoom in on and out of a photo you can simply spin the mouse wheel, which makes things easy. Undo and Redo arrows are joined by an Undo All Actions button for when you want to start over. This is a strange arrangement: Most programs with modes have them always showing. To get back to the folder view, you can hit the left-most button, Home. Most programs have that last one in the first position, since that's usually how you start. They are Common, Quick-Fix, Objects, Create, and Organize. When you're viewing a photo, the program's modes show up at the top. It's not the slickest interface, and some elements were too small on the 4K monitor of my Asus Z240IC all-in-one test desktop. Once you're viewing a photo, the program shows large mode selections below the small standard menu entries across the top left. You can resize the three panels horizontally, and Folder can switch to When, Where, and Filing views. If you double-click an image in the center, it enlarges to take up most of the program window. Here, the interface is divided into three areas, with a left-side Folder panel, Content in the middle, and Preview on the right. You start out in a disk folder tree view. It's not hard to find what you need, however. Interface and Import Photo Commander's interface is on the cluttered, cobbled-together side.
As with most photo workflow applications, you also get a welcome message explaining the interface sections. You also get a choice of 27 languages, including two flavors of Chinese. Most competitors just default to dark, which I recommend for photo editing.

It runs on Windows 7 through Windows 10 and the installer file is a 322MB download-reasonable, as far as photo editing software goes. That's less than the market-leading Adobe Photoshop Elements, but it's hardly bargain-basement pricing. Pricing and Starting Up Photo Commander is available as a direct download from Ashampoo for $59.99.

Photo Commander also offers fewer advanced tools than you'll find in competing products such as Corel PaintShop Pro and ACDSee Ultimate. The company's Photo Commander provides a decent toolset of image corrections and enhancements, but its interface is much less polished than those of competitors like our Editors' Choice photo software for enthusiasts, Adobe Photoshop Elements.
