New in Ashampoo Photo Commander FREE 1.0.0 (Apr 16, 2014)

  • New Highlights:
  • Many improvements in the user interface
  • New calendar mode: Display images in all selected folders in a single list, sorted by year, month and date
  • New filmstrip browser mode: Shows thumbnails as a “rolling filmstrip” below a preview window
  • New multiple folder preview: Shows contents of all selected folders in a single window, including sub-folders
  • New function to add descriptions to photos – displayed as a caption and stored in the photo, readable by other programs
  • Improved editing tools with anti-aliasing for all objects for smoother images and higher quality
  • Instant printing for single and multiple photos – just click and select Print for an instant Print dialog with preview
  • Even better interactive full-screen mode for photos and videos
  • Faster photo viewer with better zoom features
  • New, more effective method for finding duplicate photos
  • Improved resizing quality, new photo effects
  • Improvements in detail:
  • User interface and photo/media organization
  • Thumbnail previews are now generated in the background so that you can start working immediately – this is great for media folders on network drives and online and big RAW images. You can now view the contents of multiple folders in a single view, for example all the photos in “My Photos” including sub-folders. The new “Calendar View” tab displays all the images in the selected folders and sub-folders by date and time. The new Film Strip view displays thumbnails as a rolling “film strip” with a preview above it. The media database is now optimized automatically at regular intervals. Thumbnails now fade in and out smoothly when you switch between folders. Video thumbnails are now identified clearly by a video camera icon in the corner.
  • New photo captions feature
  • There is now a Description bar under the preview in Photo Commander where you can add and edit descriptions as captions. Descriptions stored by Windows Explorer and other applications are displayed here automatically – similarly, descriptions stored in photos in Photo Commander will be displayed in Windows Explorer and other applications.
  • Previews and full-screen mode
  • Better interface controls for faster and more intuitive photo/video previews with fewer clicks and better full-screen editing capabilities. Smoother transitions and better zooming with additional options. Faster switching between images in preview mode.
  • Editing and effects
  • Advanced anti-aliasing now provides smooth edges for all shapes, lines, curves and objects. Switching between editing objects is now super-fast and easy and editing is faster throughout. Images can be auto-rotated when you import them using information saved by your digital camera. New resizing technology generates much better results when you make your images bigger or smaller. Cropping photos to predefined sizes and aspect ratios is now much faster and easier.
  • Searching, renaming, sorting, wizards
  • A new technology makes finding duplicate images faster and easier than ever before. You can now sort photo files by the date they were taken on as well as by their file date. An updated Batch Rename tool enables you to change the names of multiple files with new options like lower case, upper case, remove part of the name, remove extension etc. There are similar improvements in other wizards, including Batch Process, Batch Redate (change date), Collage Tool and Calendar.
  • Printing and scanning
  • An improved Print dialog makes it easier to print one or more copies of single or multiple photos. You just click on the image, select Print and instantly get a new dialog with a preview and interactive print options including a header and footer. You can now also choose between scale and auto-crop for printing when your images don’t fit on the chosen output paper. Support for scanners has been improved across the board.
