Ashampoo starts 2011 with a hard to refuse offer: a package of three programs, completely free of charge. The bundle includes an optimization application for your system, their famous Burning Studio suite and photo organizer, Photo Commander.

The three programs are offered by Ashampoo through Softpedia with no strings attached. The only requirement to benefit from their full power is to register with the German company in order to receive the license code via email.

Burning Studio Advanced 2010, WinOptimizer and Photo Commander make for more than $100 worth of software. Although these are not the latest versions of the applications, you’ll notice that there aren’t drastic differences and their relevance has not faded with the release of the new editions.

The capabilities of Ashampoo Burning Studio Advanced 2010 include support for Blu-ray discs, allowing you to use this type of storage media for data backup and restore operations. It sports an audio CD ripper to get your music to either a lighter format such as MP3 or to a heavier, more qualitative file type, like WAV.

Of course, the application rises to its name and features all the disc-burning options a user would need: burn DVD, VCD, S-VCD, adjust write speed, create Audio CDs from WAV, MP3, FLAC, WMA or OGG, erase re-writeable discs (CD, DVD or BD).

Photo Commander is an all-in-one application for organizing, editing, sharing and presenting photo collections. It allows you to create web albums from your pictures, which can be posted online.

The app can be used to make professional-looking slideshows complete with a wide array of transition effects. Editing instruments are also included in Photo Commander; thus, you can add text bubbles, draw shapes, cut areas of the image, etc.

WinOptimizer’s functionality can be inferred from the name of the tool itself. It represents a collection of various instruments designed to help your system perform better and maintain the improvement.

The set of modules available let you clean the system of unnecessary data and claim disk space for more important files, defragment the drives for faster file access, handle the processes that load with the operating system, securely delete important data beyond recovery or assess the system’s state by viewing the details on installed hardware and software as well as benchmark and compare its performance.
