Photo Commander from Ashampoo: some of you know it, some may have only heard of its abilities others. Regardless of the case, our deal is fairly simple: we have 10 licenses to give away for this application, and to get one you have to show us you can put the program to good use.

To achieve this, you can drop several lines in the comments section of our review. The text has to be relevant to the software. In other words, anything relating to Ashampoo Photo Commander, be it good or bad, makes for a perfect fit.

If you want to express your opinion in a video, feel free to do so, but remember to let us know of your project in the comments. Winners will be those who come up with the most pertinent content.

For those unaware of Photo Commander’s abilities, the application is an all-in-one suite for handling your photo collections. It is designed not only to help you organize the pictures, but also to optimize and edit them as well as create beautiful presentations.

Tagging is a new feature in the latest version, which allows easier grouping of the images based on the same keyword. Thus you will be able to find all the items sharing the same tag easily and effortless.

Batch processing is also listed among the highlights of the application. These functions allow you to make brief corrections such as modifying the contrast or brightness levels to multiple items at once. The set of batch jobs you can start with the application covers conversion and file renaming tasks as well.

Ashampoo Photo Commander makes for a good instrument to bind photos into collages or to create slideshows with background music. Additional possibilities cover making custom calendars featuring your personal pictures, or HTML albums, greeting cards or photo mixes.

Editing and optimization functions in the program come in handy if you want to adjust the pictures so that they look the way you want them. Contrast, colors, effects, red-eye removal, applying speech bubbles or resizing are all available in the menus.

Ashampoo Photo Commander ($49.99) is a complex suite bent on giving you the right instruments to manage images. It can also clean collections of duplicate data as well as burn the projects to disc.

If the set of features haven’t convinced you yet, the application can be taken for a spin for at least 10 days, with the possibility to extend it with another 30. During the evaluation period the program will work at full capacity, with no functions cut off.

NOTE: The giveaway for Ashampoo Photo Commander has ended. The winners were selected based on their comments for both this article as well as the program's review.
