Lastly, I'd like to see an option to show each filename below the picture in the mosaic mode, vs. It would be nice if there was a way to sort pics by filename without regard for date Also, the "filter filename" function changes what it does if you hesitate for more than a couple of seconds between letters and then the next letter automatically selects (with a check mark) the first file that begins with that letter (Ex: I start typing "g" and without hitting enter, it brings up all the files that start with g then I hesitate for couple of seconds and type "a" because I want to find all files with "galadriel" - now the cursor is no longer in the file filter box, and the first file that starts with the letter A is now selected with a check mark). It appears that the sort-by-filename feature only works within files of the same date. Yet here again there are options to add multiple images on a single page, create a contact sheet or build a collage.I'm having trouble with viewing/selecting/sorting pics within folders. If you do simply want to print your images, Photo Commander has that covered too. You can create calendars, greetings cards, panoramas and slideshows, both as a conventional video file that you might burn to a CD or as a HTML file that you could upload to a website. You can save these adjustments, which is particularly useful if you have a number of images with similar faults.įinally, the create menu has options to make something more of your images than simply printing them.

There’s even a full histogram and a graduation curve where you can manually adjust the density for each of the colour components.
These include colour strength, temperature, hue, saturation and more. If you prefer to make these adjustments manually, the contrast/colour option opens a new screen with the full array of controls. For example, there are three levels you can apply to remove noise artefacts from an image. I should also mention here that the optimise option is not a one-shot affair either it’s broken down into separate elements, giving you much greater control over the result. Sorting and tagging your files is quite straightforward I also liked the idea of bookmarks in the folder tree, which makes it much easier to navigate, without constantly clicking through dozens of folders to get back to the files you’re working on. If this is too time consuming for you, the calendar option will sort them into date order at the click of a button. The idea is to make it easier to find specific files or group them into more logical sets. This view is primarily where you would sort out your images, add various tags to rate each image, give them a title or create albums. The interface is laid out quite logically, with a directory tree to the left, an adjustable thumbnail view in the centre and a preview of the current image on the right. On top of that, it can help to make more creative use of them once they’ve been sorted, which apparently is another area where we all fail miserably it seems that most of the images we take end up confined and forgotten in some obscure backup folder.Īlthough multi-faceted, the program is not overly complicated in fact, if I can manage to find my way around it without resorting to the help file, most users should be okay too. Ashampoo photo commander 12 is a multifaceted program, designed to handle most of the problems involved when trying to sort, catalogue and, to some degree, rectify any compositional errors found in your images.
