The popular Zoner is a step up in terms of capabilities, but that means that by necessity it's more complicated & a bit harder to use. IMHO it's a good starter app for people who don't store their pictures online, and aren't really into photo editing - it helps you keep track of your photos, lets you do some minor editing if you want or need, & lets you do stuff like print a simple card using your picture.

Save | CancelĪshampoo Photo Commander is an easy to use image cataloging app with some basic editing & annotation features. I like the fact that Ashampoo make available and always allow buyers to download software no matter what version or how long ago it was bought. I removed them both, but I will keep Commander 12 and maybe buy it if Ashampoo offer me a more generous UPGRADE price from 'paid for' version 11. Commander version 11 used to freeze on me when I tried to open extra large files while Zoner 16 had that annoying 'upgrade to 17' app loading on computer startup like a trojan. With the discounts offered on both, Ashampoo Photo Commander 12 comes out a lot cheaper than Zoner 17.

Most EPS files also show up in preview as well as thumbnail (on Zoner 16 EPS files will show up in thumbnails but not always in the larger PREVIEW mode). Commander 12 also shows NEF (Nikon RAW) files. I have hundreds of PNG files that needs sorted and find this a great help. This distinguishes it from PNG files with solid white background. One big advantage Photo Commander 12 has over Zoner Photo Studio 16 (i don't have 17) is that the PNG transparent files show up with the 'transparent' grey/white chequered background.
