Like always with Ashampoo.....no problems at all.
And like always after trying this version, I think I am gonna order & pay for the good version with unlimited upgrade...like I always did.
Congratulations Ashampoo...

Hi Everyone,
I downloaded and installed Ashampoo Photo Commander 11.1.8 on my AMD, Windows 7 64Bit PC with no problems, Or, Issues at all! Registration was very fast as I have an account with Ashampoo GmbH & Co for many years and have 20 some different applications from them! As soon as I entered my E-Mail Address it just asked me for my password and after that the Registration Number popped up in a window on there site and just copied it to the "Enter Registration Number" Line in opening box when the program was launched! And it was done and up and running in a few seconds. I Basically upgraded from the earlier version given away on GOTD on 08-06-14 and was version 11.
I have been using Ashampoo Photo Commander since version 7 and really like it a lot! It is not quite as complex as Photo shop etc. But, Is a lot easier to use and does a very good job on most all of my photo needs. It is also a hole lot cheaper! (o; It has a lot of nice "Auto Correct" Features that work very well and is a great program for the novice photographer and the professional as well. I have been doing professional photography for over 15 years and I don't consider my self a Pro-Professional because I learn new techniques and ways of doing things every day. (o;
Over half of all the Ashampoo software I have is life time paid registration and I will probably buy a full licenses for Ashampoo Photo Commander 11.1.8 very soon, As I think all there software is very good and well worth the asking price they ask for any of it. Every one of there programs is very easy to use and has about all of the features you could ever ask for in what ever the program is use for! Like there CD-DVD-ROM Burning utility is very good and easy to use.
As for there E-mail bombardment some users complain about? I have Never seen any problem with there e-mail notices! On average I get 2 or 3 E-mails from Ashampoo in a week! Or, 7 Days time! If I am not interested in it? One Click and its deleted! Big deal! Most of them are adds for sale news and updates on software I already have! And I like getting them! In the next few weeks I will indubitably get an E-mail for Ashampoo Photo Commander 11.1.8, To buy the full license at half price! That's when I will buy it! So, I don't understand this "Bombardment" of E-mails from Ashampoo? They have valuable information as far as I am concerned! And, Every E-mail has an option to "Stop Receiving" E-mail from Ashampoo! So, If you do not like to delete a few E-mails a week and don't want to receive them? One click and its done!
Also, When you launch one of there programs they have a box that pops up telling you about an update for that program, Or, Sale Price! There are 3 boxes on the bottom that say (Download and install now?) Or, (Remind Me Later?) Or, (No Thank You!) Click on the one you want and its done... I just do not see the problem? If you buy a full license they only tell you when there is an upgrade to the software! And I would think you would want to get that anyway right? I appreciate the notice! So, I know what is new and available, Just my 2.5 Cents! (o; NO! I do NOT work for, Or, I am NOT affiliated with Ashampoo in any way shape or form.
All and All I think Ashampoo Photo Commander 11.1.8 is a keeper and I give it 2 Thumbs up! (I Need more thumbs for this one!) (o; I thank Ashampoo GmbH & Co for releasing Ashampoo Photo Commander 11.1.8 on GOTD for FREE today! If you have a need for a good photo editing software? This is your chance to try it out for FREE! I would get it now while the offer is still ON!
As always a special thanks to everyone at GOTD for all your hard work in binging us Geeks, Great Software to Try, Test, Revue, And Use, For as long as we like for FREE! Thank You!
To everyone, Hope your having a very Happy New Year! Take Care, Always Have FUN!!! Rick D.

It's not the same ashampoo like few years ago. Now it is always trying to install some extra software similar to malware, full of ads. Than You have to register and log-in their web site and remove few default subscriptions.
This is not a good way to gain new customers.
Best regards
Adam

Have had great difficulty getting it to work on win7 64 bit. keeps freezing and controls are not all working eg flood fill or pen tool, have not tried others as it freezes within 30 seconds of tying to do anything except open a photo for viewing . have uninstalled , Not impressed at all

I did finally get it by saying I needed to reset my password. Argh thanks for the advice!

This couldn't have come at a better time for me. A relative of mine gave me an old tired and battered photograph of great sentimental value and asked me if I could clean it up. I'd tried various programs all with varying results. Today's offering was heaven sent, the results whilst not 100% perfect are as close as you can get. So a million thanks to AShampoo and GOTD. My relative was thrilled with the results.

Click on "get free key" and nothing happens. Is it supposed to open a browser window or a pop-up window? Perhaps my box is set to not display a pop-up. I've spent enough time on this, and I really don't need any more photo software. I was only going to look at it because it is free. Wouldn't buy it if I had this much trouble with a trial. Thanks for the offer, Ashampoo and GAOTD.

I use the v8 that was given way back and along with Irfan View4.35, also along with Faststone Image Viewer 4.6.
This combination never failed me in image editing and viewing.
I havn't used v8 fulltime and i downloaded this just to keep it, in case i might use in future.

But i really want to see a File Explorer being developed from Ashampoo.
Just a thought.
Anyways thank you guys for this.

Ashampoo (GmbH & Co) always has great software. I have their Burning Studio 2014 and it is fabulous!
I usually purchase all their software, but I don't have this one. THANKS!

Hi TVB? You need to follow the email link that’s how you get the code via an email, bit of a long work around be careful not to agree to their emails as you WILL be swamped with their email promotions, good luck.

Thanks for offering this again. I had the last version and lost it as well as all of my other GOTD applications when my laptop crashed and had to be refreshed. Hoping to get everything back eventually through your Daily Giveaways.

Surprisingly (to me) comprehensive image management program from Ashampoo, and an exponential improvement on earlier versions I tried some years back.

Kudos to the development team responsible for this version: a helluva lot of thought has gone into creating something which, like all the best software out there, has a multitude of talents, not all of which are evident on first encounter. What's especially noticeable is the care that has been invested in ensuring a satisfying user experience for even the downright novice: controls, menus, sub-sets and options are cleverly arranged, with plenty of in-program help readily available.

Mention should be specifically made here of the "Effects" (including line-art transformation and oil painting rendering), image manipulations which are actually sold as standalone apps by other developers yet which are no more competent than these included here by Ashampoo.

Verdict: Photo Commander 11 ain't Photoshop CS, nor does it pretend to be. But though light in operation, it's actually anything but a light-weight in terms of accomplishment and performance. There will, as ever with Ashampoo, be the irritant of up-sell screens and, unless you're using server-side spam intervention, marketing emails which you may not wish to receive (in which case, see the user control options in your Ashampoo account). But the irritation factor is brief and low compared to the enjoyment to be derived from a commercial product which has evidently been refined with care over the years.

Recommended to all, then, and especially anyone nervous of plunging into the world of digital post-processing, because as an introduction to that world -- and as software which, for many, will do just fine as the sole go-to from now on in -- today's giveaway is definitely in the must-have category. Thanks, then, to Ashampoo and to GOTD.

* NOTE: after installing, make sure that you go through the quick 'n easy step-by-step "preference setting" sequence provided by Ashampoo for this software. It's a good example of what class-act software should be, and in marked comparison to Wondershare's appalling behaviour in not only bundling an unwanted unnecessary video player into some of its image-related apps, but Wondershare's arrogant hijacking of all your file associations, too.

There are two decoders & two codecs in the 'Plugins' section. Clicking on "...Download More Plugins..." doesn't launch anything except a revolving cursor. This page, https://www.ashampoo.com/en/usd/pad/1418/multimedia-software/Ashampoo-Photo-Commander-10, suggests that there are no other plugins, though it concerns an earlier version of the software. More information about this would be helpful.
Concerning 'skins', it seems there are two, 'Dark' & 'Default'.

Thank you, to Ashampoo & GOTD, for this giveaway.

Ashampoo is a well known and respected German company with many excellent products, I have been using few of their programs for years and quite happy with that . Honestly I was going to buy this one with two other photo programs tomorrow because they gave me a good discount on them as an existing costumer, now I don't have to . Thanks Ashampoo and GOTD

This is a great program.I just updated the last version without any problem. Except for all the promotional stuff that Ashampo is noted for.
Thanks again GOTD and Ashampoo.

How the hell should we activate this Program...got stuck badly....with "GET FREE ACTIVATION KEY"....Please help

An excellent program, as many have said. It is fast to load, unlike, say, Photoshop, which takes a while. I especially appreciate the quick fix feature, which does a good job in my tests. You can select from a list of what you want to fix, (color, contrast, sharpening, etc), or let it do everything at once. There are lots of 'fun' filters and frames and whatnot if you like to dress up your photos. (I don't and didn't test them.) Overall a definite keeper.

A warning though - pay attention while installing - you need to opt out of the added installation of unnamed 'highly rated' programs. (I didn't see an opt out for the promotional emails.) Also, it will set itself as the default program for all of your media. If you don't want that, when you first run it the 'Welcome Wizard' will give you other choices.

Does anything beat Zoner? Most v16 pro is free at their site.

I purchased this over a year ago and not long after I purchased this I reset my computer back to it's factory settings. So, after re-installing the software, it won't accept my license. I've asked for help, through their support system, several times and I've been ignored. I purchased it and now I can't use it.

WARNING!! Once you activate this and get into ASHAMPOO's system you will be bombarded with notices to upgrade to version 12. I tried version 12 and I didn't like it so I stayed with version 11. That may be why they are ignoring me.

Please',please',tell me Now'...is there something I should know'?...What is the different between''...11.1.7(previous)and (today offer)11.1.8 version of Ashampoo Photo Commander 11'''??..Thou... Many ThKs..Ashampoo/GAOTD/Team. Anyone?...

Downloaded and installed with no problems on a win 7 64 AMD machine. Played with the features and got caught up in the tilt shift feature. It was so easy to use it shocked me. Liked this a lot. Will keep and will play with a lot to impress my grand babies with my mad graphics skillz. LOL this is going to be fun, I can imagine them giggling when I put a great big mustache on grandma...Thanks GAOTD and Thank you Ashampoo.

On Windows Home 7 64-bit, the install process froze when I chose options Language = English (no change), File Types = None, and Layout = Photo-Edit. Process Explorer showed it was using one CPU full-time and doing no I/O. Killed it, tried again, same thing. Tried again but leaving Layout = Manage/Organize, ran OK. Then ran Configuration|Welcome Wizard changing Layout to Photo-Edit, worked OK.

Just noticed: You can't cancel the Welcome Wizard once you reach the Step 4: Choose Layout dialog.

Haven't tried using it beyond this.

I have yet to find an Ashampoo product that not top of the line. Thanks,Ashampoo and GAOTD. I had no problems installing from start to finish.

Very good Thanks!
This ask for registration at installation time and then at first lunching.
For (System Requirements: a graphic-card with a resolution of at least 1280 x 800);
This is not completely exact as my laptop support only 1024 x 768 without that i notice any problem at all, see my desktop here [ http://i.imgur.com/Vw5jRiB.jpg ]

I've had this before on other computers and it was worthwhile. Got a strange pop-up that the software couldn't be downloaded which must have been from my anti-virus but it downloaded anyway and installed without a problem.

Hi mikeart and Martin. Thanks for the quick reply. I am still lost, cause I don't see any email-link in the options. All I get is the "Get free activation" button, and I am still stuck there. I click on the button, and... Nothing.
If you could explain exactly where I find that email-link, I might be able to proceed.
Thanks.

Others have mentioned that those that have previously installed version 11, can update within the program. Here is the routine:

1) Open your already installed version 11 of Ashampoo Photo Commander 11.

2) At the top of the window, (to the left of "help"), click on 'My Shampoo'.

3) Click on "Check for new versions, (online update)" and follow the prompts.

Installed ok (Win8x64); the program looks a little slow/sluggish (I have a decent PC, but this program still managed to use 100% of cpu (all cores) for several seconds just to apply filter to the image)

I have this program and I'm very pleased with it

Another good product by Ashampoo. Download and registered without any fail. It helped me to manage my thousands of pics. Bundled with many amazing features....it’s cool layout highly impressed me...Great experience...Recommend it to my family and friends....10/10 to this product...Thank's GAOTD for offering such mind-blowing application....

It seems impossible getting the free license key. Clicked on the button several times, but nothing happens.
English is not my first language, so I might do something wrong, though I don't think so.
TVB.

This is a nice program and worth the download if you have a need for a picture program. If you installed the previous offer on Jan 7, you don't need this. You can upgrade to this free from the program. Just be careful not to let in install version 12. Thank you GOTD team and Ashampoo GmbH & Co.

Installed and registered without problems on a Win 8.1.3 Pro 64 bit system.

A German company with all legal information as required (name, address, tax-number…).

This is Ashampoo Photo Commander 11.1.8, the company is known for promoting the latest version by giveaway for free the previous versions. The new version 12 is on the market since some month for $ 49,99.

We had had version 11 on August 6, 2014. Here are the old reviews:
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/ashampoo-photo-commander-11/

Today's version is an update from 2014/09/17. For Ashampoo a rather new one.

The software is good & well tested and Ashampoo is a company strong in marketing. Without that, they would not be a successful as they are.

If you can live with the last year version, than take this. It is an excellent and complete photo tool. There are so many test on the web, that I need not to add the 154th version.

I'll keep it, it replaces my "old" version 11, which I use quite regularly without problems.
