Ashampoo Photo Optimizer is a program designed to help you make several adjustments to your image files. It can be easily handled, even by less experienced individuals.
The interface of the application is clean and intuitive. Thanks to the Explorer-based layout, you can easily locate and select photographs for processing. Working with multiple items at the same time is possible.
So, Ashampoo Photo Optimizer allows you to mirror, rotate and crop the pictures, adjust the color levels, remove the red eye effect and apply watermarks.
But you can also apply several effects, such as blur, sharpen, outline, reduce noise, sepia, invert and grayscale, as well as zoom in and out. Plus, you can switch to full screen mode, use the undo function and set the app to automatically optimize the image.
From the 'Settings' area you can set the app to rotate and mirror the photographs based on the EXIF orientation, preserve the original file dates and metadata during save operations, as well as invert the mouse wheel zoom and use the alphanumeric sorting mode in the file list.
The graphic editing app requires a high amount of system resources, includes user documentation and supports multiple languages for the interface. We have not come across any issues during our tests; Ashampoo Photo Optimizer did not freeze, crash or pop up error dialogs.
