Mouse Tools

Mouse Tools are one of the unique features of Ashampoo Photo Commander that you have to see in action to really appreciate. They make editing easier by displaying all the commands you need for using the tool in the image where you are working. Instead of searching in menus you just click on the self-explanatory tools. For example, there are mouse tools for adding text, arrows, callouts (text bubbles) and shapes and for removing the red-eye effect. Other mouse tools include clone (for retouching), erase, marker (a highlighter) and select/crop.

Ashampoo Photo Commander 5 FREE is also a multimedia management tool. It displays videos and plays audio tracks just as easily as it can manage your photos. Videos are displayed in the organizer with thumbnail images, just like photos. You can zoom them, play them in full-screen mode, extract screenshots, create video playlists and more.
You get all the functions of a good audio player without having to leave Photo Commander. Play and organize your audio tracks, create and store playlists and much more. Playlists can be stored in the program's own format or the universal .m3u format for export to other programs. In addition to all the operations you can perform on the individual media file types you can also create multimedia playlists, combining photos with audio and video files, which you can then display one after another like a slideshow.

Other features:
