Installed and registered "the Ashampoo Way" without problems on a Win 8.1.2 Pro 64 bit system.

A German company with all legal information. And a company with a strong marketing. Depends on you, if you like it...

First starts a "Welcome" screen. Not needed, really - but here you can change the language, disable the so called service channel, which informs you about updates and from this screen you can go the the MyAshampoo world with all the free and paid offers.

I don't want to visit the Asampoo world and "start the converter".

You add file(s) and then you can resizes (without any options to the resize algorithm - no info either), you can add a pictures as watermark (no self defined texts, size, transparency or place), autocorrect or do some funny things like "swap RGB order".

After conversion you cannot view the picture from the program, you have to go to the output directory by yourself. That' not so good...

The auto correction is moderate and the software itself...

I'll try to find some nice words. It is a working, but more than simple photo tool with very limited options, IMHO just made to make something quick and dirty to promote the Ashampoo Name.

It does, what it claims.

I really don't need such a software. Uninstalled via reboot.

The software installs the following into your PC compulsorily, without notifying you first or asking you for permission.

• CleverReach.com.lnk > into your PC Desktop size is 2KB
• is-9Q1UQ.tmpCleverReach.com.ico > into your C:\Documents and Settings\(your username)\Local Settings\Temp
Size is 287KB

They are easily deleted.
The link properties point towards C:\Windows\System32 but I cannot find anything related yet.

(However, I am skeptical of it converting a JPG to RAW)

Two photos tested were resized very well. So it does what it says.
Thanks to GOTD and Ashampoo.

Free alternative - ImBatch - the most advanced batch image processing I ever seen and still in development. New versions with new batch tasks available almost every month.

Ashampoo's tool, however, may be easier to use. I will try it too.
Thanks for the giveaway

This is some kind of a batch picute converter. Besides that it not an image viewer.
I have been using IrfanView and Faststone Image Viewer for years for this kind of job. Never failed me.
Both viewing and converting. This is just ok.

Oh Dear, Wait for all the Ashampoo Spam accusations.

Just for your Info. They do not Spam they send you Adverts for another of their Products, which you can prevent if you wish.
