Nice program which does what it claims with no hassle. However this is NOT the last version of the program (v5).
Looks like most developers here give us their outdated software only, in the hope we upgrade (and give them some money of course) to the last version of their programs.
That's no good because this was not the original mission on the basis of which this marvellous website was launched a few years ago.

This is a well rounded and simple to use photo editor. Yes the interface is intuitive (to me) and the work flow is efficient and natural. It has all the correction tools that most home photographers would want. A couple of adjustments to contrast and color balance when necessary, everything to make your photos look immeasurably better.

Personally I use Photoshop as I have a background in professional photography. However, I will be honest when I say that I will be keeping this handy. There are times when I take a quick photo and just want to clean it up a little before forwarding it to someone (family or friend). In cases like that it's hardly worth firing up Photoshop.

Now I must also add that one needs to be careful when editing JPG photos. JPEGs are lossy... since they are compressed some of the image quality is lost. As a result, I always stress NOT to save the edited image in the same JPEG format since if you want to make more adjustments later you will be constantly degrading the image. Instead, save the edited image in a non-lossy format like PNG (actually your best choice IMHO)

Happy editing all. This is most definitely a keeper.

It is ridiculously easy to unsubscribe from all Ashampoo notices!!!
Just go to Settings on your account and UNCHECK the ones you do not want to receive! My account page even lists at the bottom "Unsubscription from the Ashampoo service letters: 01/15/2013 12:23". The unsubscription works very well. You do have to do this each time you install a new Ashampoo program, but I think it is perfectly reasonable for them to offer you the opportunity to receive deal notices! It only takes a second to say no. I believe there is a link to unsubscribe at the bottom of every notice. On your accounts page you can unsubscribe to all of them.

This is a nice program. It works great for touching up pictures with the added benefit that some times will not only improve the quality of your image but also reduce it's size.

MY only question is why version 4.0 when version 5.0 is available? I greatly appreciate the offer but if I am going have to deal with this publisher's email registration requirement and then have to receive their email offers from them, I want to at least receive the latest program. Thank you for this offer but I will pass.
