Best ashampoo software for free download

Optimize and beautify all your photos in the same folder, with just a click of the mouse.

Digital Cameras are a must have: Almost everyone has one. The problem is that the self taken pictures often don`t turn out as good as the photographer wanted them to. The photos are mostly too dark, and weak in contrast and colour.

In this way the Ashampoo Photo Optimizer is really a world sensation, which every user with a digital camera almost imperatively needs. The programme opens individual pictures and shows them in its window. A single click of the mouse is enough to optimize the photo entirely. The effect of this optimization does not fail to impress. The photos changed by the Ashampoo Photo Optimizer are livelier, brighter, lighter, sharper and have a stronger contrast. The direct before and after comparison shows precisely just how strong the optimization algorithm of the software is.

Highlights:
- Photo optimization with just a click of the mouse
- Fully automatic improvement of contrast, brightness, colour intensity, sharpness
- Picture preview
- Possibility to undo the picture optimization at any time
- The untouched original remains as a backup
- Batch processing of all pictures in one folder is possible
- Turn picture to right or left

Never Has Downloading Online Videos Been Easier
Thousands of videos have been made available via applicable online portals such as YouTube, VideU, MyVideo, ClipFish and GoogleVideo. They offer amusing fun videos, film trailers, snippets of cult movies and serious documentations. However, on the Net there is frequently a view-only policy – download not possible.

This has now been changed by the Ashampoo ClipFisher. All you need to do is to copy a video’s current http:// address from the web browser and paste it into Ashampoo ClipFisher: immediately, the cunning tool will be flexing its download muscles and starting to transfer the film to your hard drive. In this way, compiling your own little (or big, for that matter) video library is no problem at all.

Converting Online Videos to Windows Format
Of course, the programme has yet more to offer. Once downloaded, it’s possible, for instance, to play the Flash films straight away in Ashampoo ClipFisher. If you want to, you may also convert your films to WMV, the Windows standard format. When converting, Ashampoo ClipFisher will be happy to adjust the film at hand to your individual requirements.

For instance, adjusting the screen resolution while moderately curbing quality in order for the final converted film to take up less storage capacity is no problem at all. If it’s still too large, you may enter a maximum value in megabytes. Once this value has been reached, Ashampoo ClipFisher will simply break down the video file into several easy-to-handle fragments.

Highlights:
- Transfers videos from YouTube, VideU, MyVideo, ClipFish and GoogleVideo
- Saves online videos in Flash format (FLV)
- Converts films to WMV format
- Breaks down excessive-sized videos by splitting them into smaller units
- Adjusts the videos’ size and quality to your individual requirements
- Auto-aspect ratio maintains the correct proportions
- All settings may be fine-tuned manually
- Integrated player plays all vide
