Most competitors just default to dark, which I recommend for photo editing. During installation, the software asks if you want a light or dark interface.

You can try out the software with a free trial version that lasts 40 days, if you are willing to register your email address. It runs on Windows 7 through Windows 10 ($139.00 at Microsoft Store) (Opens in a new window) and the installer file is a 322MB download-reasonable, as far as photo editing software goes. That's less than the market-leading Adobe Photoshop Elements, but it's hardly bargain-basement pricing. Photo Commander is available as a direct download from Ashampoo for $59.99. Photo Commander also offers fewer advanced tools than you'll find in competing products such as Corel PaintShop Pro ($99.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) and ACDSee Ultimate. The company's Photo Commander provides a decent toolset of image corrections and enhancements, but its interface is much less polished than those of competitors like our Editors' Choice photo software for enthusiasts, Adobe Photoshop Elements.
