Ashampoo Illuminator, by ashampoo GmbH & Co. KG, is a powerful program for working with all kinds of graphics images. And really, it's much more than just a single program -- it's really multiple programs in one, neat package. Why do I say that? Because it can do so much. First of all, you can use it to find graphics images all over your computer. It provides a wonderful way to consolidate all of your images and then gives you great ways to use them. It does this through a series of "wizards" that make the program a real powerhouse. For example, the Wallpaper Wizard will take your favorite pictures and turn them into great wallpaper for your Windows desktop. There's also a Conversion Wizard that can quickly convert large numbers of images from one graphics format to another. Very slick!
Ashampoo Illuminator doesn't stop there, however, but gives you lots more tools for working with images. One of my favorites is called the "SeeYa! Wizard" and it compiles pictures you select into a slide show that's self-executing. These files can be easily sent by email. What a cool way to share pictures with family and friends. And if that weren't enough, there's also a "Slideshow Wizard" that helps you to build professional-looking slideshows. If you'd like to create your own screen saver, you can do that as well with the screen saver wizard. Other wizards make it easy to burn your images to CD, email them to friends and family, do screen captures, and print our you pictures.
Ashampoo Illuminator, by ashampoo GmbH & Co. KG, is a wonderful program for anyone who has a large number of graphics images. The program gives you a variety of ways to utilizes graphics and pictures and it makes it easy to do. Create your own wallpaper, slideshows, and more.
