The end of fragmented disks. Really.

You probably have better things to do than worry about whether the hard disks on your Windows® computer are getting fragmented. Just install Ashampoo Magical Defrag 2. This radically improved program keeps all your computer’s hard disks defragmented. Permanently.

Overview

Use all the processor power you paid for!

Almost all modern computers have at least two processors, which are generally referred to as “cores”. Some even have four. Unfortunately, Windows often doesn’t manage your multiple cores very well, so you’re not actually getting the full multi-processor power you paid for.

Ashampoo Core Tuner enables you to use the full power of all your cores. For instant results you just need to select Auto-Optimize to optimize all the programs you are running or Boost to give more power to a single program.

You can also fine-tune individual processes, display a live view of the current workloads of all your processor cores and enhance the overall performance of your system with additional tools.

Features

• One-click Auto-Optimize intelligently assigns the load of all the programs you’re currently running to make best use of all your processor cores.
• One-click Boost does the same for individual programs. Just select the program from the list and click Boost to give it more processor power.
• Live View shows you how all your processor cores are working in real time.

Keep your Windows clean! It’s quick, it’s easy and it works.

Don’t you hate it that Windows gets slower and slower the longer you use it? One of the main reasons for this is that software is almost never uninstalled completely. Most application programs don’t provide enough information for the Windows Add/Remove Programs tool to be able to uninstall them properly. So every time you test a program and then remove it you have a little more junk left over clogging up your computer. After a while your Windows operating system is like a back yard full of rusty bicycles, old beer cans and broken bathtubs.

Ashampoo UnInstaller 3 removes programs from your system without a trace, allowing you to test software with confidence because you know it’s not going to “dirty” your computer. It makes this easy, monitoring the installation of new programs automatically and enabling you to remove them completely with a couple of clicks.

But that’s not all – the new version also comes with over a dozen equally easy-to-use tools to help you keep your Windows system as snappy and streamlined as the first day you installed it.

New user interface – easier to use than ever before

The brand-new Ashampoo UnInstaller 3 is packed with new modules and features, but the most striking change is the completely new user interface. It’s attractive and modern and it makes the program faster, easier and more fun to use than ever before. Everything is easy to find and he program guides you through all operations, with clear explanations on every step of the way.

Most users will never have to consult the help – all the information you need is displayed in the program itself where you need it and when you need it.

Overview

Does your burning software do everything but you can’t find anything? Did installing it take up several gigabytes of hard drive space and fill up your Taskbar? Ashampoo Burning Studio 8 is different. It’s compact, fast and amazingly easy to use. You just choose from a list of tasks and the software guides you through every step. And even though it has all the functions you would expect from a complete burning suite, the entire software takes up less than 85 megabytes on your hard disk.

New Label Designer

Discs labeled with felt pen scribbles were yesterday. Now you can design and print cool labels, case covers and booklets in no time. The new Label Designer comes with a stack of professional themes and it can import track and data lists directly from the disc you want to label.

Capture off-screen window content!

Ashampoo Magical Snap 2 is a screen capture tool with powerful and intuitive editing capabilities. It enables you to capture virtually anything on your screen – all or part of program windows, websites, the desktop and anything else displayed on your computer’s monitor. Then you can use the editing tools to enhance the screenshot and turn it into a really attractive image.

Interactive guides show you how to perform every operation. All features are also so simple to use that you can get results really fast. For example, the unique Mouse Tools editing tools display their options next to the mouse pointer so that you don’t have to search in menus. You have to try it to appreciate it, Mouse Tools are truly cool and make image editing amazingly easy!

Scrolling Window Capture

The latest version of the popular Ashampoo Magical Snap screen capture program introduces a radical improvement: The ability to capture all the contents of a Window, including the parts that are currently scrolled off screen. This is something that most capture programs are incapable of and it is achieved with an advanced new capture technology.

Scrolling window capture works both with the content of web browsers and the content windows of most application programs. Using it couldn’t be easier – you just select the window to capture and Ashampoo Magical Snap 2 automatically “scrolls” the window contents into a single captured image

Multiple monitor support

Another major improvement is full support for capturing images on systems with multiple monitors. Many other screen capture programs cannot do this or produce unsatisfactory results. Ashampoo Magical Snap 2 automatically identifies multi-monitor systems and captures screenshots perfectly from any monitor.

Improved image editing with new tools

The editing capabilities of the new version have also been thoroughly updated and enhanced. Now you can turn your screenshots into professional-looking images in no time.

Enhancements here include new functions (Flip, Mirror, Drop Shadow, Grayscale, Pencil), new and improved Mouse tools (Callout, Line, Highlight Area, Marker, Select, Draw Text, Arrow, Eraser), radically improved print support (DPI settings, large images, wide desktops, entire websites etc.) and new capture effects that you can apply on the fly while capturing your screenshots.

Enhanced usability and user interface

Ashampoo Magical Snap 2 is also easier to use than ever, with a much more powerful and intuitive user interface. Almost every aspect of the program has been overhauled. Improvements include better support for multiple captures, more hotkeys, better zoom and scroll features (mouse wheel, keys, cache), separate Undo/Redo for every capture, drag resize, easier configuration and much more.

Photo optimization is as simple as that: The Ashampoo Photo Optimizer 2 puts your photos in perspective with only one mouse click

Focus on your motif, press the release and record the picture: Taking photos with modern digital cameras is so easy. After having recorded the pictures, they will be transferred to and analyzed on the PC. A lot of photographers are surprised when displaying their photos on the PC for the first time: The photos are not bright enough, the colors do not shine, the degree of sharpness is not sufficient and the contrast also leaves a lot to be desired. Very often, such a result can be attributed to suboptimal settings of the camera.

But: From now on, this does not mean that you have to delete your pictures. The perfect photo is hidden under the gray surface – you only have to find it! The Ashampoo Photo Optimizer 2 can help you to save each photo – all you have to do is click with your mouse. A very strong algorithm determines the optimal settings for a picture and implements these settings automatically and without any further prompts. Even on the screen, you can see that this feature already seems to remove a shroud of fog from the pictures so that the colors are shining again, the contrasts are exact and the pictures become sharper. The photographers often experience a downright light bulb moment when watching their photos.

A direct before/after comparison of the pictures shows the extreme improvements that have been performed by the program. Thus, more and more hobby and professional photographers use this program during each new readout process of recently recorded pictures to optimize them with the help of the batch processing method.

Features

• Support of digital cameras
• Direct jump to important folders (My pictures, connected cameras, USB flash drives, etc.)
• Multiple use of the automatic optimization

Overview

No computer is properly complete without its own Office package. Office assists in the compilation of texts of all kinds, in the completion of spreadsheet calculations and in the preparation of expressive presentations. In these tasks, Microsoft Office is the generally accepted standard, as its formats are established and the functions it offers are continually required. However: many users are unable to afford the Office suite.

This is where the Ashampoo Office 2008 steps in. The program only occupies a limited amount of storage space on the hard drive, is very stable and still offers all of those Office functions which genuinely need to be used in private or in business environments. A fair price that all users can afford without problem also ensures that the Ashampoo Office 2008 is rapidly winning new friends. Its simple menu prompting and ease of use allows users of other Office solutions a problem-free switchover.

It goes without saying that the most important thing is the fact that reading and writing in the original Word, Excel and PowerPoint files without losses of content or in terms of formatting presents no problem for the Ashampoo Office 2008. That means that every user of the Ashampoo Office is able to open, modify and then save a Word file in exactly the same way as if the work had been done in Word itself.

Ashampoo Office 2008 is supplied with the word processing tool Ashampoo TextMaker, the spreadsheet program Ashampoo PlanMaker and – brand new in the current version – the presentations software Ashampoo Presentations.

Features

• Ashampoo TextMaker, PlanMaker and Presentations
• Now with PDF Export and Mailing Assistant
• Take it with you on a USB stick
