-pops- Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 My son has told me about a new piece of software from the Google stable. It's a picture organiser/editor/manipulator.I've just been playing with it and, my first thought are that it could be extremely useful.It says it:Working with your picturesImport Pictures: Get pictures from a camera, scanner, or CDOrganize Pictures: Star, caption, add labels, and move photos on diskEdit Pictures: Adjust contrast, color, and apply photographic filters. Sharing your photosShare Photos: Share online with Blogger, Hello, or make a gift CDPrint Photos: Print at home or order prints and custom products onlineEmail Photos: Send pictures with Gmail, Hello, or your email program Working with Picasa's featuresPicasa Basics: Everything else: organizing, search, and moreCreate Cool Stuff: All kinds of other neat things to do with your photosBackup Files: Archive your photos on CD, DVD, or to an external driveGet it from http://www.picasa.com/Best of all - it's free!!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I have heard of this before... but why would I need it when I already have MS Paint, PSP versions 5 and 8, and Photoshop Elements 2.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Got it a couple of day ago. It looks useful. The modern hard drive is so bit that a program like this takes up relatively little room, so as far as I am concerned it's another useful tool. Particularly useful is a quick and easy slide show facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Expertec, you could ask why you have those three very similar programs installed, couldn't you :) - have a look at it first. I have those programs too but this one does different things to those - like organising and others.I've only just started using it but I keep finding extra bits that it will do which I haven't found in the others.Give it a go, you can always remove it if you don't like it - there is an un-install feature provided.

artist Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Have downloaded - I like to see what these things do................ :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuces wild Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I have used it for several months now. Nice way to organize and display your photos with the added benefit of being able to edit them.I recommend the program highly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
