Picasa
best photo Editing software
What's new in Picasa 3
The latest version of Picasa includes sharing on Google+, including
sharing of name tags. You'll enjoy the range of new effects that have
been added, allowing you to quickly make stylish changes to your photos.
Side by side editing means you can keep an original copy of your photo
for reference while you're making experiementing with effects and
levels.
What's inside Picasa
Google Picasa features enriching options to
manage, edit, and show off your photos in an even more comfortable way, both offline and online – thanks to the
Picasa Web Album syncing tool.
It includes Picasa Photo Viewer,
which you can configure to replace the original Windows default image
viewer. It offers more tools and displays photos on a much nicer
interface when viewing them directly in Windows Explorer, so when Picasa
asks you if you want to use it, don't hesitate!
How Picasa works
Picasa displays all your indexed photos in a handy folder structure.
You can let the program scan the whole drive in search for pictures or
select specific directories. A double click on any image will display it
in full screen and let you access to a handful of
basic editing tools: cropping, straightening, adjusting color and light or fixing red eye, among others.
The possibilities are endless
But Picasa is not only about viewing and fixing images. You can also
give free rein to your imagination with its tools to create posters,
collages, screensavers and even movies. The greatest thing about these
tools is not only the fact that they give you the ability to create
something unique and original with your photos; it's also that they're
surprisingly easy to use, and don't require any tech abilities or photo
editing skills at all.
Conclusion
The all-new Picasa has successfully completed what seemed a difficult task: improving a software app that was already very good.
