Picasa... the new Picnik?

April 6th, 2012
My PIcasa updated itself yesterday and it seems like all of the 'Picnik features' are now on Picasa... except that I can't find the 'collage' button that I used to use on Picasa which is really annoying! Has anyone else's Picasa updated? Do you think that it's the new Picnik? Has anyone found the 'collage' button? ...opinions? :)

Is this Picasa 3 that you are talking about? My computer came with Picasa 3, but I have not yet used it.

I've never used Picasa but am really enjoying picmonkey which seems to be very much like picnik

I always assumed picassa and picnik were sister programs lol

Be careful with Picassa. I find that it likes to keep offering to compress all my photos. Plus, I've used it occasionally for some features, but it always wants to own my whole image library. It's very aggravating. If you want the next picnik, try picmonkey.

@loztsoul no they are not! Picassa is a giant PIA!

Plenty of options.... I didnt know Picnik was in picasa, I have got used to Picmonkey but I have also found Picnik in Google+ photos so all is well.
I did todays picture in Picmonkey

I've used Picassa a long time now and find I can do pretty much what I want on it, so was wondering whether to look at picmonkey or not - does anyone use both who can recommend one or the other?

@lauralatham Both do different things well. I used to use Picassa to get to Picnik, which is the only reason I had it, since it tries to take over everything, and compress ALL of your photos. Picmonkey is the new picnik, even made by the same peeps.
