New Picasa

[☯ Sarah ☁]

I don't know if anyone has put a topic out about this before but has anyone downloaded the lastest Picasa from Google & tried it out?

I updated mine this morning & WOW it has some amazing new effects on it, it's much more like Picnik which I know a lot of people loved & is well worth checking out!

[Jie Zhou]

oooo maybe i'll give it a try. i've always been impressed with how clean and easy Picasa is to use, but having adobe lightroom, i rarely see the need to use picasa as an editor.

you don't work for google do you? :P

@scatochef LOL! No Jie Zhou, I use Picasa mostly as a photo viewer but it is a brilliant little program :)

[Sally Ings]

Sarah, I've had Picassa for ages and it automaticaaly updated itself recently. It is so easy to use and even though I have other editing software I often only use Picassa!

How do you download it if it isn't already installed on your computer?

[☯ Sarah ☁]

@hasselhotch just google Picasa & the download site comes up, make sure you download v3.9 then you get all the new bits :)

[David H.]

@sjodell Cool thank you I'll give that a whirl

Careful Picasa tends to take over your photo organisation...which is OK if that's what you want...and a pain in the but if you didný want it.

[Trina P Holub]

Be very careful. I myself use Picassa on occassion, but I don't like how it tries to manage all of my photos, and especially how it tries to compress them all for me. I never have it open long enough to figure out how to make it stop, because once it starts reading all your photos on your computer, there's no way to make it stop unless you shut 'er down. @swilde Oh just saw what you wrote...yes, it's almost like a virus...LOL

I stopped using the Picasa on the computer because of the irritating photo organization. I do use the Picasa Web Albums though to upload all my "best" photos because I like the format for viewing them online.

What the three above me said. ^^^

[Kylie Martin]

as long as they are organised in your files it doesn't change that structure, its just a pain in the bum to find what you want when it imports them all

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Guess I'll stick with iPhoto and Adobe Elements

[percy@laricy]

Picasa supports color management or not?

[Naomi]

I like the organisation, that's largely why i use it :')

[Trevor Baird]

I think picassa doesn't really change your file locations etc it just adds all your photo's into its viewing system so you can find photo's....you can undo any edit you did in picassa i.e crops etc

@salza Hello Sally i know this may sound daft i too have Picasa now could you please instruct me on how to upload a pic to 365 from picasa thank you Gerry.

[Sally Ings]

@gerry Sorry to get back to you so late Gerry. I'm not really too sure what it is you are wanting to know. What I do is once I've processed my picture I save it to a file on my computer. Then with 365 open, click on upload, click on browse find the picture I want to upload and then follow the 365 directives. I hope this answers your query.

[Gerry]

@salza thank you Sally for your return comment very much appreciated , Paul Godfrey sent me an email to explain how to upload a photo from Picasa so i am ok now its all set up thank you for commenting back to my question

[Shawna Schroeder]

I stick with ribbet and paint.net for all my editing, I have picasa but like many I dint like the photo organizng thing it does.
