I have never used any other photo management program, but since this one is free so I can't complain! It was quick and easy to download and I never get any annoying registration messages like some other free programs. I like the way I can edit my pictures as I upload them or I can leave them as is until I have time to fix them. I also like the choice to let the program fix the highlighting, shadows, color contrast and temperature for you so you don't have to fine-tune everything yourself if you don't have time. Fixing red-eye is quick and easy, as is cropping. Also there are some neat features such as color tinting and soft focus effects. The only thing I have a hard time with is the file organization, it's easier to manage the names and groups of files using Windows and refreshing Picasa. I have over a thousand photos and they are safe in picasa
