Picasa2 Review Summary

Managing photos is easy thanks to the internet and one of the photo sites that reviewers generally like is Picasa2, a free software download from Google that helps you manage photos online. Reviewers like Picasa2 for its ease of use, the ease of uploading and organizing photos, and the fact that photos are easy to share with friends and family. Picasa2 is “Quick, Free, and Easy to Use” in the words of one reviewer. On the other hand, there are those who have experienced some problems with Picasa2, with one reviewer stating bluntly “Use Picasa Only if You Don’t Want to See Your Pictures”. But the overall feeling about Picasa2 is that it offers a very good place to store, share, and manage photos and it ranks among the better Photo Web Sites.

An easy to use photo workshop that makes my photos pop

APR

2007

I learned about Picasa2 from my nephew, a computer nerd. It is an easy to use photo program that I have been able to share with friends. I have used it to make albums of my travels and like the way I can upload them to the web, where they are easy for others to access. The editing of… read full review »

Mastering the Art of Photography with Picasa2

a gadget geek, a travel photographer, a Photoshop user, a PC user, a Canon digital camera owner

AUG

2007

Several years ago Google bought Picasa from the original team that developed the software. Since their purchase, the popularity of the program has grown exponentially and the capabilities of the program have expanded as well. The current version, Picasa2 is so useful that for amateur and new digital photographers, it's the only software I recommend. And best of all, it's still free! — About Picasa2 — Essentially, Picasa2 is a software program that allows you to store, organize, edit, print, share and archive your photographs. Picasa2 is what I refer to as a "jack of all trades" of… read full review »

Easy way to manage a large photograph collection as it grows

amateur photographer, have lots of family photos, Internet junkie, slightly impatient

NOV

2007

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… read full review »

Free and Easy

a PC user, want quality even if it's free

NOV

Someone complained about limited editing but hey, it's free. I use it with paint.net and its great. My mom and dad can even use it. I have more expensive software but I'd rather use this if I don't need to do something professional. I use Photoshop and Rhapsody but they both hog resources. Picasa does all the work for you and does it quickly. You can use it to get rid of duplicates in your computer without having to go through all your files. For someone like me, that can take days. I have over 5000 pics on here. I highly recommend… read full review »

NOV

I have used Picasa for many years. I really like the version 2. My favorite thing about Picasa is the ease of the organization features. Can easily change the name of folders, move pics from folder to folder, star your favorites that I use for printing pics later, easy to load pics and I have never lost pictures using Picasa I have recommended this program to all my family members for its ease of use. I do agree with other reviewers that the editing capabilities are easy to use but limited also. But for me it's great.… read full review »

NOV

2007

I have stored hundreds of photos at one time at Picasa and love that my family can view them all whenever they'd like. My camera directly emails photos to my computer, and the program it uses is very difficult for others to view. With Picasa, we just go to the site and look at pictures! I do edit my photos in a different program (the place where I order prints), so I am not sure about the quality of the printed photos from their editing. I do use and like the basic functions of this… read full review »

I discovered Picasa2 couple years ago! I have tons of pictures stored on my PC but always had a hard time finding a program to email pictures! I find the functions and features easy to use.
