Picasa2 Reviews

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 software. If you have...

Picasa2 is another great product form Google and it is free which is inline with how Google is.
I don't recall how I ended up downloading Picasa2 but I am so glad that I did. While it is not my primary photo editor it is me easiest. Generally I download my photos to my computer and Picasa2 finds them and adds them to my collections, I have over 3000 photos and counting. Picasa2 lists them by date but you can also make folders and add captions. Picasa2 lets you do basic editing like retouching and cropping and this makes it great if you are uploading a photo to MySpace or WAYN.

I have recommended Picasa to everyone I know who takes pictures that they edit on their computers. Even if you have another editing program and love it. Picasa is quick and easy, there are no complicated instructions. It is very user friendly and self explanatory. You can do many quick and minor adjustments to you pictures and even a few more advanced edits. It even allows you to edit batches of photos at a time.

But, the best part of it is not the editing at all but the fact that it organizes all of your pictures on your computer into easy to find files. You will never have to lose another picture...

Picasa 2 is an great tool to use when trying to edit pictures. I use it on my modeling pictures and the results are always great. It is fun and easy to use. I use it on a weekly basis because of the amount of photography I need edited. I love it more than photoshop because it is easy to use and does not take as much space on my computer's hard drive.

This product has helped me to make my pictures better and I have even gotten a few more gigs because of them. I couldn't  have done that without the help of this software. I love the way i can blur out facial blemishes and other imperfections so easily....

Okay, I can't think of one bad thing to say about Picasa - I love it.  First off, it's free.  As soon as you load pictures from your camera onto your computer, it starts organizing them into a folder.  Once you go into Picasa, it's so easy to organize your photos.  Then you can email them, download them to a website to be printed, do whatever you want. 

I still can't believe they haven't charged money for this service - it's amazing.  If you haven't tried it out yet, I highly recommend you do.  You'll love it!!!

Since I became a grandmother in April, I have really appreciated the Google Picasa features. My daughter and I just post the web site on Facebook so anyone can click to see the full album or put one or two pictures on FB directly. I love the fact that I can link to my daughter's photos and i get an e-mail telling me when she updates her site. Since the pics are on the web, I can alwys show off my grandaughter to friends and family on their computer.
