Picasa – For Personal Use

What is Picasa? (picasa.google.com)

 

·        It is a free software download from Google.

·        Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC.

·        Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will recognize.

·        Picasa also makes advanced editing simple by putting one-click fixes and powerful effects at your fingertips.

·        Picasa also makes it a snap to share your pictures – you can email, print photos at home, and make gift CDs.

·        And with the new Web Albums feature, you can upload your photos to the web with just one click.
