Features

As mentioned earlier, Picasa organizes your entire image collection; scanning the images on your computer and automatically sorting them by date. It can automatically import from USB cameras, scanners, memory card readers, and CD drives.

Picasa gives you the option of monitoring selected folders for new pics. The same feature is also extended to network drives as well.
One can add keywords or album information to the pictures or you can 'label' the pics and use it as a pointer or shortcut for the image. The label can be put in multiple albums.

In short, the 'label' works like a pointer. It's a link to the actual file. This label can be put in various albums in different locations; thus; getting rid of the tedious task of duplicating the files time and again.



The Basic Fixes section includes features to crop, straighten, and remove red-eye. Auto correction of contrast and color is also provided. The 'I'm feeling Lucky' feature automatically performs lighting and color correction.



The Tuning section allows you to fill light, highlights, shadows, and adjust color temperature.



The Effects section gives you a range of 12 effects to choose from. The effects include Sharpen, Sepia, B&W, Warmify, Film Grain, Tint, Saturation, Soft Focus, Glow, Filtered B&W, Focal B&W, and Graduated Tint.

newer versions of picasa allow to save edits we have done permanently. so the problem of edits not being shown outside the program doesnt arise. picasa rocks. but their web album service is still too primitive

hi, on ur comment that, the edits made in picasa arent shown in other programs, the idea is to export the images into a new folder once u have done the edits. this makes the edit permenant. there is an option for hierarchical folder view .

I have already installed Picasa 2 a time ago and I found it a very good program indeed. Must I uninstall this one to install 2.5 ? Thank you very much.
