FINALLY, A BOOK OF COMPUTER RELATED INSTRUCTIONS THAT USES PLAIN ENGLISH, COUPLED WITH CLEAR ILLUSTRATIONS. AFTER FAMILIARIZING MYSELF WITH IT, I RECOMMENDED IT TO A "PICASA" NIGHT SCHOOL INSTRUCTOR ACQUAINTANCE WHO CONDUCTS A COURSE (PICASA) DESIGNED FOR SENIOR STUDENTS.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE LEARNING ACQUISITIONS I'VE EVER MADE.

Great book, easy to understand, step by step instructions and photos of all pages. And you don't have to be a senior to use this valuable book.

i downloaded this free program on to my computer, it is a fantastic program, it will pull every picture that is on your hard drive and organize it in this program. i wanted to know more on how to use this program, that is why i bought this book, and since i am a senior, i qualify..

The book is exactly what I was looking for, came very promptly, and confirms my satisfaction with Amazon.com as a source for a majority of my online purchases.

I've been using a computer for several years, but still can't understand and/or retain the technical aspects of it. While Picasa seemed very straightforward, I found the meager tutorial difficult to follow in places. This book was very helpful in getting me started with it. The information is presented in a very organized manner, and makes it easy for me to double check items elsewhere in the book.

This Visual Steps edition book teaches photo editing and picture editing online. In IT training we use it as the self-help home companion to our trainings to train seniors to post and share their pictures online.

It is very reassuring to connect people to the world like this & we have many success stories that are heartwarming.

Excellent book to teach people how to photo editing & putting pictures online. My grandparents are now connected to the world wide network & post and share their photos like it's a second nature.

SUch a wonderful feeling to see them connect & reach out & share their wisdom, experience & feelings.

This Visual Steps book improved the life of my father. Loving classic photo technology, I recently introduced my dad to digital photography. It took some convincing, since it looked so complicated. I taught him the advantages and basics of using digital photography and got him a companion book for the software we use: Picasa

Excellent step-by-step book detailing Picasa, how to edit photos & backing up photos.

My dad has found renewed passion as a photographer and it is so great to see him feel proud he can still learn so much.

This Visual Steps book is a photo software manual. THe design & layout is designed specifically for older adults & seniors.

It is a beautiful way of providing the tools for managing, editing, and displaying digital photo collections using Picasa.

It is such a joy to see people making & sharing pictures. This book is a gift of this skill.

If you're looking for a tool to teach Picasa to newcomers, this thoroughly designed visual method teaches the method of using Picasa for photo editing and publishing pictures online. A great companion for self-educating and keeping up with technology.
