Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Automatic Photo Organizer instant access to all your pictures!

Picasa makes digital photography easy, fast, and fun, with an intuitive interface that appeals to both novices and experts alike. You can enjoy your entire catalog of pictures within minutes of installation. You do not have to remember cryptic file names or confusing directory structures, instead your pictures are laid out for you visually. Just point and click on a thumbnail of your picture to view, e-mail, print, or watch a slideshow. You can even set your slideshow to your favorite MP3 music files for a complete entertainment experience!

When you install Picasa, it instantly finds and organizes all of your pictures into albums, including: jpeg, tiff, bmp, psd, gif and standard camera movie files. You can sort these albums by name, date, or size and easily move pictures between albums. In one click you can share pictures with family and friends or print them on your local printer, you can even watch a movie! If youd like professional quality prints, another click sends your picture to our photo lab for processing, then mailed directly to you.

Scroll through a timeline of all your pictures and view slideshows of your albums with the click of a button. Enhance your pictures, fix red-eye, and even crop without losing data or permanently changing your original picture - all without saving multiple copies!

Picasa makes it easy to import pictures from your digital camera. Just plug your camera in, and Picasa will do the rest. Or, use the software that came with your Photo CDor camera to download your pictures to your computer and Picasa will find and organize them automatically.

You will love the simplicity that Picasa brings to the process of importing, organizing and sharing your digital pictures.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Picasa is simple but doesn't do much like the new Memories
    Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2004
    Picasa is simple to arrange photos but there is hardly anymore ability after that. However, I think that more and more people are beginning to look for the ability to organize photos with other files like words and music. [...]
    I want software like Picasa to go beyond generic photo organizing capabilities. I'm looking to the new generation of software like Memories that can handle all sorts of multimedia and is very easy to use

    5.0 out of 5 stars Totally no brainer
    Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2003
    Verified Purchase
    Picasa has been called the iPhoto for Windows. (iPhoto is Apple's digital imaging software for Mac OS X.) The compliment highlights the program's biggest virtue: ease of use. The interface is clean and good-looking, with tools organized in an intuitive manner. While one may fault the designers for the program's lack of sophisticated editing tools (for a more complete package, try Microsoft Picture It 2002), keep in mind that this is a program for casual digital photographers who want to stay sane over organizing their pictures. Organization is what picasa is all about: sorting pictures by timeline, assigning keywords and titles, rotating and one-touch enhancing (works surprisingly well), quick e-mailing... I think Amazon's low price makes this a great buy.
    This is version 1.01. You can upgrade to the newest version, v1.5, for free on Picasa.net (not picasa.com!).

    5.0 out of 5 stars I fell in love with Picasa software in 20 seconds
    Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2004
    I do a lot of digital photography. I think Windows XP does a fine job organizing and creaing thumbnails of photos, and my transfer software from the camera works pretty well, too. But these can't compare to Picasa Version 1.6, software that works very well to organize, adjust and view collections of photos.
    I installed the trial version (full software that expires in 15 days without a serial number.) That's nice--a good way to test out a new product with the full feature set. The installation was quick, and immediately, the software allowed me to pull photos from all over my hard drive. You have a choice of lettting it get photos from the entire drive, or just from folders you choose, such as "My Documents/My Pictures"-- a nice option if you don't want to look at mail attachments or photos in other documents.
    Now the intuitive power of the Picasa package comes into play. There are auto buttons for "enhance" (quick fix), Red Eye removal, Crop and other quick fixes you usually need. This is all done on the fly, without having to put each photo into your normal image manipulation software. But...if you want to go further, it's easy enough to open up your image software of choice from Picasa. I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 for more advanced picture adjustments.
    However, generally Picasa does a pretty good job routine tasks such as red-eye reduction, so no need to go to Adobe. To do red-eye reduction, just drag your mouse over the eye, and let Picasa do it for you. Not bad results, either. Cropping is a matter of dragging the mouse to select the part of the picture you are keeping, and then click. Done.
    Another valuable feature is the ability to resize a photo. Many photos, as they come out of the camera, are too large to email or post on various places online (Ebay, blogs, for example.) To resize, all you have to do is highlight the photo, right-click, and then use the dialog box, with the very useful slider bar that resizes the picture. This is absolutely a slam-dunk. From that point you can go to "E-mail picture" and in a few keystrokes, go from transfer of a photo, to resized, to sent out in the mail. Very quick, very painless, very very cool. Even cooler--a quick setup of a webpage to share your photos. If you aren't adept at HTML or webdesign, this is helpful.
    The software is a complete steal at this price. If you are giving a digital camera as a gift, I'd throw this in to make the gift even more marvelous. I am considering getting a copy of this for everyone in our shutterbug-infested family. Absolutely great software.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Picasa Blows Off Consumer
    Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2006
    Picasa is the best graphics editing software I have found, and I have researched the possibilities pretty thoroughly.

    I had a few basic questions I asked Picasa techs to answer 1) how to delete images quickly, 2) how to tell the difference between thumbnails and say 640x480 pixels, 3) how to fast edit colors and 4) hot to develop "frames" or windows for segregating images chronologically. (NB: I have 8000 images from 22 years in the foreign service taken all over the world and want to put together a series of cd's. post on Kodak and PhotoShow, etc.

    Picasa gave me a machine reply which said, "Go to our 'help' groups." Well, that means wading through encyclopedia-size messages hoping that someone, somewhere, had asked the same questions I had. Picasa's response was the very essence of "to blow off." Picasa's answer demonstrates rank arrogance and insensitivity, a response policy developed by someone totally out of sync with the American penchant to court the consumer rather than drive him away. Great product, lousy PR.

    So, I will use the internet to find a graphics artist familiar with Picasa who is willing to provide advice for a fee. Picasa could do the same if it cared about establishing a mutually beneficial dialogue with consumers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome program, now FREE from Google
    Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2004
    This is a great program that makes managing hundreds of digital photos very simple and intuitive. As a power user I crave more advanced options and settings, and I have yet to find a program that does exactly what *I* want. But I never hesitate to recommend Picasa to friends and family. Especially now that Google has bought the company that makes Picasa and made it a FREE download!! Get yours at [...] and have fun :-)
