Google releases Picasa 2.0
In October I wrote that "Picasa is unintuitive." Now Google has introduced an upgrade to Picasa.
Google has introduced an upgrade to its Picasa photo editing and organizing software, offering users advanced capabilities such as adding new lighting and color effects, and burning CDs. ... Picasa 2 scans stored images and sorts them by date, allows users to add labels and star ratings to favorites, and lets them keep pictures in multiple albums.
Features noted by Google on their feature tour:
- Find the pictures you forgot you had.
- Move and re-name pictures from inside Picasa.
- Use labels to tag your photos into quick groupings
- Add a star rating.
- Keep one picture in multiple albums.
- Password-protect collections.
- crop, remove red eye, fix the contrast and color, and enhance your digital pictures
- Effects turn so-so pictures into works of art. Examples: Sepia, Warmify, Add color, black and white
- Write captions that stay with the picture.
- Zoom. Pan. Tilt. Get the angle you intended.
- Send photos via email
- Send photos via Hello
- Put pictures on your own site, for free.
- Make beautiful slide shows.
- Move to any device or folder.
- Custom and standard sizes are now fit to print at home.
- Export pictures to popular photo processing websites.
- Burn to CD or DVD for archive purposes.
- Give gift CDs with slide shows.
- Create a network backup of your pictures.
- Turn your photos into a movie.
- Make a personalized desktop picture or screensaver.
- Create a poster.
- Make picture collages.
- View pictures on your TV with TiVo®.
Picasa 2 is available as a free download. I have not reviewed it yet but hope that they have made great strides beyond the first version.
