With Google+ gaining popularity at a rapid rate, Picasa (soon to be known as Google Photos) is looking like it will automatically become an easy, free choice for photo storage — especially for Android users. Will it sway you?

Google’s online image editor, Picasa, has yet again been updated. The new 3.8 version of Picasa is yet another small stride towards an all-in-one photo organization and editing suite. It includes one major new feature – integration with Picnik, an online photo editing application. But that isn’t all. Other new features make it easier than [...]

Plug your camera into your computer and it should automatically organize those pictures in such a way that you can easily find them later. This is the idea behind photo album managers, but not everyone agrees about which ones are best for the job. This is just as true on the Linux platform as any [...]

Facebook is fun and helpful. I love keeping up with people I know from far away and those that are still close. One of the great features is the ability to share photos with each other. Photos are a great tool to see what people are up to. They’re also good for seeing newer family [...]

Shankar mentioned geotagging in a post on managing photos [...]

I wrote a series of posts early last year on Google Picasa 3.0. The posts covered getting started, views, editing, special effects and exporting. That’s still an entirely valid introduction to the product, but along with the rest of the world, things have changed at Picasa. Google have, along with a plethora of other products, [...]

I am an on again and off again user of Picasa (the desktop software version, not the web albums). Everytime I keep coming back to it, I am reminded of how great the app is, why it should stay on my computer and why it should be on everyone’s computer. There are things that Google does [...]

Picasa has integrated some cool technology in the past, but facial recognition? In Picasa Web Albums, Google has integrated a newer technology that I think you’ll be amazed with at how well it works. In choosing which website to use to host my photographs, this feature may be a game-ender. Watch how it works, try [...]
