Picasa Download - Locate and organise all the photos on your computer,
edit and add effects to your photos with a few simple clicks, share your
photos with others through email, prints and on the web: it’s fast, easy and
free. Picasa organises your entire collection while you watch, scanning the
images on your computer and automatically sorting them by date. Want to
clean up messy folders and move pictures around on your computer's hard
drive? Simply drag and drop pictures from one folder in Picasa to another.
Picasa will make the change permanent after double-checking with you. Want
to change a picture's filename from 671056398a.jpg to Lisa.jpg? In Picasa,
it only takes seconds to re-name one picture or a group of pictures. Use the
"Albums" collection to tag your photos into quick groupings inside Picasa.
Viewing and sharing the pictures you grouped under an album is easy – they
make great slideshows and movies or you can email them to friends. Give a
gold star to any photo you love: it turns your favourites into visual
standouts at a glance. Picasa even has a star search that reduces your
entire photo collection to the best of the best in less than a second.
Picasa creates a new “instance” of each photo you label without taking up
more space on your computer, so you can put the same picture into multiple
albums. Have photos you want to keep to yourself? You can add passwords to
any of your Picasa collections (this does not affect which pictures you and
others can see on your computer’s hard drive). It supports all major graphic
formats (BMP, JPEG, JPEG 2000, animated GIF, PNG, PCX, TIFF, WMF, ICO and
TGA)
