The free and effective Picasa Photo Editor is useful free software for photo lovers. It works in various ways as an image organizer and browser for managing and editing digital photos. It is accessible and intended for beginners. Picasa photo editing tools are easy to use to enhance images, remove red-eye and correct contrast and color. Although Picasa has been suspended, is Picasa still available? Although Picasa is now discontinued, it is still available for download and offline use. Picasa was founded in 2002 by Lifescape. In July 2004, Google bought Picasa and started offering it as a free app. However, in February 2016, Google announced that support for Picasa Desktop and Web Albums would end. Picasa Web Albums, an add-on service, closed in May (function () {(‘review-app-page-desktop’);}); However, Picasa is still available and still works where it is already installed. It is fully compatible with Windows 10, although no new updates will be made. However, Picasa software no longer works online, so you will not be able to add or sync albums or singles available for Mac. Picasa Options As an alternative to Picasa, Google recommends that you use their Google Photos service to create albums, share photos, edit photos, and search for your photos. There are other alternatives to Picasa. For a simple photo organizer, Fotobounce works well, even if the interface is not very user-friendly. FastStone Image Viewer is also an image editor, although it does not have the best editing features in Picasa. Ribbet Photo Editor offers intuitive photo editing services on platforms. IrfanView provides robust image display and editing (and batch editing) of photos, while ACDSee is an image organizer, viewer and image editor. For those who want more powerful photo editing, Adobe Photoshop is one of the most advanced and popular image editors in the world. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is meanwhile simpler and easier to use, but it still has advanced tools. What can I do with Picasa? Downloading and installing Picasa is easy with Windows Setup. When the app launches, users can choose where Picasa imports photos from their computer: choose to search only My Documents, My Photos and Desktops, or search the entire computer. You can also sign in now to use Picasa Photo Viewer to view photos directly from Windows Explorer. The browser can open different file types, including .jpg, .bmp, .gif, .png, .tga, .tif and .TIFF, .webp and .raw extensions. Picasa also lets you select the device and folders you want to scan, and you can sync automatically every time you open the software. You do not need to import new photos manually. Once your photos have been added to Picasa, they are organized into albums displayed in folders with the same name from which they were taken. You can rearrange photos and move them from one place to another by simply dragging and dropping. Picasa also lets you add tags to your photos so you can easily sort them, including where your photos were taken (even if they have to be imported manually these days). You can also tag people in photos to make them easy to find. Picasa’s interface is pretty basic and now it looks pretty boring and old fashioned. You can change how photos are displayed and easilyswitch from the library view to the edit view (in the View menu). Tabs in the interface distinguish different projects from the library and records. Quick, efficient and easy editing Picasa is not specialized editing software, but it does offer an interesting array of features that you can use for basic editing, either image by image, side by side or in groups. Improvements include cropping, straightening, automatic adjustment of light, color and contrast, sharpening and red-eye correction. You can also use the Fun and Useful Image Processing options to apply filters. There are many fun filters available, all of which are fully customizable and have made our photos look pretty cool. Picasa is extremely easy to use for photo editing and tips appear when you hover over icons, while for more complex tools such as red-eye removal and retouching, complete instructions appear in the toolbar on the left side of the screen. Beginners need to find a breeze to take nicely enhanced photos. Other features are built into Picasa, so you can use your photos to create posters, collages, screensavers and videos. With a hint of Picasa’s age, you can even create a gift CD by selecting images on the disc and burning to a recordable disc. We liked Picasa’s intuitive function when we created creative projects. The program provides instructions that are easy to follow, and we were able to quickly compose a video of our photos with audio and basic transitions. We liked that it was easy to resize the video and adjust the length of the video to the sound. Finally, Picasa also includes many useful options for finding duplicates and blank albums and compressing photo editing software. Picasa is perfect for organizing your photo albums, retouching photos first, and creating fun projects like videos and collages. In addition to being free, the great thing about Picasa is that it is comprehensive and accessible. It does not offer many advanced settings, but the editing tool is easy to use and is fully customizable for users who want some flexibility. The interface is intuitive and provides instant access to all options in the program. Less experienced users get extensive help built into the software so that they can better understand its features and how they can use them.
