Picasa: Everything to manage your photos
Picasa is an essential program for all photographers. You manage and view your pictures, edit them and share them.
To begin, you import the photos that are stored on your PC. Picasa gives you the opportunity to your scan your hard disk every time you start the software and automatically synchronize the found photos. So you never have to import manually.
Once your photos have been added to Picasa, they are classified into albums, named after the folders in which they are stored. Then you can easily reorganize the photos by simply dragging them to the place where you’d like them to be. To find your photos even better return, it is also possible to add tags, such as the location where they are taken.
Picasa is certainly not Photoshop, but you still have some simple edits, crop, adjust color, contrast enhancing, red-Eye, filters, etc.
You can also make posters, screensavers and even movies of your photos. You view this with an external and share on various platforms, such as Picasa itself, Google+ account, Blogger, etc.
