When it comes to photo viewers there are many alternatives to choose from. Picasa has always been a favorite here at Softonic, and this new version has made it our absolute first choice.
Organize your photos
The brand-new Google Picasa keeps the same structure at the interface as in previous versions, but features new enriching options for managing, editing, and display of your photos in an even more comfortable way, both offline as offline - thanks to the Picasa web album synchronization tool.
Picasa displays all your indexed photos in a convenient folder structure. You can let the program scan through the whole drive in search for pictures or select specific directories. By double-clicking on an image will appear in full screen and you get access to a handful of basic editing tools: including cropping, straightening, color and light adjustment or correction of red eyes.
new Features
The latest version of Picasa includes a couple of new exciting features: face detection and geo tagging. The former means that Picasa can now scan through your library, recognize and extract people's faces and then let you add the name. It takes a while to get started with the process - lots of faces that will be tagged and name to be written in - but if you go to the nameless tag for the album with people, you can add new names and faces in batches and thus obtain it done much faster. As for geotagging so it is now much easier to use thanks to the embedding of Google Maps in Picasa: simply select the images you want to geotag, open Google Maps by clicking on the "Sites" button, navigate to the appropriate location, and then click OK.
We especially like Picasa image viewer, which you can configure to replace the original Windows default image viewer. It offers more tools and displays photos in a much nicer interface when you can view them directly in Windows Explorer, so do not hesitate when Picasa asks you if you want to use it!
But Picasa is not only about viewing and editing of images. You can also give your imagination free rein using its tools to create posters, collages, screensavers and even movies. The best thing about these tools is not just the fact that they make it possible for you to create something unique and original with your photos, but they are surprisingly easy to use and does not require any prior technical knowledge or skills in image editing.
conclusion
The all-new Picasa has successfully managed to implement what initially appeared to be a difficult task: improving a program that was already very good.
