“Picasa includes all the tools you’d expect from an
easy-to-use photo editing program. These include cropping, red-eye
editing, straighten images, and so on. It also makes all these
functions easy to use, including the somewhat fancier ones such as
adding tints or turning a color image into black and white or
sepia.“It also has features that are somewhat unusual in photo
programs. For example, rather than moving your photos to another,
self-selected directory it keeps the images in the directory you
choose. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had to track down
photos from where Adobe has decided to hide them or ended up
creating duplicate images. With Picasa, that’s not an issue.”
