Trying Picasa 3
This isn’t a review. I don’t have time to make one just yet.
But a colleague at work who is also into photography shared his experience with Picasa as a photo editor and I decided to give it a spin. I can’t find my Adobe CS3 installer and I haven’t reinstalled PaintShopPro, so this was the perfect opportunity.
Here’s the original photo:
Now, just based on five minutes of playing around with Picasa, what I do see is that it does some awesome job for basic editing. It doesn’t have as much options as Photoshop though, but that doesn’t really mean negative points does it? After all, simpler is better when it comes to some things.
Here’s what Picasa helped me come up with…
Okay. No picture. I can’t figure out how to resize a photo with the tools I currentl have and the edited photo is 7.5MB big. The WP uploader is only allowing upto 7. Grrr. I can figure this out, but I have no time just now. Sorry.
I will continue with a proper Picasa review though. Someday. 🙂
In the meantime, let me just introduce you to my SMEs – Subject Matter Experts. They are the go-to personnel for technical concerns, highly proficient on all the products we support. They were hanging about, just in time for the weekly call we have with the clients, just like what we had this morning.
Anyhoo. I gotta run.
Have you tried Picasa? What do you think of it?
