I have about five or six photo editing programs on my computer including Adobe Photoshop Elements, and none is as easy to use as Picasa2, nor accomplishes the tasks as well. After about a half hour of working with PhotoShop it usually crashes my computer as it uses so much resources. I seldom use these other programs and only when I want to do more than Picasa2 does.

I cannot recommend this product enough. It will find and organize all the photographs on your computer. Editing is much, much easier than any other photo software I have ever used. It will download images from your camera much more easily than the software that came with your camera. It is amazing for old and faded images that have been scanned, as I have discovered. I owe much of the credit for the editing of the images that I have uploaded to Flickr and My Picasa Web Albums to Picasa. You have nothing to lose trying it as it is FREE!

You can create all sorts of cute things such as this collage HERE with just the click of the “create” tab. With that same “create” tab you can merge photos together such as HERE. It has a fabulous screensaver which I have just discovered and it creates wonderful slide shows with music, or CDs DVDs with slide shows too, or just to give or backup or photos. Everything is done with just a “CLICK” of a button.

I have never found anyone to write anything bad about the software. Although it is designed for amateurs, even professionals use it, as it is so much faster than their professional software. It is amazing that Google gives it away for free, but they also give away a lot of other good stuff too, such as email, calendars. I use Google for my homepage and on it shows slides of my photos from Picasa2.
