Google have released a new version of picasa according to theGoogle Blog. Although I downloaded the original Picasa I must admit I didn’t use it much, mainly as I didn’t take the time to understand how to use it. I use paintshoppro almost exclusively for my editing and organise pictures into “albums” by storing them in directories on the disk or in my web page gallery
Interesting that the check for updates in the old version of picasa didn’t know there was a new version to download.
PS If you do download it, then read the readme.html file as it tells you want they spent time programming and the new features.
