If you’ve spent any time here on the Blog or at the TeachMeToShoot website you know I am a fan of Picasa. This wonderfully simple, yet powerful, image management and editing software sould be part of every Windows user’s toolbox. Sorry MAC folks no Picasa, but then you’ve got iPhoto!

In late April of this year Picasa v2.7 was released. It incorporated a new RAW processing engine with better color conversions. They also reworked the color engine for the Tuning fixes. It now has better support for Vista. The more I use it the more I’m impressed.

Since Picasa ties in with Google Albums and Blogger you can easily send images to either of these services. Makes it real easy to share photos with family and friends. And you can put individual images or full slideshows on your Blogger blog via Google Albums.

If you’ve never tried it you can go grab it from Google as part of their Google Pack. If you’re so inclined, you may want to download other parts of the Google Pack to make your computing life easier.
