I am Pablo Picasa

Is anyone else using Picasa to manage their digital photos? I LOVE it. In fact I love it even more since I upgraded to Picasa 3. The Redeye Removal has improved dramatically. Now instead of having to select the eyes, Picasa automatically selects the red eye for you. All you have to do is make sure it looks okay and then click Apply. Easy! They also added a new tool that I just think is the grooviest tool ever! It’s called Retouch and it removes zits! It is really easy to use and the result is fantastic. I wish Clearasil worked as good. All you have to do is set the brush size to equal the size of your blemish and then left click. The zit immediately disappears! You left click again and the change is made permanent. Sometimes if the zit is close to the side of your face or near your hairline, the fill isn’t quite right so instead of clicking to accept the change, you just move your mouse around until the right fill color appears and then you left click to accept. It seems to me this is just like the clone tool in Photoshop, just dumbed down for us regular folks. The other great thing Google added is you can now edit a picture you posted on Picasa Web Albums, retouch it in Picasa and then sync it back to Picasa Web Albums. This is perfect for all those photos that I posted prior to the retouch tool. Yes, I am going through my Web albums and removing zits. I feel like God. Or a Superhero… Super Complexion Woman to the Rescue! Look out zits! You will soon be blasted to kingdom come!

    Can you use the Picasa editor to make collages? If so, I might go up on Steve’s computer and check it out. Neither of us have Photoshop on our machines now.
