Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / December 2006Picasa - Photo Organizing Tool from Google
Hi all Check the latest picasa from Google. It has been updated with some cool fun features http://updatedpicasa.googlepages.com/Picasa.htm thanks > Hi all > Check the latest picasa from Google.

I haven't actually used it, but if you look at http://picasa.google.com/features/index.html it appears that the photos are organised by folder.

YES, The newest version can als organize your pictures in an explorer-view. So the same as your folders on your H.D. So now there is NO excuse to use Picasa. AND : from within Picasa you can easily export your pictures to a webpage with your Gmail-account ; 250 Mb free space There you can create several Albums (Private or Public) and from those Albums you can send an (very nice !) email to your friends and invite them to visit your album(s) Come and see : http://picasaweb.google.nl/rc.weekhout/Macro02 -=Rob > So now there is NO excuse to use Picasa. Excellent. I wasn't looking for an excuse not to use it anyway. > I agree that it has some "cool fun features" but unless someone knows > of a way to view image collections by normal folder organization > rather than what seems to be a by-date-shot-ONLY sorting option...it > would drive me crazy. FWIW, I I rejected it for my own use for laregly the same reason. Others too, to be sure - like the fact that edits were not made to the file unless you specifically "exported" them, and the non-standard feel to the UI on Windows (scroll bars in particular). After reading "The DAM Book", by Peter Krogh, I've had a complete change of perspective on the value of using folders to organize photos, and the value of having on-destructive edits. Unless they've made some pretty major upgrades to Picase in this latest version, I think I'd *still* reject it, but it would be for other reasons this time (mostly relating to RAW processing, IPTC, and batch processing). --------------- Marc Sabatella marc@outsideshore.com Music, art, & educational materials Featuring "A Jazz Improvisation Primer" http://www.outsideshore.com/ > Hi all > Check the latest picasa from Google.

It has a fakey feel to it, with all the syntax / grammar errors, eg.: "But it does more than jus organising your photo" "Edit and save photos with simple mouse click." "Isn't cool?" Doesn't look right to me. Hein > Hi all > Check the latest picasa from Google. It has been updated with some cool > fun features Get Picasa from picasa.google.com, not a secondary source.

That kinda what I thought, but the site referenced in the OP is registered to Google according to ANIC. <shrug> Signaturejer email reply - I am not a 'ten' >>> Hi all >>> Check the latest picasa from Google. It has been updated with some [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > That kinda what I thought, but the site referenced in the OP is > registered to Google according to ANIC. <shrug> You need to look further than just the domain name. The domain name is the last word before the suffix (whatever.domain.suffix). Anything prior to the domain is merely a page or site name within the domain and may not have anything to do with the owner of the domain beyond hosting. The "googlepages.com" domain is a webpage creation site owned by Google, however, anyone can create a page on their site, just like a Yahoo site, and put viruses, trojans, or whatever they want in apps for people to download. The site should not to be trusted since it is in no way affiliated with Google, even if any software on the site is legit because these sites often use referrals and ads, and along with free hits from people who visit their site after spamming newsgroups, they make ad money and should be shunned for that reason. Picasa has its own website created by Google personnel and there is no reason to get it anywhere else: http://picasa.google.com/ SignatureHappy Holidays! >>>> Hi all >>>> Check the latest picasa from Google.

Thanks. Signaturejer email reply - I am not a 'ten' >>>> Hi all >>>> Check the latest picasa from Google. It has been updated with some cool [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > http://picasa.google.com/ Domain names can be quite confusing. For instance: www.siye.co.uk appears to be a site in the United Kingdom, but a lookup on it, and find it is served from Houston, Tx. Sigh. >>>>> Hi all >>>>> Check the latest picasa from Google.

That's weird, I trace that Webair network segment to Jericho, NY. Signaturejer email reply - I am not a 'ten' >>>>>> Hi all >>>>>> Check the latest picasa from Google.

Probably a good idea as the Houston server was terribly slow. The trace I got this morning indicated it went to the UK now, which may explain why the site can't be reached sometimes. The point is that strange things can happen with the text of a server which doesn't always indicate where the server is, but where the site owner is. Often the actual server depends on load factors, or the whim of the site owner. Ron Hunter schreef: >>>>> Hi all >>>>> Check the latest picasa from Google.

Google don't control content on those pages. However, there was no malware involved, just somebody trying to make a fistful of dollars through Google's AdSense referral program.
