Picasa
So MacWorld happened recently and one of the announcements was Google’s photo management software Picasa is now available in Beta for the Mac. I’ve had my eye on it for awhile and was always sad when it was only for Windows. I’ve heard such great things about it!

Special note: last fall I took a lot of pictures of myself to use for different photo editing projects, this blog, and just for fun.
Well so far it’s lived up to the hype. I have it on both machines and it’s lovely. I have so many tools at my disposal, like iPhoto, Photoshop, Memory Manager and the like. So far this seems to do all the right things and it’s just way easy to edit photos. Sometimes I like to use Photoshop and get in there really good. Other times though it’s just overkill. Picasa has a bunch of helpful tools that aren’t entirely dumbed down.

After
It’s got some fun and easy features like Collage and Movie.

But my favorite part is how it synchronizes to web albums, which makes sharing really easy.
