Picasa Logo

Version 2 of my currently favorite digital photo organizer is out. Yeah, Picasa 2.0 is now available for download. From the looks of it (I haven't run through it yet), this new version is loaded with new image manipulation functions.

I do hope it comes with a Caption editing function, though. Perhaps it does come with a Caption Editor, since the caption element was already available in its XML output previously. Why put the Caption option if it is not going to be there? Another hope of mine is that it churns out a properly indented XML file.

Aaaahhhh.. just finished reading up bits on what's new in this version. Hey, looks like captions are in. Hmmm.. looks like I can now put in a few words for my photos.. hehe. Okay, so here are some of the new features:

  • Captions
  • Labels
  • Image fixes, tuning and effects - sepia, black n white, soft focus, etc.
  • Collage creations
  • ScreenSavers
  • Gift CD
  • Poster creations
  • Photo archiving
  • etc.

Wow.. check it out. That's a handful of new features. I will certainly try every single feature out. Hmmmmm.. screen savers eh..

With Picasa, if you have a Blogger blog, you can post your photos into your blog, directly from within Picasa itself. However, a Blogger account and the Hello software is required. So.. allow me to run through this new version before I make further comments and reviews about it.
