Google launches Picasa 2.

[Eric]

Well I'm a bit late on this but...

On January 18th, Google released the first update of Picasa, the digital photo editing and sharing software, since they acquired the company six months ago. Picasa 2 is free and is available for download from Picasa. The software is great for people who have a large number of digital photos that can be difficult to organize; when the application is first started, it automatically locates all pictures and sorts them by date and folder name for easy retrieval.

According to eWeek:

While Picasa 2 adds a range of features for photo editing and organizing, it also introduces Google-like touches to the application. [...]

The update also replaces a Picasa-branded service for buying digital prints with the Picasa Marketplace that connects to popular photo-sharing sites such as Ofoto Inc., Snapfish, Shutterfly and Walmart.com, said Lars Perkins, the general manager of Picasa.

Picasa 2 rocks. There are tons more picture-editing tools, and captioning was a major feature that was missing from the original.

You said it Intelliot , the new release is just another excuse for me to continue using Picasa. I advise everyone to atleast give it one try.
