 Picasa Blows Off Consumer September 17, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Picasa is the best graphics editing software I have found, and I have researched the possibilities pretty thoroughly.
I had a few basic questions I asked Picasa techs to answer 1) how to delete images quickly, 2) how to tell the difference between thumbnails and say 640x480 pixels, 3) how to fast edit colors and 4) hot to develop "frames" or windows for segregating images chronologically. (NB: I have 8000 images from 22 years in the foreign service taken all over the world and want to put together a series of cd's. post on Kodak and PhotoShow, etc.
Picasa gave me a machine reply which said, "Go to our 'help' groups." Well, that means wading through encyclopedia-size messages hoping that someone, somewhere, had asked the same questions I had. Picasa's response was the very essence of "to blow off." Picasa's answer demonstrates rank arrogance and insensitivity, a response policy developed by someone totally out of sync with the American penchant to court the consumer rather than drive him away. Great product, lousy PR.
So, I will use the internet to find a graphics artist familiar with Picasa who is willing to provide advice for a fee. Picasa could do the same if it cared about establishing a mutually beneficial dialogue with consumers.
Ease of Display and Organization for Photos January 23, 2005
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have been operating Picasa for three or four years and upgraded the program once.... which had some aggravating problems. But, nonetheless, I have purchased two other photo organizing software programs (Picture It and Photo Explosion) and I find Picasa still is above the rest in picture display and organization. I guess it depends on what you are looking for in a photo organization program. The merry-go-round display of your pictures and the ability to just run the slideshow w/music and enjoy them full screen can't be beat.
Their photo editing ability is a little on the weak side and I tend to use other programs for that as I do a lot of electronic scrapbooking. But if you want easy ability to download your photos into a computer and be able to go back and enjoy them - email them, etc. I would vote for this product any day!
So Simple, So Beautiful! November 30, 2004

Picassa finally has done what all the other programs have NOT done - they've made it SIMPLE! Red-eye, cropping, enhancing, etc. This is the easiest program I've ever used for photo editing. I use is exclusively now. Love it!

This is a great program that makes managing hundreds of digital photos very simple and intuitive. As a power user I crave more advanced options and settings, and I have yet to find a program that does exactly what *I* want. But I never hesitate to recommend Picasa to friends and family. Especially now that Google has bought the company that makes Picasa and made it a FREE download!! Get yours at http://www.picasa.com/google/ and have fun :-)
