Don Madge Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 We are very green when it comes to digital photo's but we have found a programme that is very easy to use. Picasa 2 http://tinyurl.com/dkhgc My wife started using it about two weeks ago and has just about cracked it. Considering she had never touched a computer until four months ago that's not bad.

spartan3956 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Have this running with all my photo`s on its ideal as the programme searches your cmputer for any new photo`s itself so you dont have to load them on individually. pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norma Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 This is a superb free program - what may not ha is how powerful the correction package is - click on the frame and use the left top panel - a really second rate incorrecly exposed picture can be rescued. Click the centre tab 'Tuning' and try fill light it will correct thre or four stops. And make a dull day look great just by clicking colour temperature to the right a couple of knotches. What is really clever is that the corrections do NOT do anything to the original JPG file as all changes are software driven - but you can re-save to make them permanent. Simply click undo at any time tosee the original. The printing and cropping function is excellent too. Just go through your libreary and play for a half-hour - so much easier and simpler for basic corrctions than Photoshop or similar ... and it's all free!

mom Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 That's what I like about Picasa, the correction and enhancements functionality. Not bad for a free product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 mom - 2006-12-04 6:22 AM That's what I like about Picasa, the correction and enhancements functionality. Not bad for a free product! Fully agree. Been using it for a while now with plenty of success. The 'I'm feeling lucky' and the 'straighten' are just brilliant for an amateur photographer like me. Roy.
