I searched the threads but could not find anything.
I downloaded Picasa2 last night and it looks cool, then there is Hello, which is a picture shareing thingy and you can send the pics from Picasa to your friends.
I just signed up for hello and have invited a friend so we can see how this thing works
Anyone else using this? |

| I use it just for fun. But, any editing you do doesn't show up when you access the image. You can do an export to get the editing to stick. It is great for emailing though, it automatically changes the image size for emailing. You can't really do alot with it that I can tell, but my kids love playing with it and since it always keeps the orginal, they can't mess anything up on me. |

one of my freinds mother actually showed me the Picasa and she is NOT a compter persona and does NOT understand image editing and saving your original. I have tried many time to explain it to her with little sucess. So I think this may be right up her alley. She complains to me all the time she cant email pictures, well she tries to send 30MB at a time of unedited pictures to her family and just cant understand FILE size Vs image size. So im gonna push this Hello and Picasa real hard to her so hopefully this will reduce the numer of "tech support" calls I get from her

The "Timeline" function in Picasa2 is fab. It lets you browse with a graphical animnated timeline of your photo folders

My wife (who is very technical, but not very interested in editing) used Picasa2 for a couple of weeks while in Europe to post images to a buzznet.com portfolio. It seemed really effective and simple to use.

I use picasa religiously. I use it manage my pics no editing. It handles RAW fairly well. I use it go throught the 100 pics I normally shoot on any take I can select the ones I one to edit in photoshop send them to photoshop from picasa. I can delete any I dont like or didnt work to good. The best thing is it manages them by date taken not by the folder name I assign so any given time I can go back to a date a pull up a picture.
Very nice program. I havent used hello I normally use gmail to send out pics from picasa. it will automatically reduce the size of the pic so it can sent via web e-mail.
If anyone wants a g-mail account send me a pm I can send you an invite. |

Picasa is good overall. I don't use it anymore because it does not upload the edited image. It also "pixelates" my photos, making it look distorted sometimes. Something called "Moire" irregular patterns of color are obvious to the eye. Since posting and submitting photos to this sites challenge I would not recommend it.
As was mentioned, for simple email, ease of use, and smaller photo blogs, it very good. The price is right. FREE... |

I hate the way picasa doesn't display the tree structure for folders.
I have a tree structure:
Year->Month->day where I store originals (raw)
Year->Month->day->jpg where I store the extracted/converted jpgs
all i get in picasa is one folder with 'day' and hundreds of folders called 'jpg' - no association with the higher directory
if someone knows a way of getting the thing to honour the folder structures I'd appreciate some help.
