Got a Digital Camera? Here's Great News!

If you have a digital camera, then you have been looking for a good photo program to go with it. Take a look at "Picasa". This program has been described as "the program that should have come with your digital camera, but didn't". Picasa has been around for a long time and was previously a "shareware" program but the good news is, it was just purchased by Google and the full program is now FREE (a price I really like). Picasa has the ability to scan your hard drive for all the images you have and to organize them into albums by date or by an album name that you supply. It can be configured to recognize duplicates and only load them once. You can even fix some photo errors in Picasa without changing the original photos, such as cropping your photo to a size you like or red-eye removal, just to name a couple. In addition, it comes with a program called "Hello", also FREE which will allow you to send photos via Email. Hello will even allow you to upload photos to a website just as easily. Why not check it out? Just click on the title line of this posting. It's a live link that will take you to the Picasa website. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
