Redestium Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 ok, i heard version 2.0 is coming,but how about those paid users? when i launched Picasa, i saw it asking me to register, "Free Product Updates" ? so version 2.0 is free? mitodna I don't think Google will start charging.

Bearded Kirklander Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 So this is pretty much a program like Adobe Photoshop Album and JASC Paint Shop Photo Album? I think Adobe gives away their starter version of Album 2.0, which is supposed to be pretty cool. I don't remember hearing much about Picasa before. Odd. But I pretty much just use Paint Shop Pro 7 and a folder hierarchy that makes photos easy to find instead of depending on an index app like those mentioned above. But free software is way cool. Nothing wrong with free goodies. (Y) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/190399-google-acquires-picasa/page/5/#findComment-2502199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuarterSwede Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 (edited) Thank you google my ass..... they just bought it, they never developed it.Thank you Lifescape Inc. Google made it FREE and I would have never used it before because it wasn't. I'll give Lifescape credit for making a good product but part of the reason it is great is because of the Hello (Blogger) support.

Bryan000 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 I downloaded it yesterday when I saw a link on the google frontpage. It is very high quality software and performs GREAT. But it is lacking some features to help it completely replace the Windows XP Picture Viewer. For example it has no 'image zoom' feature. I think that is a very important feature for ANY image viewer/organizer.

helmers Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 For viewing photos, it is very good. The "Media detector" isn't all that much of a resource hog, and it's fast! Two things I'm missing: - The ability to drag an image to another application (photoshop) - Zoom feature - Brightness/saturation Other than that, the "auto-enhance" feature as well as the red-eye remover works GREAT. I will recommend this to all my friends with a digital camera. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/190399-google-acquires-picasa/page/5/#findComment-2509777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Kirklander Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 For example it has no 'image zoom' feature. I think that is a very important feature for ANY image viewer/organizer. That is a pretty hardcore flaw. Guess I'll stick with Paint Shop Pro and Irfanview...

Galley Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 ACDSee 6 still blows away Picasa. I guess we'll have to wait for version 2.0. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/190399-google-acquires-picasa/page/5/#findComment-2510411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Kirklander Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 ACDSee 6 still blows away Picasa. I guess we'll have to wait for version 2.0. I tried ACDSee years back but it had trouble with graphics headers for some formats so I used other software. I should probably give it another shot. But Paint Shop Pro has a Browse feature and helps make image management pretty easy since you can make, drag and drop folders as you browse to help organize things the way you want.

BroChaos Veteran Posted July 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted July 19, 2004 honestly, picasa can't compete with the high end photo management software. but nothing looks prettier and runs smoother. and since i don't care about features, and just use it as a photoalbum, it's great :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/190399-google-acquires-picasa/page/5/#findComment-2512691 Share on other sites More sharing options...
