I really like the minimalist approach of google’s services…. They are merely simple in nature but the given function is prolific indeed. So we’ve ditched up our so-so-old cameras, and we now have top of the line digital ones’, we have tons of pictures right into our hard disk drive, now we need to organize them. Problem is, we want far more better control in correcting our digital photos, we need a software that barely organizes our photos at the same time edit them with less hassle workarounds, we basically don’t need technicalities and complexities to learn picture organizers, all we want is the “user-friendly-thing” one to manage our picture files in no time (hassle free). Picasa for sure is a recommended application solution for mainstream digital photo management, it plays almost all of what we need to manage, organize, enhance, and share our captured photos digitally.

Picasa is somewhat known as, I guess, the PC equivalent for Mac’s iPhoto.
My main beef is, you can’t make a slideshow with sound. I’ll be reviewing a software soon that can do that seamlessly 🙂
You’re right…. I’m looking forward to that.
