If you haven't tried Picasa, I definately recommend trying it :)  I'm hoping the new ownership will push this program forward quicker than its currently moving.

man, i agree. i've been using 1.5 for over a year now and the most they've done to it is added a piece called, "hello" and updated the software to 1.6.

i've been using acdsee and i love it but i'm really torn between that and picasa. if they add category support i just may drop acdsee. it's a really nice piece of software. again, i agree, i hope they push it along in a faster manner and make it more robust.

What do you mean with category support. I mean i just looked at the software and you can built you own collections... isn't this like a category?

Just got familiar with the interface and hell yeah categories for the individual collections are missing.

Like this:

comics

-> calvin & hobbes

> 1984

> 1985

> ...

-> garfield

> 1978

> 1979

> ...

Perhaps with the next update. But this program is definitly a keeper (like gooooold). My database is growing and growing (picasa is searching for pictures for over 45 minutes and i have some all well sorted on one partition) - until now i have a 200 mb database.

Other missing features:

- control speed of slideshow

- control how pictures are shown at slideshow (maximized or original size)

But i guess the more people use it the more support and updates we can expect...

Impressive piece of software, especially since it's now free...

(Wonder what they are going to do to those users who bought the software before Google got their mits on them ?)

Between Picasa and ACDSee it's a hard choice, for something simple, fast and good looking Picasa has everything beaten hands down.

I'd say it's on par with iPhoto on the Mac.

Look forward to plenty of updates, hopefully Google will throw some muscle at the development team and make the program the best way to organise photo's on a pc. :)

It sure is impressive. I'm just blown away that finally something almost as good as (or as good as) iPhoto is on the PC for FREE. I love how easy it is to upload your pictures to a Blog. I'm definitely going to use it.

You can control the speed of the slideshow and you can create sub albums for collections (if I understand that's what you're trying to do).

Ok, I'm AMAZED at the ease of use that Picasa coupled with Hello has. It's so easy to update your blog it blows me away. I absolutely love it!!! No more Opening Photoshop to resize the image and then upload it and update my webpage (yeah, that takes a while).

THANK YOU GOOGLE!!!!

Thank you google my ass..... they just bought it, they never developed it.

Thank you Lifescape Inc.

I hope they add something similar to the keyword tags in Adobe Photoshop Album (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopalbum/overview.html) that are just drag and drop. It's a pain in the ass to try and go through and label who's in picutres etc. and nowhere near as easy to select them once they are labeled.

speaking of.. what happened to the Picasa support forum where you could give feedback etc?

Funny thing is I just saw someone post about how they finally bought it yesterday (the 15th). :laugh: :blink:

How does that work? :unsure:

How does that work?  :unsure:

You create tags (which look like luggage tags with a picture in them) and then you drag them onto photos that they match. They have categories for People, Places, Events, and anything else you want to sort by. Then you can select just photos that match up to sets of tags by selecting those tags.

So if you want to find pictures of you and your girlfriend in Spain or something you just click both your names and Spain. Or if you just want landscapes you just click landscapes.

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
