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)

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.

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.

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. ;)

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.

    • 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
