Learning by Screencast

This screencast gives overview of photo-organizing and manipulation program Picasa.

Picasa is free software from Google that helps you:

• Locate and organize all the photos on your computer.
• Edit and add effects to your photos with a few simple clicks.
• Share your photos with others through email, prints and on the web: it’s fast, easy and free.

Picasa automatically scans your photos and organizes them chronologically and by folders. You can make virtual albums without copying files physically so you can save disk space. You can view files with slideshow or with graphical timeline. You can also make Picasa photo CD to share it with friends.

Picasa offers easy to use image fixing tools: You can adjust brightness, contrast, remove red eyes, etc… There are also 12 effects for applying to pictures. Picasa differs from other photo editing programs that it never changes original photos, so should not worry about originals. Fixes that are made in Picasa are visible only in Picasa and you can undo fixes at any time. To make fixes visible to other programs you can export them any time.

With Picasa you can share your photos by e-mail, Picasa Web Albums web service, post them to blog or order prints to share photos physically. There are much more features in Picasa that will be described later in Learning by Screencast, so stay tuned through RSS .
