Picasa

With today's growing technology the idea of sharing ideas and thoughts through images has developed in some pretty creative ways. Photos can now be enhanced, unenhanced, edited, cropped, distorted… the list goes on. An individual doesn't even need to know the rhyme or reason to making a photo "sepia" besides clicking a button to makes the color hues do so on any particular photo. Making your photos seem as you wish doesn't require much effort at all anymore.

Picasa is an awesome editing program that turns photos into almost anything that one would like. There are a variety of quick editing effects for those that like commonly known photo effects, such as black & white and sepia, along with the ability to manually edit your photo. The set up is very user-friendly and self-explanatory. One thing I found frustrating about picasa it is hard to compare effects from one to the other when using manual tools of shadowing and color enhancers. Other than that, I would recommend Picasa to my family and friends.
