When I switched to a Mac about a year and a half ago there was very little I missed about the PC environment. But I did miss Picasa for simple photo editing and easy uploading.
Hooray, Picasa for Mac is finally here!
I’ve just started playing with it but it’s just as I remembered, an easy way to make minor corrections and add some fun/cool effects.
It’s not photoshop, or paint shop pro (something else I miss) but for most people it could be the only photo editor you need. And for Mac users like myself- I think it’s what iPhoto should be. Zero learning curve included.
With Picasa I was able to take a photo I liked but which felt kinda blah (above) and make it interesting in under a minute. Cool.

I would have been excited by this a year ago. As it is now, I’m on Aperture and there’s no turning back!
Next tweetup? Any preferences as to date and location? I’m all ears ms. banannie!

The single bestest thing about Picasa, from my perspective, is the ability to straighten a photo! I also used to blog from it quite a bit. Nowadays, most of my quick fix needs are served by Picnik, which is especially convenient since you can load right into Flickr from there, or get to it from Flicker.
