I LOVE my new photo program

Last month at my annual scrapbooking crop, I was complaining about how to keep my digital photos organized. Mechiel, who shall now be known by me as the Explainer of all things photo, shared with me about Picasa. Picasa is a free program that allows you to edit, share, organize and do worlds of other things to your digital photos.

Mechiel walked me step by step through her pictures and showed me all types of tricks. The ease of this program is just phenomenal. I will say it again, because it needs repeating, Phenomenal.

So for the last month I have been playing with my new found Picasa. Basking in it's organization when today I discovered something even more magical about Picasa.

This:


One click did this. All I have to do is have it printed out.
Six 2x3 pictures ready to be cut apart and placed on a page.

And this..... No more photoshop, no more lining it up, no more stretch, skew and crop.


Now to many non-scrapbookers out there you probably don't get it. And that's OK. But to the scrapbookers I can feel your jaws hitting the ground. One click people, one click.

I will be available later for tutorials, and Picasa is free to pay me all royalties. (except that it's free to download and they don't make anything off the program) Oh well, as long as they gave it to me.......... it's worth thousands in my eyes.
