Picasa

Picasa is a fairly popular image manager. With this utility you can perform actions with images such as:

• retouch;
• sort;
• send to print and much more.

Picasa is distributed on a free basis and is suitable for installation on Windows PCs starting with the XP version. This multitasking photo manager will give the user access to a huge toolkit that will become an indispensable assistant in managing the image and video library available on the PC. The manager can work as a classic cataloger. Sorting of files on the computer can occur by several parameters:

• date;
• file name;
• tags.

It is worth saying that the software does not distribute "physical" files on the PC according to the set parameters, but only gives the opportunity to perform a visual sorting. The user can also attach a geo-tag to the image, send the photo to the "Favorites" folder or mark the people captured in the photo. In addition to using images saved on the computer, the software allows downloading new images from any media, regardless of whether it is a camera or a smartphone. The user can not only view files, but also process them. On the toolbar of the program there are different buttons that perform quite interesting functions that can not only correct, but even remove all the flaws in the photo. Among such functions you can find:

• red-eye elimination;
• retouching;
• cropping;
• watermarking and more.

The available images can be used to create collages and posters that can be posted on social networks. The user can choose the place of data storage - it can be a computer memory or removable media. A little earlier, this software was an application of a popular online-gallery. To date, this service does not work, but its desktop application works and is still popular, and does it absolutely free.
