Announcing Picasa 3.5, now with name tags, better geotagging and more

This is very exciting for me. I cannot say enough good things about the Picasa software. It's a totally free program offered by google that simplifies everything about owning a digital camera. Before I started using Picasa I would load my pictures onto the computer and they would be called "New Folder 42." I never knew what was actually in the folder. With Picasa it forces me to name the folder and I can add a description to it; where it was taken, the date, any comments and we even geotag our pictures which means we put the exact location the picture was taken. So already I'm super organized because I can search all of those factors, but now I'll be able to search by face. I love it! The minute I read this I downloaded the update and I am running the scans right now.

Picasa is so much more than an organization tool. The editing while very basic is pretty much everything you'll need. The "I'm feeling lucky" button is magic. Give it a try.

Here is the official announcement from the Google Photos Blog.
