I Heart Picasa

I love using Picasa. I must admit I'm not really great with Adobe or Corel and the "I'm feeling lucky" button in Picasa really does wonders to my photos and the "Collage" button also saves me time from stitching photos up. The slideshow feature must have been around for quite a while now but I never really did try it, until now.

Check out the photos from the musical play that made me laugh non-stop for two hours last night - Zsa Zsa Zaturna Ze Musicale.

Discovering and Loving Picasa

I've been using Picasa for quite a while now. Aside from making it easy for me to search for photos - I usually tag my folders this way when I download photos from my digital camera "Year-Date Photo was Taken-Occasion/Venue/Event", for example 2007 April 29 to May 1 Cebu and Bohol - and that makes it easy for me to put a keyword in the Picasa search box and find the photo I'm looking for.

Aside from Picasa's search function, the next best thing I like about Picasa is the "I'm feeling lucky" button which can be found when you view photos and edit them. I'm no expert photographer nor web designer, so it's a bit difficult for me to determine what's the best contrast and brightness for a photo. I just click on "I'm feeling lucky" and the photo gets fixed up instantly. Check out the photos below I spruced up using Picasa.

Time Warp

Photos taken at Fort San Pedro, Cebu City, Philippines
using a point and shoot digital camera. I used the "Focal B&W"
feature to set the photo in B&W and one point in color.

And, of course, since I seem to be verging towards "I can't go through a day without blogging" I'm really happy about the following Picasa features: Blog This, Web Album (where you can easily get link URLs and codes for embedding albums in your blog), and the Collage.

And! And! 1 GB storage space! :)
