Google launch Picasa 2.5 -My thoughts-
I’ve been a google lover for a long time, and this love only increased when they bought Picasa.
I use Picasa to catalogue, search and view more than 50,000 picture and have been using the beta of version 2.5 for quite some time and I honestly think it has improved.
What I like:
* New View option: I can now see in Picasa the actual folder structure of my computer
* Geotaging: Picasa can use Google Earth to geotag your pictures
* Canon 30D support: The basic reason why I’ve been using the beta version 🙂
* Experimental: the new Picasa has some experimental features, and in there you can now search for you Red, Orange, Blue, BW etc… pictures and guess what? It works 🙂 I simply can’t wait till picasa includes that promissed feature of “search for: Flower” and you will have all pictures will flowers poping up (and yes WITHOUT tagging)
What I don’t care:
* Picasa web: sorry guys but still A LOT to do before reaching flickr
What I’m still missing:
* EXIF info: Come on google, if you are reading this please we need/want picasa to be able to export from RAW with EXIF info you are forcing me to use another software just for that.
