I LOVE Picasa


So I just have to give a shout out here to Picasa. It has the most amazing features that I have been wanting in a photo organizing program...if one existed, until recently I was not sure it did. It does the coolest thing. When you label a face in a photo, it will go through ALL (yes all, it is a lengthy process) your photos and use facial recognition to determine where that face shows up in them. Pretty cool and super fun to watch. It is not always right, but it gives you the opportunity to confirm or reject a picture before adding it to a folder. The funniest thing is watching it choose Luke or various cousins when it is looking for Clark. It just proves how strong genetics can be!


I have used Picasa randomly for the past couple years, but not until my friend Shalah posted about this awesome feature did I realize how truly great this program can be. Her post is so informative too! I wish you had access to it, but she has gone private. All I can say is load it on your computer, it is free and it will organize all the randomness into what really matters...PEOPLE! It does a lot more too, but for me this is the deal cincher! I love it and I love finding all my cuteys pics in one place!

Wow! I have Picasa, but I didn't know about the face recognition thing. Does it move your files out of the folders they're already in, or just label them? I have them organized by month and year, and I wouldn't want to change that.

It's funny to me that you posted about picasa because I just started using it again and am frustrated with it! I actually thought about calling you guys for help. Maybe I will...over our minutes and texts right now, a first for me, maybe later.
