Perhaps more care before pressing the shutter button is required. There is one item Picasa offers that most do not and that is tilt correction. I downloaded FastStone Image Viewer and do beleive it to be closest and in some ways better than Picasa. I checked out GIMP and found it to be somewhat confusing. Lightroom, especially newer versions, requires a very beefy or new computer. It could help you with organizing, if you use normal folder structures. I would not recommend Irfanview for color correction and editing, because it isn't as good as GIMP. I'm coming from the open source perspective, where many of us favor Darktable or RawTherapee for Raw conversion, and GIMP for color correction and editing. Google Photos might do the trick but it seems Picasa's Album Map facility isn't available, which is something I like to use.ĭo you use Picasa for Raw conversion to JPEG? Do you use it for color correction and editing? Or just for organizing?

I don't use the desktop software but I've used the web albums for years so I'll now need an alternastive. If they use raw, chances are the new camera wont be supported (unless they do the 'convert to dng' method as an extra step). The problem arises when a user gets a new camera. Yes - the desktop software will continue to be usable. Eventually we will all be assimilated but I intend to hang in there indefinitely. For those that use it for other than basic photo sorting and minor editing there may be a problem unless you "upgrade" to Google+ WEB service. Unless I completely misread Googles statement Picasa will carry on but will not be updated. Once MS gets you on their W-10 OS your headed for the clouds. MS, Google and Adobe to name a few are in phase one.

I have not nor intend to make use of there WEB software.Īll software providers are going this way.

This change to Google+ WEB service effects Google Plus users only. My take from all this is that Picasa software will be usable on our desktops but will not be updated or improved in any way. Sure, I read this right after responding to the OP. Been a Picasa user for about 10 years and no intent to go for alternatives. Now that it is going to be discontinued, I need to start looking for alternatives.Īnd this comes from where exactly? Perhaps Google just haven't gotten around to let me know. I have been using Google Picasa to organize my pictures for years. I think if you need more than simple organizational tools, you might as well jump into something like ACDSee rather than spend time looking for something just a bit less powerful. But I'm a pretty strong proponent of ACDSee. You might want to look at Faststone or Irfanview, they have the nice feature of being free.

Any other suggestions, comments?īetween a rich, and somewhat complex, Photo manager like ACDSee 19 or ACDSee Pro 9 (incl raw development) and a rather simple photo organizer like you would find built into Photoshop Elements or PaintShop Pro. Previously I have been using BreezeBrowser, and maybe ACDSee is also a good option. I prefer putting most pictures on my hard drive, instead of putting them online. Granted that the software will still be usage, I never the less would like to take the opportunity to "grow up" and use some REAL software. Now that it is going to be discontinued, I need to start looking for alternatives.
