Google officially launched the beta version of Picasa 3 today and it’s packed with super cool new features!
Most interesting among the new features is the face recognition technology that automatically groups similar faces together. I hope this will save me hours of looking for specific faces in my hundreds of folders! There’s also a new watermark feature, something I’ve been hoping Picasa would have. There’s also the Picasa Photo Viewer that lets you preview photos without having to totally open Picasa. The new release also carries a better integration with Picasa Web Albums that allows you to automatically sync changes. Of course there are new and better photo enhancing tools such as auto-retouch, auto-red eye correction. Improved movie, collage, and slideshow creation are also in the pack and there’s so much more!
I’ve been using Picasa for years now. These exciting new features in Picasa 3 are sure to add another dimension in my organization of the tens of thousands of photos in my computer. I’m downloading my copy to “get my hands dirty” with all the new features. You want your own copy too? Get it here, quick!
