Picasa 2 Essential Training

Picasa 2 Essential Training

with Dane Howard



Is your digital camera's memory card filled with photos you haven't copied to your computer yet? Are the photos on your hard drive randomly scattered everywhere? Did you take an almost-perfect-but-slightly-crooked shot? Take control of your digital photos with Picasa 2 Essential Training. These movies are packed with tons of useful tips on managing your photo library, editing your pictures, and sharing them with friends and family. In almost no time you will learn how to organize, sort, rate, and locate specific pictures as well as how to rotate images, remove redeye, and adjust exposure settings. You'll also learn how to share your photos via email, the Web, over a network, and even by ordering prints and books online. Stop just taking pictures and start enjoying them. Learn how this free software from Google can become a central part of your memory-authoring process. Exercise files accompany the training videos, allowing you to follow along and learn at your own pace.
Topics include:
  • Organizing your photos
  • Searching for photos
  • Removing redeye
  • Correcting tone and color
  • Converting to black & white
  • Batch editing
  • Sharing your photos
  • Creating a gift CD
  • Backing up to CD or DVD
