Hi bazza

I`ve used picassa for some years, after you originally mentioned it.

It seems to have changed recently ?

Google becoming more intrusive.

Anyway, brief question, is it still possible to use picassa for resizing and basic editing, i.e alter contrast, brightness etc.

I last used it in Feb this year, now seem unable to do so ?

I`m using an old version, picassa 3.

Help !

Thanks

Paul the latest version is Picasa 3.9


Yes you can do the basic editing. It is all that I do


To save your edited photo go to -


File, Export Picture to folder. Select where you want the file to be stored, then select size 1040 for Facebook, 1200 for here and Normal quality is fine.


Of course you can experiment what size suits you



Hope this helps

Hi bazzap

Thanks

I re installed picasa and all seems OK now.

I tried both Nikon`s photo viewer/editor and Irfan view, both too complicated for me, picasa fairly straight forward.

If anyone wants a free copy of DXO Pro Optics follow the link above, enter your email address and you'll be taken to a page you can download it from and will be emailed an activation code. It's not the latest version, it's 7 rather than 9, but still has profiles and correction presets for all but the most recent cameras and lenses
