Picasa for MAC - FINALLY!!! Goodbye iPhoto

http://googleblog.blogspot.com/

Introducing Picasa for Mac (at Macworld!)
1/05/2009 02:25:00 PM
Sometimes I find it hard to describe Picasa without sounding like a late-night infomercial for a multi-bladed thingamabob: "It's a photo organizer! A photo editor! A web-savvy photo sharing and management system in just one tiny package!"

We try hard to avoid hyperbole around here, but it's true that Picasa software, working together with Picasa Web Albums, can help with nearly every aspect of owning and operating a digital camera. And because many of us take pictures in order to share them, we try to make sure Picasa does a great job of getting your favorite photos online, where friends and family can enjoy them too. In Picasa 3, that means powerful new features like automatically syncing changes between the photos on your computer and what you're sharing online, useful privacy controls integrated into the software on your PC, easier notifications, and more.

And today, we're releasing Picasa for Mac. While we've previously offered both a standalone Picasa Web Albums uploader and an iPhoto plugin for Mac users, Picasa for Mac finally brings all of the advanced sharing and sync features of Picasa to the millions of Mac OS X users who use Picasa Web Albums. Not to mention the "it-slices-and-dices" feature list that covers everything from color balance to collages.


Picasa for Mac looks and works much like Picasa on other platforms, and offers trademark Picasa features — such as non-destructive editing, and the ability to keep track of photos anywhere on your hard drive, then automatically account for new images as you add them.

Right now, Picasa for Mac is still in Google Labs, but we very much wanted to get an early version out to folks attending Macworld (you can learn more about this beta release at the Google Photos blog). To run Picasa, you'll need an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.4 and above. We hope you'll give it a spin, and give us your feedback in person — members of the Picasa engineering team will be conducting demos at Google's Macworld booth all week (you can also check out the video tour below).

Cookin', Drinkin', Eatin' & Hangin' with my Girls for New Years

Took two 4 day weekends to finally relax and "Kick it Up a Notch" with some delicious yummie meals. Best part yet was cookin' with LaLa and my babe. Even better is the yummie leftovers that will last us all weekend long, YUM!!!

Xmas Morning Fun for LaLa's 2nd Santa Visit

The theme from Santa this year was "Bo-Day", Louisa's word for Play-Doh. She really enjoyed the cinnamon buns my parents sent out, YUMMIE!!! We'll be posting a video later of this fun. Anyone want to come over and make some Play-Doh ice cream sundaes or barbeque? How about making up some plastic food sandwich or reading a potty book or about Corduroy's Christmas!!!

Xmas 2006 with Santa

In 2006 Santa made the first personal visit to Northwood, New Hampshire to visit with Monet and Ethan for their first Christmas!!! Certainly a memorable experience. Louisa is looking forward to this years visit already. She keeps saying Santa, Santa. Will be a great setting with at least a foot of the white stuff on the ground and another 16in coming tomorrow, WOWZER!!!

A Behner Family Christmas - Almost Griswold Style

Came close to being a National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation with a variety of character building moments:
- Lost Power
- Septic Pump Alarm "Sh%#&er is Full"
- Knocked Over Xmas Tree with Broken Ornaments
- ...

But fortunately everyone safely made it to spend together as a family, another unforgettable holiday celebration. Thanks again Mom, Dad, Anne, Katie and LaLa for making it so special!!!
