Discovering Google’s Picasa 3.8

11.25.2011 by Leah //

AJ introduced me to Google’s free photo editing software, Picasa 3.8.ย  I am so thankful he did because I can’t seem to learn the basics of Adobe Photoshop!

I tried a little photo editing just now, and you can very well mark the difference.

The “before” photo (I just added some brightness and contrast using Photoshop):

The “after” photo (I used soft focus and sharpened the image a bit with Picasa):

Nice, yes?

    Big difference ano? Thank goodness talaga for photo edit softwares/applications that could help brighten up an otherwise boring photo. Some people brush up to much though kaya it all boils down to composition na. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Yes, I used Picasa before but I use different apps na nowadays especially if I just use my phone when taking the photos. ๐Ÿ˜€ but if I use the canon g12, I usually don’t edit them anymore save for the watermark.

      Kme naman we’re lusting after Panasonic Lumix LX5! We’re looking pa for the best payment terms for that.

    hi Leah! I’ve been using since forever. Since they’ve released the beta program ata. ๐Ÿ™‚ I liked the software because not only it’s free, super simple pa. I used this most of the time for the photos that I upload on my blog, save for the ones topher took using his Nikon. I used it also to upload the pics. Super handy! ๐Ÿ™‚

This blog is all about…
