Bev, Picasa 3.8 does offer several features not found in 3.0, but alas, no perspective correction. I've found it very easy to use, the only additional complication I've encountered is the fact that Wine must be downloaded - but the Ubuntu Programme Centre makes this a breeze - and Picasa opened in Wine before placing the icon on the top panel.... Let me take this opportunity to nuance my comment above about the Google Toolbar for Firefox not working in newer versions of Firefox - if one installs the FF add-on Add-on Compatibility Reporter 0.9, the GTF works like a charm ! In my case, I had to reboot to get it to display in my FF window.... Henri -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
