Saya kerepotan waktu membangun BLOG dengan foto yang
saya buat di Picasa.  Dengan menyatunya Picasa di
Google, saya yakin kesulitan itu teratasi.

Google Releases Photo Organizing Software

NEW YORK (AP) -- Search engine leader Google Inc.
released free software Tuesday for organizing and
finding the hundreds or thousands of digital photos
often stored on a computer's hard drive.

Using technology developed by Picasa Inc., which
Google bought last year, the new software will try to
make keeping a photo collection and editing pictures
simple even for beginners, said Lars Perkins, Picasa's
general manager.

Rather than requiring users to import individual
photos from their drives, the Picasa software
automatically detects them as they are added --
whether sent via e-mail or transferred from a digital
camera.

Picasa tries to do away with complexities such as file
names and folders. Photos are dumped into one bucket,
sorted by date, but the software can quickly pull
photos from date ranges or events as requested. In the
new version, users will be able to mark the best
pictures with a gold star and search only for those.

Picasa initially cost $29 but became a free download
after its acquisition by Google. Version 2 of Picasa
will also be a free download.

The new software will have better tools for restoring
color and removing red eyes.

New editing features include the ability to make the
sky bluer; to blur the background and focus on a
subject; or to rotate photographs slightly to
compensate for any camera tilt. All changes can be
reversed, and the software stores different versions
without requiring users to perform a ``save as''
command and rename the file.

Captions are automatically attached to the photo file
so that they go with the photo to Web sites and CDs.

Picasa is not Google's first venture onto the desktop.
Though the company got its start as an Internet search
engine, Google released in October a desktop search
tool that automatically records e-mail, Web pages and
chat conversations and finds Word, Excel and
PowerPoint files stored on the computer.

Picasa 2 is available only for Windows computer and
requires Microsoft Corp.'s Internet Explorer browser,
version 5.01 or higher, or Mozilla Firefox.
