On the Windows side of things, Google’s Picasa program has received favor for intelligently organizing everyone’s growing glut of digital images. As of today, the Apple-devout can also jump on the bandwagon with Google’s immediate release of Picasa for Mac.
PR noisenoisenoise after the jump. Aren’t you even a little bit interested?
People who already share photos on Picasa Web Albums will find that Picasa for Mac allows them to easily and quickly manage their online and local photo collections. Millions of Mac users have been sharing photos on Picasa Web Albums, and while we’ve previously offered a Mac uploader and iPhoto plugin for Picasa Web Albums, Picasa includes additional sharing features like automatic web sync.
Picasa for Mac “plays nice” with iPhoto, and takes a read-only approach to editing photos stored in the iPhoto library, duplicating files as needed, so that users’ iPhoto libraries are never affected when they use Picasa. Avid iPhoto users who currently use our Picasa Web Albums Uploader plugin can continue to do so, although features like automatic web sync, photo collages, and more will only be found in the Picasa application.
Interestingly, Google notes that onlymost of the core features from the Windows version are available. If we can wrestle up the details regarding the exceptions, we’ll be sure to let you know. In the mean time, go forth and organize!
