Picasa 3

I've been a long time fan of Picasa, so I downloaded Picasa 3 about a week ago and I've been rather impressed with it.

There are tuns of new features that are great for anyone who wants a free alternative to Photoshop. Clearly, this is not a product designed for the cheapskate Photoshop user... It's not a replacement for tools you already know how to use in Photoshop; however, if you're one of those people who needs to crop, rotate, or otherwise tweak your photos, Picasa 3 is for you!

My favorite new feature is the replacement for Microsoft's Windows Photo Gallery... It allows you to quickly preview images and make minor tweaks without loading the full version of Picasa... Not that Picasa takes a long time to load, but this slim application is practically instant.

If you don't have it... get it!
