Picasa 3.5
I have been using Google Picasa off and on for some time now; Having just recently upgraded my version to 3.5… I was surprised to find a new addition.
New in Picasa 3.5 is name tags, where picasa scans all your photos, identifies the ones with faces and groups similar faces together. In my testing this new feature worked rather well… finding faces in pictures that are half cut off and even out of focus. If Picasa adds photos into a group and it isn’t too sure about the match, it will ask you to verify its the same person. My findings were great here too… it didn’t mismatch any faces at all.
If you are looking for a great free photo manager, give Picasa 3.5 a whirl; If you haven’t used it before be sure to check out the automated collage features.
