GOOGLE'S Picasa photo-editing PC program makes handling images a doddle, and it's FREE!
Anyone who's bought a camera from me or been on one of my courses will have been given a recommendation to download Picasa.
It does not replace Adobe Photoshop Element's simple sophistication and is not a patch on Photoshop CS2. It does give a great entry for beginners to adjusting images.
Picasa also makes e-mailing images and burning CD/DVDs into a simple operation. Click on the button in my sidebar to try it for yourself.
A client said to me this week that installing Picasa was great as it had "tracked" down a lot of photos I thought I'd lost.
