## Overview

- **Who it's for**: Casual and amateur photographers who wanted a simple, no-cost way to organize and touch up the photos already piling up on their computer.
- **What you get**: Picasa automatically scanned a computer for photos and organized them into a searchable library by folder, date, or face-recognition-based groupings of people. It included basic editing tools for cropping, red-eye removal, color and contrast adjustment, and one-click fixes, plus features for creating collages, slideshows, and captions. Integration with Google's Picasa Web Albums allowed photos to be uploaded and shared online directly from the desktop app.
- **How it works**: Users installed the desktop application, which indexed image files on their hard drive into a browsable library; from there they selected photos to edit with the built-in tools, tag with names or captions, and optionally upload to a web album for sharing via a link.
