PICASA SHORT COURSE - UPDATE & NEW FEATURES

I assisted Jon Bayley with his short course on Picasa updates and new features last Wednesday.
His students were all Picasa users and were keen to be shown the new features.

Jon demonstrated using the new features of some of the useful 'Effects' tab, as well as some time at naming, saving and grouping their photos.

He told them about Picasa's addition of a very powerful feature to the Album functions, using face recognition software similar to that now incorporated into many cameras. Picasa automatically searches through all photos in the folders selected, and identifies all faces for you to name.

Picasa also has a feature that allows you to make limited edits to video clips taken on your still camera.

Jon will continue to conduct his popular Managing Your Digital Photos during 2014, so put your name on the waiting list to score a place in his class, and anybody who has previously attended his courses and wants to update their Picasa knowledge about the new features of version 3.9 should put their name down as well-its a one-day course.
