Picasa....

I have been using a free downloaded program called Picasa for several months now. It used to be an expensive program but then GOOGLE bought them out and started offering the program for free for people who had Blogs like our website. I found it not very intuitive (another way to say easy) at the time. As time moved forward they offered it to the public en masse. Then, not to long ago, they introduced a new version and it has become very easy to use and will be a joy for seniors to use in my opinion.
The program is used to make your photos beautiful and organized in the most easy fashion I have ever seen. It turn ok or crappy photos into a work of art or modifies your prized ones into pictures worthy of a professional. It offers hours of fun for the photo buff and help for the camera challenged.
This program was offered with a sister program called HELLO! Hello is a extremely quick way for you to send or share photos online with your friends and relatives... instantly. It also is a way for Bloggers such as myself to put pictures on the blog (another way of saying our website).
Both of these programs are offered for free... which is our favorite price. To use them effectively we will be using the school house site to work our way through the downloading and the basics.
Organizing is the key to successful management of your photos and we will do that in our class room. Many of the pictures you have saved will be scattered all over your hard drive. Including many that you have no idea why they are there. We will be getting rid of those and putting everything in albums with names we can understand and in a central place under MY Photos.
Picasa will then show us slide shows of our favorites with a couple of clicks of the mouse.
Naturally, this is a bit of work for me so, as I have done previously, I'm asking for a show of hands in the COMMENTS below of how many folks are interested and will commit to taking the lessons. Frankly, it is too time consuming a task if there is not much interest. ..
