Google Picasa 3.5: First Look – Wow
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
Hot on the heels of the latest Photoshop Elements 8 (click for full review) comes the new Picasa 3.5.
This adds a few features across the board, such as a revamp of importing and various interface tweaks, but the clear focus of the new release is on in-depth tagging of images via a new side panel that offers three tabs for applying text-based tags, locational geodata and new face-based tags.
To be honest my heart sank when I heard this – what I’ve always liked about Picasa is that it keeps things simple and doesn’t treat managing your photos as a full-time job. Moreover I’d recently come away less than impressed with Photoshop Elements 8’s new face tagging not so much because the technology doesn’t work (it does though imperfectly), but rather because the gains aren’t worth the effort.
So how does the new Picasa 3.5 shape up? (more…)
What happened to Premiere Elements 5 and 6?
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
The technology world moves at such a Leopard-like pace that, after only a fortnight off, it’s easy to feel out of the loop.
Yet, when I returned from my cloud-addled holibubs this morning, I was beginning to wonder whether I’d been away two years rather than two weeks. Before I went away Adobe was trundling along on Premiere Elements 4. I come back this morning, and the company’s announced Premiere Elements 7!
Had those crafty Adobe folk launched 5 and 6 whilst I was rain dodging in Devon? No, the lovely PR manager explained, Adobe has simply decided to skip versions 5 and 6 so people don’t get confused when they see Photoshop Elements 7 bundled with its seemingly two-versions-behind video brethen, and think they’re being saddled with old software.
Glad nobody got confused then…
