Picasa for Seniors: Get Acquainted with Picasa: Free, Easy-to-Use Photo Editing Software

Designed specifically for older adults, this guide provides the tools for managing, editing, and displaying digital photo collections using the free Picasa software. Screen illustrations and step-by-step instructions demonstrate the variety of options available such as enhancing colors, deleting "red eyes," cropping images, printing photos, creating slideshows, and sharing a photo album on the Internet. Securing a digital photo collection is critical, and this manual shows the simple way that Picasa burns backup image files to a CD or DVD. Some Picasa options require a high-speed internet connection, though the software will run the same way whether using a Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 7 operating system.
