Google today launched Picasa 2, the latest iteration of the free photo management software it has owned since acquiring Picasa in July.
Picasa 2 automatically recognizes digital cameras once users plug the devices into their PCs. They can then organize, edit and share the photos using a number of features available in the new version.
"With Picasa 2, we've made it easier for people to find, organize, improve and enhance their photographs, as well as create photo CDs, personalized slideshows, desktop collages, and much more," Lars Perkins, general manager of Picasa, said in a statement.
Users can select any number of effects to alter their pictures, said the company, including 12 photographic filters, color and lighting adjustments, red-eye removal, photo cropping and straightening. The program also allows users to add captions, search for photos on a computer and reorder pictures.
