Fifth in my countdown of favorite, must-have freeware applications. Check out the previous review.

So with [tag]digital photography[/tag], most pictures probably need just a little bit of editing — maybe sharpening, removal of red-eye, or crop out that annoying person who thought sticking out his tongue while you and your significant other are capturing a moment. Whatever the case may be, you will want an easy to use program that can do just the basics. That’s why you need [tag]Picasa 2[/tag].

Picasa is a photo-editing program that is perfect for both amateur and professional. That’s right, professional! A buddy who is a up-and-coming wedding photographer swears by Picasa 2 and says many people in the field use it to do the editing they need for their pictures. I love how easy it is to use Picasa. It is very intuitive and has a very clean interface. It can find all of the pictures on your computer and will automatically organize them in albums. There are functions to upload to web albums and to even publish the pictures on your blog.

The main tools that I find myself using are the contrast, sharpening, and color correction ones (including turning a picture to a black and white picture). With this blog, I have attached my picture gallery, running [tag]Gallery 2[/tag] (another highly recommended [tag]freeware[/tag], by the way), and it is so easy to upload my pictures into my gallery and my blog. If you take digital pictures, then think of Picasa 2 as the only program you really need to make sure your pictures print or publish the exact way you intended.
