Picasa 3.8 Release has “Face Movie”
Filed Under Scrapbooking, Web Design | Leave a Comment
The New version of Google’s Picasa Photo Organizing/Editing software has just gotten better. The coolest new feature is “Face Movie.” Combining the face recognition feature, I selected the Album of all of the photos that my daughter was in. I then told Picasa to make a face movie. What a great slideshow of memories! The software tries to keep the face in the same place and change the picture. What a quick way to make something for a birthday or other special occasion! Down load Picasa here.

Picasa 3: Free download from Google
I have been using Google’s Picasa for quite some time, but I didn’t have the newest version (nor did I access Picasaweb) before I upgraded my computer system. This new version allows me to use face recognition so that it can find all the pictures with a certain person in it. As soon as I identified my daughters in several photos I uploaded, I was able to view all the pictures of them. It was very neat to scroll through their development — it shows only a close up of their face in all the pictures. It was also interesting to see how accurate it was. Out of the thousands of pictures I have of those two, it only made a few errors. I had to look at the whole picture to make the determination which daughter is was, too! It identifies who it thinks is in the pictures and then asks you to confirm. What was amazing was that it could identify the baby pictures.
If you haven’t tried this one yet. It is a must!

Flickr: Help: Photos – This link helps you add tags when you upload via email or phone to your special flickr email address.
Basically, whatever you type in the Subject line becomes the photo’s title. Whatever you type in the body of the message becomes the photo description. Then type tags: tag1, tag2, “really cool”, tag 4 in either your subject line or body to add your tagging to the photo.
WARNING: Be sure you send optimized — smaller-sized photos to your account. A good way to do this from your computer is to right click on the photo and send the smaller sized photo to your special email address.
