Google Picasa 3 Beta Download

Google has also released the first beta of Picasa 3 after their newest browser, Google Chrome. Picasa 3 now has the ability to support more photos on your computer (up to a million photos) and there are plenty of other nice improvements.

Google Picasa 3 New Features

Collage:

Experiment with six different collage types and a slew of new settings in the more hands-on collage creation screen.

Sharing:
Why take two steps when you can do it in one? Upload an album to Picasa Web Albums and email invitations to friends and family with just one click.

Auto red-eye:

Our improved technology automatically detects faces and corrects the red eye in your photos. While editing any photo, you can access the Redeye button redeye from the Basic Fixes tab. After the red eye is identified and auto-corrected, click Apply to accept the changes.

Cropping:

The Crop tool offers three crop suggestions based on the composition of your photograph. Don’t miss the 10 different dimensions to choose from when cropping. You can access the Crop button from the ‘Basic Fixes’ tab. Select your chosen dimension. Click the Preview button to get a sneak peek before you apply the changes.

Screensaver:

Spice up your screensaver by pulling in pictures from additional photo sources, such as your Web Albums and photo feeds. You also have more control over presentation aspects such as slide transition style, slide duration, and captions.

Multiple word tags:

You can now add multi-word tags to your photos. Finally, you can tag your rocking chair as ‘rocking chair,’ rather than ‘rocking’ and ‘chair.’ To add a tag, select your photo and click the Tag button tag next to the Photo Tray area or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T. The blue status bar at the bottom of the screen shows any tags that have been applied to your pictures.

Importing:

To help you import images from a particular day or event, Picasa now segments your images according to the time frame when they were taken. Each group of images in the import window will be marked by a clock icon. Hover over the clock to see the time stamp of this group or click a clock to select all the images in the group.

Slideshow: Make your slideshow come alive with new capabilities.
