Google recently purchased Picasa, a picture organizingation tool, and has made it available for free. It’s a very nice application that will scan and watch any folders you designate (or your entire drive) as picture folders. You can perform a number of useful operation on these pictures including:
* Watching a slide show
* Creating a web album
* Printing images
* E-mailing images
* Ordering prints
* Minor image corrections (red eye removal, auto enhace)
* Crop and rotate images
An interesting feature is the Timeline, which organizes and displays images based on their creation date. You can also associate keywords (metadata) with each image to aid in searching for just the image you need.
The UI is very clean and intuitive and most users should be able to get up and running in a matter of minutes. If you have a large collection of images and are looking for a lightweight tool to keep them organized and viewable, Picasa may be just the tool you need.
