Picasa

I have finally gotten around to playing with the Picasa photo app.

Here is a link for a collage (shown above) that I made with some photo's of my kitten and his new playmate.

Picasa allows photo's to be uploaded which ensures you have a backup copy available from anywhere in the world as long as you have access to the internet.

With Picasa you may either share your albums, keep them private or require the viewer to sign in to see the images.

Picasa would allow students to share photo's or to access photo's that may have been taken as part of a school experiment and then use the photo's individually for their report on the experiment.

Albums may be made as required and these may be shared on an album by album basis with you choosing with whom you will share the album. You have the option of whether or not you will allow the people that you are sharing with add to the photo's also.

This is a great collaborative tool that also has effects that can be applied to the photo's and an RSS feed button and a link button to ensure people can readily keep track of any changes to the album.
