Great Software for Organizing Your Whitetail Deer Photos

We women whitetail deer hunters love anything that's free, easy to use and saves us time, and Google's Picasa photo software sure fits the bill.

What is Picasa? Picasa is a free software program, that organizes, edits, and shares your digital photos.

I found Picasa totally by accident.

Overwhelmed by the hundreds of digital photos stored in various locations on my computer, I longed for a simple and easy way to see and find all of my photographs.

I had tons of photos from my digital camera and hundreds of whitetail deer photos from two different trail cameras. When I needed to find a photograph to use in a blog post or to share photos with family and friends, it was nearly impossible.

The Kodak Easyshare software that came with my digital camera was supposed to help me organize my photos but I found it to be a piece of junk, sorry Kodak. Kodak has great digital cameras but the software that comes with them is horrible.

So while surfing the internet looking for something that would help me store and easily find my photos, I stumbled on a review of Picasa. It sounded like exactly what I needed so I went to the Google Picasa site to check it out.

The program download was simple and easy. When I opened Picasa for the first time, it instantly found all of my photographs and pictures and indexed them.

Picasa displays your photographs almost like you were laying them out on a table. In the large right-hand pane you can see 20 to 30 photographs at a time and you can easily scroll up or down through your photos. In the left-hand pane is a list of the folders where those photographs are stored on your computer. Clicking on a photo in your right-hand display highlights the file folder where the photo is stored.

Picasa has many great features.

It is fully integrated with Google Blogger and you can instantly upload photos to your blog posts from the program through the "Blog This" icon.

You can publish your photos online to share with family and friends and Picasa Web Albums gives you 1 gigabyte of free online storage.

You can backup all of your photographs to a CD or a DVD (if you have lots). Picasa remembers which photos were previously backed up so you don't store them again.

Although Picasa doesn't have the photo editing power of Adobe Photoshop, it does a great job and doesn't cost $700.

Picasa has other neat features like Geo-tag to integrate with Google Earth and show your photos on a global map.

Picasa is really powerful and easy-to-use software and best of all, it's free.

So check out the Picasa Features and Download Picasa.
