The minimum requirements of using Picasa on your computer is that you must have 256MB of Ram, 100 MB of disk space on your hard drive and also that you are using Linux, Windows XP/Vista.

Picasa also gives the users the ability of turning their photos into movies, slideshows or collages, which makes it fun for users to share with family and friends. Also, you can add waterworks or text to your photos as well as fix blemishes and stains to older photos so you can restore it back to nearly mint condition.

Once you download Picasa it immediately will ask you to scan your whole computer or just you’re my documents folder. Then once you have chosen an option it immediately scans to pick up a variety of picture files in different formats such as .jpg, .gif. tiff, .png, and .bmp. It scans the computer fairly quickly as it finds virtually every single picture on your computer.

The collage tool is really unique and wonderful as it neatly arranges your photos in a realistic collage format. Overall Picasa is a superb and powerful photo sharing utility and is widely used all over the world thanks to it being provided free by Google.
