Synopsis

Designed specifically for older adults, this guide provides the tools for managing, editing, and displaying digital photo collections using the free Picasa software. Screen illustrations and step-by-step instructions demonstrate the variety of options available such as enhancing colors, deleting "red eyes," cropping images, printing photos, creating slideshows, and sharing a photo album on the Internet. Securing a digital photo collection is critical, and this manual shows the simple way that Picasa burns backup image files to a CD or DVD. Some Picasa options require a high-speed internet connection, though the software will run the same way whether using a Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows 7 operating system.
