    Version 2.5, Build 32.94 - September 15, 2006

  • Share photos online - Upload photos to Picasa Web Albums for easy sharing on the web. Select the photos you want in Picasa and upload them to the web by clicking the "Web Album" button. When viewing your friends' albums online, you can even download them right back into Picasa on your own computer.

  • Nested folder view - Now you can choose how to display folders in Picasa, whether they're nested or sorted by date.
  • Save changes to disk - Picasa has always kept your original files safe. But we know that sometimes, users also like to be able to save their Picasa edits. Now you can save your edits and have access to them in other programs, but we also provide an automatic backup that lets you revert back to the original anytime. We even match the jpeg quality of your original.

  • Improved import - We know you've wanted to import files into an existing folder. We've also made importing faster, and made it easier to copy just a few files at a time.

  • Screensaver - Show starred photos in a collage, or pan and zoom your Web Album photos. Choose between four presentation options to display your best shots.

  • Geotagging - Picasa now works with Google Earth. Tell Picasa where you shot each photo, and view them on a 3-D globe in Google Earth. You can also export KMZ files for sharing online.

  • Larger thumbnails - Our thumbnails are slightly larger, so images are clearer, and we've improved speed as well. You will notice Picasa updating all of your thumbnails after the upgrade.

  • New RAW features - We support more cameras and RAW formats (including the Canon 30D, Nikon D200, and DNG). Color accuracy is better, and conversion speed is improved.

  • Plus, other goodies - Improved caption editing, starred photos organize automatically into a special album, and a "Just raw frames" option lets you export time-lapse sequences in the movie maker. The bottom row of buttons may also now be configured to suit your needs.
