On January 5, 2009, Google released a beta version of Picasa for Mac (Intel-based Macs only). Also, a plugin is available for iPhoto to upload to the Picasa Web Albums hosting service. There is also a standalone Picasa Web Albums uploading tools for OS X 10.4 or later. The Picasa for Mac is a Google Labs release. This section needs additional citations for verification.

It also offers several basic photo editing functions, including color enhancement, red eye reduction, and cropping. Other features include slide shows, printing, and image timelines. Images can also be prepared for external use, such as for e-mailing or printing, by reducing file size and setting up page layouts. There is also integration with online photo printing services. Other simple editing features include adding text to the image. If it integrates as well as iPhoto does - so much the better.Picasa supports Google's WebP image format as well as the JPG format and most Raw image format (RAW files). Picassa 3 for Mac - when it comes out - will be installed.

I have got people who use Picassa to understand how to do simple tasks, such as bulk resizing, a lot easier then those under iPhoto. I do like the integration iPhoto and iWeb have but I found that was a better web design product for novices then iWeb but its no longer under production. Graphic Converter last I looked - still had its roots in the classic environment despite being a Universal download, many dialog boxes were exactly the same as when I used it extensively about 8 years ago under the classic environment. I hope they do port it over, and also enable Bonjour Sharing between both Picassa and iPhoto. With nothing else to compare it to - it excels, but once you get into free competition - Picassa wins out. I looked at iPhoto for a while on a G4 mac - and its ok - but not great.

* No Bonjour Sharing which iPhoto supports.

* The workflow is great - which I don't see in iPhoto. * It doesn't move my photos around - it works with the structure Personally my preference is still Picasa for the following reasons. I have used both Picassa and iPhoto, as well as other PC Apps and Graphic Converter for Both Classic and Mac OS X. It is really a great thing having an Intel based Mac that you can have the best of both worlds. After all I have spent a few dollars on my new Mac and definately want to be a Mac user. I will certainly give IPhoto, and all other Mac apps a fair try though.

Once it becomes stable, I will definately install it.
Picasa for mac os 10 software#
To have Parallels and Boot Camp both installed meant installing Windows twice until just recently when Parallels announced that their most recent Beta software would recognize the Boot Camp version of Windows. I did purchase Parallels with my computer but haven't installed it yet. Whether I will be able to store an entire photo collection and share it, I am not sure. I tried passing one file between the two systems and it was successful.

I have subsequently installed several Windows programs and all went well.

I have just installed Boot Camp and Windows XP Pro and it installed without a hitch. Not unlike what I read about Quicken, another program I use a lot and likewise will probably stay with the Windows version. Apparently the Windows version is much better. There is a Mac Version of Photoshop Elements available but after having read User Reviews it is a poor port over to MacIntosh. I agree that I probably would be happier running the Mac version and quite frankly, running everything Mac. Thank you for the welcome and the response. But I think you'll ultimately be better off when you are more comfortable with OS X and run mostly or exclusively Mac apps. And I believe it is possible to set iPhoto 06 to allow you to manually manage your photos, storing them wherever you want.įrom what I've read, people are really enthusiastic about Parallels' capabilities. Of course, I "only" have ~1500 photos in iPhoto. I'd suggest giving iPhoto a fair try before you dismiss it. I don't have an Intel Mac, so I'm a bit fuzzy on the details. I'm still at version 2.Īs far as sharing your photos, I believe Parallels allows you to access your data from both "sides", Mac and Windows. You're right, Photoshop Elements is excellent.

Maybe there's a "crossgrade" or whatever that would allow you to get the Mac version for less $. Parallels has definitely made that possible. That's not to say that you could use the Windows version. You'd probably be happier running the Mac version of Photoshop Elements 4.
