No Parent Left Behind

Executive Summary:

Picasa 3 for mac is now in Beta testing (think pre-release).  It is a great download for mac users. It integrates into iPhoto and you can still upload to your iPhoto albums and share them online.  You can also order prints, label all of your pictures, as well as make collages, backup your pictures to CD or DVD, and so much more.

I know you love iPhoto… but give a Google a chance, you won’t be sorry.

Oh and did I tell you?  It’s Free!

Pros:

• Picasa 3 for Mac integrates well with iPhoto
• It makes uploading pictures to other photo vendors quicker and easier than with iPhoto
• Its free

Cons:

• It is still in Beta testing so it may have a few bugs but I wouldn’t sweat it.
• You have to download the program plus a plug-in to get the most out Picasa’s features.
• Nothing else I can think of, just a solid program

System Requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.4.9+
• Intel CPU
• 256MB RAM
• 100MB available hard disk space
