Wow, I thought Picasa was just some lame gimmick

[dugweb]

I don't know why I held out for so long, I usually adopt Google's new stuff fairly quickly. But I just got done installing and playing around with Picassa2 and that is a friggen amazing program!

It has been years since I've seen some of the pics it scrounged up from the barren wasteland of my 300gig HD. And what-more, It was very enjoyable browsing the super smooth interface checking out all my old pics. I especially enjoy rotating the pics

Random pic I found this evening. That was inside a 'haunted' house. Pretty creepy crap actually, many of the rooms had a bunch of piles of crap everywhere, but there was one room (the room just to the left of where I'm standing) where it was totally empty except for two chairs in the center of the room on top of a big black circle painted on the floor :Q It looks bright in there, but that was just because of the flash, it was creepy dark

Anyways, the moral of the story: Everything Google touches does in fact turn to gold.

[Schadenfreude]

fireplace - that was crazy because behind him looks like a bunch of blood, but we didn't notice it until we went home and looked at the pics, so we went back later that night to check it out again. I'm still not sure what that red splatter is. You can tell how dark it was though because of how terrible the red eye is (we look so spaced out in all the pics)

empty room black circle - that was the empty room, I can't remember why exactly but we moved the chairs outta the circle... we found that book my bud is holding in that room as well. I can't remember what was in the book to long ago.

wierdest paint job - just random blotches of red paint all over the place. Walls all painted black

EDIT: front of the house it had a wierd stained glass pic on the front door, I think it was supposed to be Jesus, but it looked way screwed up

i sitllhave not instaleld it but i think my sister uses it. i still use acdsee which is freakin awesome but not free

Just make sure that if you're using dual monitors, and have the full screen video function turned on, that you disable that function. When picasa browses through all the videos, it will cause the full screen mode to activate and deactivate very rapidly, causing the monitor to switch resolutions very rapidly. It almost broke my monitor.

:thumbsup: for pics of a haunted house!

And yes, Picasa is pwn.

I have about 150GB of pictures on my comp. I think picasa would be scanning for two days straight just to find all of the pictures.

Most of it are artsy model shots.
sample pic
Basically these guys scans like hudreds of these japanese photobooks and posts them on newsgroups. I generally download them in a batch of 1-2GB at a time.

 

[edro]

Does it still install a stupid .ini file in every single folder that contains a picture?

 

[Mickey Eye]

Don't think so.

 

[DivideBYZero]

V cool house.

Certainly not that I've noticed.
