- When it comes to organizing, editing, and sharing photos, most Mac users know iPhoto. But Google offers Picasa, a free photo editing and sharing app that rivals iPhoto ‘09.
- All forums Mac Talk Change forum iPhoto '09 vs Picasa 3 - which is the best 'free' photography software for Mac? Started Jan 2, 2010 Discussions thread.
- I found Picasa's face recognition mechanism works better than iPhoto. IPhoto displays message that I have 28000 unrecognized faces and offers me to confirm faces only by five, not mentioning that it suggests completely wrong names. Comparing to Picasa iPhoto learns faces slower,hope Apple can improve that.
Top 5 iPhoto Alternatives 2020 for PC/Mac by Jenefey Aaron Updated on 2020-02-26 / Update for OS X Since Mac OS X 10.10.3 released, Apple Company showed Photos for OS X, but for iPhoto users, it would not be that happy. In this post, we have discussed the differences between Photos and iPhoto app on Mac. Some people believed Photos is the iPhoto alternative. Based on our introductions, you might understand that Photos is a new utility for new version of Mac OS. Compared to iPhoto, Apple has changed the look, navigation, performance of Photos, and the way it works.
Google's blog is announcing the release of Picasa for Mac at MacWorld. Even though they've previously released a Picasa Web Albums uploader and iPhone plug-in, the full-featured free software offers Mac users a way to edit, upload, and share video and images, surpassing iPhoto in feature set and maybe even usability.
You're probably thinking, 'I'm already using iPhoto, so what's the big deal?' That was certainly my first thought too, but then I downloaded the software to test it out, and I changed my tune a bit. Picasa for Mac pulls in images and videos stored anywhere on your hard drive, lets you edit and tweak, save changes, and of course upload them to Picasa.
Picasa for Mac, which is still a Google Labs application (meaning it's not perfect), has a feature set that is pretty darn extensive — it would be almost impossible to list them all — but some cool things you might like include the ability to filter by stared images, images with faces, and movies. You can also batch edit photos, create collages and movie clips, publish to Blogger, take video snapshots, one-click upload to YouTube, and a whole lot more.
And even if you're not ready to chuck iPhoto out the window (I know I'm certainly not), you can still use both tools side by side. In fact, Picasa for Mac lets you run both applications without overwriting changes to your iPhoto library. iPhoto library images, within the Picasa software, are treated as read-only, so any photo adjustments will create a separate copy of the original image.
