I have never been a big fan of Google Picasa software. I tried Picasa during the early days when Google first released this little piece of software back in 2004.But I didn’t get hooked up by it unfortunately as I’m much more comfortable with the image management software provided by my camera’s manufacturer. Today, I give it a try on the new version available for download today, version 3.1.

I’m not too sure what have changed till then but certainly I will keep a copy in my computer for quite long this time. It’s the Windows Picture Viewer replacement feature that Picasa provides really appeals me, very useful!

I’m going to talk specifically about this part for now.

With this Picasa picture viewer, we can navigate across images in a folder easily through the image thumbnails (no space wasted, it won’t leave any thumbnail caching files behind like Windows’s)  generated at the bottom of the window.

Of course, we can also zoom in and out easily like how we can with Windows Picture viewer. In addition! We can drag and move the image around just in case we want to look closer on a particular part of the picture.

All these can be done in a breeze with few mouse wheel roll and a few mouse clicks minus the painful experience of using the scrollbars to move the image around.
