Windows : Google app for images/photography?

Zirax · 17-01-2010, 23:11

I've just gone blank for the moment... can anyone remember the name of this app? It searches your machine automatically for jpgs and allows you to manipulate them really easily. It's like a basic photo editor but makes everything really simple. I am 99% convinced it is a google program but I just can't remember what the hell it is called!

Not much to go on but I know what the app looks like, I just can't remember the name of it. Anyone have any ideas?

Picasa

You absolute diamond! Brilliant

That's been bugging me as I just couldn't remember the name of it. On the offchance is there any other apps you would recommend for simple photo fixing / editing? This will be going to my grandad for use with his photography (basic) so something that will allow you to tweak without going overboard on settings.

My thoughts are Picasa and then when he is feeling more adventurous Paint shop pro automatic stuff (where it allows you to preview).

iPhoto

I quite like it.

I used to use Picasa but it did something funny with my photo's folders which put me off using it again

Gimp will probably be a bit advanced then?

I was having a play with PAINT.NET (nothing to do with ms Paint) last night seems pretty good but not overly complicated
