Comments on: Google Picasa 3.5 Takes Some Cues From iPhoto ’09 http://gigaom.com/2009/09/23/google-picasa-3-5-takes-some-cues-from-iphoto-09/ Thu, 23 May 2013 23:49:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: John http://gigaom.com/2009/09/23/google-picasa-3-5-takes-some-cues-from-iphoto-09/#comment-357948 Sat, 17 Oct 2009 14:41:21 +0000 http://theappleblog.com/?p=32863#comment-357948 If you have extensive edits in your iPhoto library, I don’t believe they will be imported into Picassa. If my understanding is correct, edits in iPhoto are kept in a database and the original is not touched. Even date changes will not be imported.
If I am correct, changing to Picassa from iPhoto could mean starting all over again!!

You hit the nail on the head. I was about to point out how many assumption Darrell made in his article. The biggest one would be how Picasa had face recognition long before iPhoto. I love iPhoto, but before I had a Mac I used Picasa. The face recognition in it is outstanding. iPhoto’s algorithms need a lot of work to catch up.

And how does Picasa share a name with Flickr? Picasa had always sounded more like Picaso. You know, that famous artist.

I’m unsure about the geotagging, but I know other Google products have been pushing this for a while. I was thinking of getting an Eye-Fi card, now they have a Geo locating card too? That’s probably one of the most exciting mentions in this post.

It just ported the feature to the desktop application, no cue taken from iPhoto at all.

A simple research would have set your facts right…
