Picasa2 (free from google) is not a product that can compete with Photoshop but it is a VERY good product. It's very good to organize and catalog your pictures and for very basic fixes (crops, straighten, red eye). Very fast and it doesn't use a lot of your PC resources. I use it very often until I have to get the big guns out (Photoshop CS2) On Google’s office… The BIGGEST problem is that you MUST be on-line to use the product. That is a serious limitation to the product.
