Picasa & Me!

Today I downloaded Picasa...and I have been on here for hours! But, I really like the ease of use...cause I ain't no techie! The only thing is, it didn't really have all the effects I am looking for. I want a really grainy, faded, antiqie look. I'm not sure yet the correct name for it, but I see it alot...and love it! Oh well, I will search around for more photo editing programs on the WWW! If anyone knows of a good, free program please leave a comment and let me know...
Thank you!

    I would recommend GIMP. It is a free version that is similar to photoshop

    Your pictures are beautiful Nan! I use PicMonkey. Many effects are free.

    I haven't tried Picasa though I have heard great things about it. I do use PicMonkey and love it. There are a lot of free effects on it. Cathy

      Hi, Cathy, They're both easy to use, or I wouldn't be using them...I have to have simple! I used Ribbit too...I think I spelled that right...so far PicMonkey was the easiest. I'm going to try the others that were recommended also. Thanks for looking!

    I use pisca for personal collages, I've never used it for my blog I don't think but I completely agree with you. You have that freedom of placing things anywhere you want and as much as you want. I love it. However for my blog graphics I use Picmonkey, Canva, or Polyvore.

    Hi Jazmine, I know! Isn't it fun to play around with all this stuff? I took a lot of pictures on Tuesday of my Grandparents old house...I grew up living beside them and I got some shots of the simple little things that I remember most about growing up there. It's been empty for a few years now and is in bad condition...but the memories are still there. My parents still live in the house I grew up in next door to my Grandparents so I still get to see the old place. Thanks for visiting!
