![]() ![]() Edit changes (like Fill Light or Cropping) are stored in proprietary Picasa metadata (and would be difficult to migrate) unless you are saving the images in Picasa. You can view them with a program like Irfanview but the implementation is not nearly as elegant as PicasaįastStone doesn't recognize captions or tags but you could move them to the Comment tag in which case they would be visible. Captions and Tags you create in Picasa are stored within your image files. Here is my understanding of the Picasa metadata and the issues in migration (I would welcome corrections and additions from others): Would any of the replacement tools mentioned be able to takeover my file structures and meta datas without any major overhaul? Easy enough to manage, as I rarely need to access old exports. I also transferred the Picasa export folders, the only complication being that the fresh installation of Picasa made a new export folder for new work. ![]() Picasa is still very much alive and well.Ībout a year ago, I merged image files from two computers, putting all the various folders under "My Photos". Once the Picasa "save" icon is clicked all editing goes back to Windows Pictures and FastStone. In a dozen years I have had no problems with Picasa which is my go to photo software. It's free and although a bit more tedious to use it does very well for basic file and editing work. Sigh, can't hold your breath with technologies. Would any of the replacement tools mentioned be able to takeover my file structures and meta datas without any major overhaul? A few years back I had similar problem when Palm PDA went belly up and I had to find a replacement. I do very little image editing with the exception of cropping and increasing fill-lighting. Then I edit captions and move to new folders, as well as cherry picking good shots into various albums. Within Picasa, I resize resolutions, export them and replace them in the same folder. Remarkable - I do the exact same steps!! I always copy new images to one same folder so that Folder Manager only has to scan 1 folder. I will occasionally edit an image using some other program. Email selected images from the export folder.Export from Picasa at the desired resolution.Do whatever Editing/Resizing/Export is required.Open Picasa, and the new folder is there in the catalog, arranged by year.Import to from the SD card to that folder.Make a folder for the new batch of images.I tend to do everything IT in a compartmentalised manner with very little program integration/interfacing. ![]()
