bringing this thread back... any thoughts between iPhoto '09 and Picasa? What's better?
and... what about Picasa vs Flickr?

picassa good for syncing - really fast. also good with gmail and better to use both online and offline. Flickr is a better community which is a shame because it's slow and not that good.

Flickr is good for people having a blog. To store linked images.

Picasa is a free photo managing software from google. It has been out on PC for like 8 years.

- google's been around since 1998 as a corp, 1996 as a student project.zarkonite
- but picasa was bought by google so it's been around longer.zarkonite

Adobe Bridge is good, but under Windows it just crash a lot.

right now, i don't use either. but i am a google fan and am drawn to their continued integration... seems smart. my biggest need is to get photo galleries of trips and such up easily and quickly. seems like i see Flickr a heck of a lot more out there.

I wish picasa came with a Flickr plugin. That's all really.

Been waiting for a very long time for this. I just got a mac about 2 mos ago and have been getting familiar with iPhoto but missing many features from Picasa. Now I'm just seeing what's new in iPhoto before I install.

flickr is so slow to upload, picasa just syncs in the background, flickr doesnt sync. Picasa does have a flickr plugin

Picasa works so well that my girlfriend can now browse through, correct and convert my .CR2 files and put them online. I don't have to process any of our vaca pics anymore! yay!

I use it to catalog snapshots and family photos to keep them separate from the work I do in lightroom. The gmail integration is makes sharing snaps with family super EZ, even my mom has it dialed.

Picasa is a piece of shit just because it wont let you hotlink the uploaded pics.

Anyone tried it yet? I use bridge / photoshop / flickr + finder / preview - used to like this for PC though. Never been able to get to grips with iphoto.

I don't mind either Picasa or iPhoto but I've never figured out what people are talking about when they say Picasa does more than iPhoto. Can someone highlight the differences?
