A photo editor and organizer from Google that is available as a free download. A unique feature is its ability to use the same image in multiple albums without duplicating the file. Photos can be tagged as "Gold Star" favorites, which can be searched independently. Collections of photos can be made private by adding passwords. Google acquired digital photo management company Picasa, Inc., in 2004. See Google. See also pICAsso.
