Why is Google not flaunting Picasa for mac?
I love Google’s Picasa as it is one wonderful image organizer and offers decent image editing options. After coming back from Tata Jagriti yatra, I had thousands of photographs to share with the world and I was thinking of uploading the photos to Picasa Web Album. For ease of use, I decided to use web uploader for Mac, as I was still under the impression that Google hasn’t released Picasa for Mac.
I was pretty surprised to see that Google has already released Picasa for Mac, although they are not talking about it on the Picasa Web Albums. They are still promoting the old plugin for iPhoto or just the web album uploader. They are not talking about the full-fledged Picasa for Mac.
The software is pretty similar to its windows counterpart and has all the features that you can see in the windows version. It syncs pretty nicely with iPhoto and thus becomes a must use for every mac user. I’m more than impressed with Picasa and I believe that most of the mac users will simply drop iPhoto, once they’ll use Picasa for Mac. However, one small thing that will not make many mac users happy is that it’s not a universal software and thus is available only for Intel based Macs.
The software is available for download over here – Picasa for Mac.

In my opinion, Picasa on the Mac wouldn't be nearly as compelling because it probably wouldn't be that much better than iPhoto… I think the Web Albums uploader for iPhoto is plenty…
