I do not often get excited about something like this, but I gotta tell you, the new version of Picassa is great and it’s People Find feature is amazing.
Basically, People Find uses face recognition technology to find faces in pictures. It isn’t perfect, but pretty good. Then it lets you name those people and then it goes and hunts down every picture you have with that person in it. And it is pretty darned accurate. What an easy way to organize pictures of people.
Probably the biggest problem is that if you have four kids under the age of 6, and three of them are blond girls, and all four are related, it sometimes can not distinguish the baby pictures real well. But those things are easy to fix, as is adding people that People Find doesn’t recognize.
LOL – it even found the person in a picture hanging on the wall behind the people I was taking a picture of!!!
Except for the fact that it does not have an image resizing feature, I really love Picassa!
