Computer Group Meeting July 5, 2011

In the beginning of 2010 we were using Google's Picasa 3.5 for our instruction classes on photos. We followed the SeniorNet suggestion to change to Microsoft's Photo Gallery and Movie Maker and stopped using Picasa.

After last week's meeting on Photo file management. Art and I re-evaluated the new Picasa 3.8 and found so many improvements that we will be adding it back to our sessions in the fall and updating the old Manual. This will give you the option to use either or both.

The setup this week will be the 2 rectangle tables at one round table with the screen and projector.

Agenda

1. Downloading Picasa 3.8 from www.picasa.com

2. Reviewing new features.

3. Proceeding with "Getting Started"
