I have been waiting for 2 years for Picasa to come to the Mac. When I left my Windows notebook for my MacBook Pro I felt lost without Picasa. iPhoto 06′ paled in comparison in my opinion to Picasa for central and easy organization of photos. iPhoto 08′ made me feel a bit better but I still greatly missed Picasa and its ability to scan multiple folders and automagically create a beautiful interface for my photos. I used iPhotoBuddy to create multiple libraries in iPhoto and to connect to photos on my home server but it still wasn’t the same.
To my joy while I was looking for Picasa 3 for my mother’s notebook while doing are-install I figured I’d Google “picasa for the mac” just to see what new rumors wereabout. To my suprise I saw the beta for the Mac was available for download! I seeit came on officially on the 6th but I hadn’t checked lately. It was like a secondChristmas in mid January!
So here’s a screenshot:
I’m letting it index all my iPhoto libraries, documents, and desktop now. THANK YOUGOOGLE!!!
