I’ve been using Google’s Picasa photo organizer and editor software more and more recently. It’s by no means as powerful or flexible as Photoshop, but it handles cropping, contrast and color correction (and the occasional sharpening) that I find is mostly all my photos need. [That's an awkward sentence, but I don't have the patience to correct it tonight.]
Here are a few before and after shots to prove Picasa’s powers. The first is a photo of my son sleeping. The second is a test I ran on one of Jennyanydot’s (from The Common Room) pictures. (If you’re not already, you should be reading The Common Room every day.)
