More Picasa tutorial videos

Atomic Learning made available at techLearning a number of parallel videos showing how to do the same operation to photos using either Picasa on Windows, or iPhoto on the Mac.

The videos are all in the QuickTime format, which requires installing a player to watch them on Windows, though I guess that most Macs should cope with the format already.

The operations covered are:

• Importing Pictures from a Digital Camera (Picasa 2 / iPhoto 5)
• Reducing Red Eye (Picasa 2 / iPhoto 5)
• Straighten a Crooked Photo (Picasa 2 / iPhoto 5)

These were published in January 2006, so relate to the older version of Picasa, rather than to Picasa 2.5.

These videos are part of a wider set of short videos about Picasa available direct from the Atomic Learning site.  There are two additional free videos there

• Understanding the Library View
