When I used Picassa a year ago any editing I did was not automaticly
recognised by any of my other photo edit programs. Unless they have
changed this you wont be happy when you open your photos in another
program to do finer edits and maybe even printing. I spent days
editing only to find I had to do it all over, going to Picassa sup****t
group was no help as the answer I got last year was it would be alot
of work to save changes that would be recognised by other programs, I
dumped picassa
