Google releases Picasa 2

Google has released the next version of Picasa. The software allows you to find, edit and share your photos. It automatically creates categories based upon the folders images are stored in, as well as by date. Create web galleries, photo CD’s; order prints online and posting images to a blog are only some of the features in this new version. You can also create your own categories (labels) to help you catalog and sort your images the way that you want.

Update: Picasa indexed my computer this morning. I don’t know how long it took, but it did go pretty quick. Indexing JPG images was very fast, even larger images. Indexing RAW images took longer though. It doesn not appear to be related to file size as some of my JPG’s are the same size and large than my RAW files.
