Download Google Picasa 3.9 build 136.09 / 3.9.11.6

Google has released an update to version 3.9 of Picasa. Picasa, which is available for Windows and Mac OS X, makes it easy to manage, edit and put photos online. The program offers options for straightening the horizon, adjusting the contrast and making a crop, among other things. There is also face recognition, which makes it possible, for example, to quickly show all photos that contain a specific person.

New in version 3.9 is, among other things, the possibility to share photos on Google’s social network Google+, where people can also be named directly in the photos. Furthermore, various new edits can be applied to images and it is possible to edit two images simultaneously, side by side.
