Download Google Picasa 3.9.140.239 / 3.9.140.287

Google has released an update to version 3.9 of Picasa. Picasa, which is available for Windows and 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. The new release is all about the disconnection of Picasa and Google+ Photos.

Picasa (on Windows: in 3.9.140.239, on Mac: 3.9.140.287):
