Picasa is free photo management software from Google that helps you find, edit and share your photos.

Once you start Picasa, it scans your hard drive to find and automatically organize all your photos. The left-hand list in Picasa’s Library view shows all the folders containing photos on your computer and all the albums you’ve created in Picasa. The right-hand side of the Library view displays visual thumbnails of the photos (and movies) corresponding to the folders and albums in the folder list.

You can use basic one-click fixes to improve almost any photo, adjust color and lighting, and add any of twelve effects.

If you need only to browse and/or retouch your images, Picasa is not the ideal application; you should use Picasa only if you need a full photo organizer.
