Download Picasa 3.9 with Google+ Sharing and 24 New Effects

It’s been more than seven months since Picasa received an update. But now it comes with a slew of new features. As “sharing” through social networks is the dominating activity on the web, this is also what Picasa adapted to.

As such, it added the possibility to share your photos to your circles as well as upload name tags on Google+. If someone in your circles has not yet signed up for Google’s social network, they’ll receive an email to view your album in Google+.

However, photo editing has not been left aside, and Picasa introduces an army of 25 new effects, which are listed on this page.

A very important feature is side-by-side editing, which allows you to compare pictures or different edited versions of the same image. WebP support has been added and you now you can migrate your database to a different drive (it’s an experimental feature, though).
