Google

[jack]

Experimenting with Picassa... God, that is in fact creepy. It has the same cheery google interface as google, but with google I like the simplicity. Somehow, raring ahead and searching most of my hard drive, however non-intrusively, isn't what I like. I want to say "do this" and it does this, etc.

And please *don't* centralise any data on google's servers. That's fine if there's a reason for it, eg. with email, and it's probably not *actually* a problem with files on my hard drive, and I don't go to lengths to secure it, but it's actually creepy that my stuff might get easily (if with warning) uploaded to a server and remembered, over encryption I don't control.

Yeah, I figured that out after a bit, thanks. But it still tends to insist on doing things its way, which is nice and easy to use online, and I haven't got used to on my computer.

*shrug* I spent an afternoon working out what I wanted it to scan and what I didn't and then sorting the photos into collections. After that I was happy.

I still miss having photoshop though...
