Free alternative to Picasa?

blueskin · 05-15-2011, 07:27 PM

Hi,

Is there any software that runs on Linux that is similar to Picasa?
I mean, it must be very easy to use, and it must let the user do the enhancements that a Picasa user would like to do to images.

It would be nice if it were free as in speech, but beer is OK also :-)

(I installed Picasa for my wife some time ago, but the amount of bugs has been driving me insane...)

Thanks a lot!

I'm not quite sure what Picasa is, but if it's to manage your photos, try F-Spot, DigiKam, or Shotwell.

In the past, I used to use Shotwell. Worked great for me!

well if you do not want to use Google's MS Windows only tool in wine
access picasa from your gmail account

i took one look at the tool in wine and uninstalled that p.o.s.
