A Future Mock Up For Picasa 3

Dave, over at Picasa Musings does some mock photo's on what he thinks Picasa 3 should look like.

 

Explanation (via Dave): This mock-up is the LIBRARY with 'thumbs only' display preference. This would be the equivalent view to the current library, and picture area can be expanded by collapsing the browser and/or the left side panel at will.

Note: Corrected for grammar.

Dave's whole idea is to make Picasa simpler and easier to use, mainly by giving users more choices and moving some of the tool bars around. You can view more of his mock up's for Picasa 3 over on his web album. 

To Edit Or Not To Edit? (Original Photo)

 

There seems to be a debate amongst Picasa users on whether or not Google should allow them to edit the original image.

Google probably did not implement this feature as they would probably receive complaints from users because they ruined their favorite photo.

Although useful to me, more advanced users would desire the ability to edit on the original, something Palefox has noted here.

Perhaps an extension could be created allowing users to edit photos, but unless Google chooses to do so a hack may have to be invented for this idea.
