With Picasa 3, comes a new Photo Viewer which is quicker and more focused. According to Google’s software engineer Clay Wood the latest Photo Viewer has been designed to work better and provide fast image viewing.
Users can have a full screen view by just double clicking on any of the snaps. Furthermore they can quickly rotate any image, star it, upload it to the Picasa Web Albums drop box, run a slideshow along with other photos in the similar folder, etc.

The new Photo Viewer also allows users to quickly zoom in and out while viewing snaps using mouse scroll. With the ‘More Options’ button you can send the image to the printer, blog or any photo editor.
The Photo Viewer can be added while installing Picasa 3, and if you want to turn back to earlier photo viewer, you can also do that easily. If you already have Picasa 3 but don’t have the latest Photo Viewer, all you need is to go to the ‘Tools’ and then click ‘Configure Photo Viewer’.
Picasa Web Albums is certainly getting better with a lot of cool options coming to it such as credit on user photos if re-used, image upload using email, etc. With these features coming in, it would not be surprising to see more of these soon.



Picasa 3 Photo Viewer is wonderful, BUT, integrating it into Picasa3 features in the absence of instructions is tough. Sometimes when I am using Picasa3, with or without double-clicking, there is Photo Viewer. At other times (could be a Picasa 2 labelled Picasa 3), Picasa 3 Photo Viewer won’t deploy, OR fastens on one image of its own choosing!!!
Am I doing something wrong? Obviously, otherwise it wouldn’t deploy at all, but it certainly would be nice if Picasa 3 gave me a little box marked “use Photo Viewer” or “Don’t use Photo Viewer.” Yes, there is a page asking me which extensions I want to employ PV in, but it SEEMS not integrated with Picasa3 or PV.
Sure, a techie can tell me “It’s so simple,” but please give the novice a break. It’s good PR for Google/Picasa3.

OK, I stumbled across a reference to fact that Picasa3 Photo Viewer gives me a full screen. True! I can do that with UPLOADED images.
But a previous PV deployed itself in an impressive way: pops right out of Picasa3, with a stream of other images ahead of and behind it. That’s the PV I want (though like the full screen “version” as well).
