Please please please help! Something i thought would be repetitively easy, has turned out to be a nightmare.
I have used Picasa for years on pc with microsoft. It was a simple and easy to use manager of my photo's with simple easy editing, like cropping, and adjusting brightness. I used it in my business to store and edit shots I'd taken for my website and could print out family photo's 4 on a sheet of A4. It was an old program but it worked.
Then Google took it over and then retired it, so its gone
I started to look for a replacement. I would be spoilt for choice i thought, must be loads of great programs out there to replace Picasa, for the everyday person like me who does not use Apple software on PC, but does have photo's to backup, store and print out, who is not a professional who needs Photoshop. I've been looking on and off for a year! I cant find anything that does the above and works?
I am now using Elements, as a stop gap which i think is appalling. I cant pick 4 photos and print them on one sheet. So if i want to print 20 6 x 4 photo's, on photografic paper, i have to use 20 sheets! Every time i try and down load all my photo's from my iphone, it crashes? I even gone to an IT company to look at it, who say there is an issue with the downloading a lot of photos from an iphone, but it wont give you the ioption to down load half at a time or smaller batchs.
Also elements converts all my pictures on the pc to its own format. and it has lots of bugs.
Please put me out of my misery and show me an app / program that will manage my photo's, allow me to do simple editing, will print 4 of more images on one sheet, will let me save high res images, smaller so i can use on my website and generally not be overally complicated. i'm happy to pay for for it as well. At this stage i would almost pay anything just to get this done and dusted and not have the frustrasting annoyance i get every time i have to do something to a photo and Elements opens!
Thanks all.
