Picasa 3 finally gets Ken Burns effect
by Chris on Sep.29, 2008, under Tech
I’ve long been a fan of Google’s Picasa image editing/viewing software, but have found it lacking in one area; The slide shows were very static, and lacking the dynamic pizazz of iPhoto’s “Ken Burns” effect.
Well the beta release of Picasa 3 has included this much anticipated (to me at least) feature! It has the rather inane name of “Pan and Zoom”, but I guess it will avoid some lawsuits.
Another nifty addition (I don’t know if Picasa 2 had this though, I just discovered it by accident) – If you have dual monitors, and activate the Picasa screensaver, it will show separate images on each screen – now you can view your Lolcats in stereo!
