What kind of program is Picasa and Gimp?

Picasa - this is a program Google has made for the average person to easily edit images with a click of a button. This takes very little learning to do although it cannot do as much as GIMP. Although you must download it, this can also organize photos on your computer for you. It can also find faces for you to tag. This is very good for organizing photos. GIMP - a FREE open source photo editing software just like Photoshop. This will take a little bit more time to edit photos. It will also take more time to learn how to use although there are a lot more tutorials for it now than before. This will be more time consuming but the picture will be more likely to turn out better. I have made a website with tutorials and pictures I have made. Check it out: thegimpking.blogspot.com
