Show Notes

- In Picasa, open a photo you want to edit and double-click on it.

- It's now in a window and on the left are all your editing options.

- There are three tabs in the editing window: Basic Fixes, Tuning and Effects.

- On the Basic Fixes tab you find things like cropping, fixing red eye and adding text to your photo.

- You can also make adjustments to the lightness of the photo or try and retouch it.

- On the Tuning tab you can adjust shadows, color temperature and more.

- On the Effects you have some neat effects like making the photo black and white or sepia tone.

- If you ever change your mind you can always undo or just click Cancel.
