The wonders of Google Picasa 3.5 First the news came out (in English only for now) the new version of Picasa 3.5, which in recent years is my choice for the management of my enormous photo archive. It has everything I need minus a small ridge that absence by using Microsoft Live Photo Gallery and that is the creation of panoramic pictures "pasting" the most clicks. An example is this beautiful skyline of 'Appennino Bolognese.
But it is not strictly
Picasa I wanted to talk or programs necessary to manage the now endless digital photo archives, but the curious consequences of an incredible new "feature": the recognition of faces!
fact Picasa now not only recognizes faces in a photo but is also able to group them and then create albums based on the people. In fact, after a long phase scan of the photos (for my store are 20% after several hours of work) can give a name to faces and have more or less photos automatically "tagged" on Facebook. But this time the tag is automatic.
addition I was impressed by the technology the results of my archive. My thoughts are continually directed to my friend David, always looking for ideas to be included in the scripts. Picasa could give hints to no end. Some examples:
The friend found the site I work
Pianaccio.it therefore receive a lot of material to be examined for editorial purposes. It 's the case of journalism prize in memory of Enzo Biagi held for the first time in 2009. While Picasa for analysis seems to me to see my friend in a photo Romano although a bit 'vented. Control is better, I realize that that very day, when I was not there, I decided to be reviewed. Picasa had discovered between the crowd.
Faces favorite
Picasa seems to have recognizable faces. It 's the case of Bice Biagi that can not possibly escape this software: sunglasses, shades, pictures do not seem to give vent to stop it. It is not the only face "preferred" Even my friends Valerie and Paul seem to never escape. I thought that in a world of remote surveillance (banks, gas stations, highway system, tutors, supervisors and road) these faces could always be found automatically by a computer because "beloved."
Mothers and children can be asked to Picasa to expand the groups of faces found these before you assign a name. The faces seem to be arranged according to their proximity, and then similarity. I'm not sure but I think the fact that my face at the age of 10 years young and my mother's neighbors are not by coincidence.
Always the same woman
photos available for close similarity I see the current girlfriend of my friend and his ex-girlfriend of twenty years ago. So it is true that it always looks the same woman! To me, however, little makeup, do not look so similar ... oh my God .. not very different but if he says Picasa .. Definitely
sisters Laura and Irene ancient inn Alpine Pianaccio . Picasa is confused ... and puts them as being the same person.
