Since we're doing grammar...
"Remember too I did say I am not perfect". There should be a comma after too. Remember too, I did say...
Commas are very important. There's a bit difference between...
Let's eat, Grandma. and
Let's eat Grandma
Correct punctuation saves lives.

Thanks Bob. I appreciate your constructive criticism as well.

Special thanks to the punctuation police, the grammar gestapo and the spelling troopers.... What's been SOOOO entertaining about this thread is that every last petty "criticism" has itself contained typos, punctuation errors and grammar issues.
At this point, I've forgotten what the original question was!
Oh, wait, it was about sharpening in Picassa....
I would guess that the software is older than the Nikon model mentioned, so the s'ware doesn't recognize and support the camera.
AFAIK, Picassa hasn't been updated in quite a while. There have been rumors that Google is going to do so, but as far as I know nothing has formally announced yet.
Best bet would be to get a more up-to-date editing program. Maybe spend a few $ on Adobe Elements 2018... I see it's on sale some places for $60 right now. It can do a lot more than many of the freebies, plus there's some actual support for it, even the occasional update.

The sharping tool didn't bother me as much as the constant use of periods. I found myself having to reread the post a few times looking for a complete sentence.
Yes I am aware I am not being helpful. I am also aware I am not a perfect being.

Dennis,
I don't see what you're talking about. There is only 1 period in his statement, 2 commas and 1 question mark. I found Pablo's statement to be very readable.

Tom, I don't blame you. We are talking about two different statements. The one stated by Pablo was only about using the word sharping rather than sharpening. My comment was directed toward the OP's post regarding the use of periods. We are not talking about the same thing.
Have a wonderful day,
Dennis

It's good to get off on a tangent once in awhile, like this punctuation thing, just for some fun socializing. I agree that Elements is quite the fine program for the price, especially when it's on sale. Plus it's easy to use. Great program. Gimp just takes a little more practice, but there are tutorials online for just about everything you want to do with it. And it's free!

Need help. When I shoot pictures with my Canon SX50. which I edit in Picasa. I am able to use the sharpening tool on my pictures. When I use my Nikon 5300 and use the sharping tool it will not work. Question is why?
Software cannot really sharpen a photograph that is not sharp to begin with. It can only reduce the fuzziness. A photograph that is in sharp focus appears that way because edges are very thin. They may be only a few pixels wide. If the picture is out of focus, edges may be several pixels wide. A software "sharpening tool" blends the pixels together along lines and or discards some pixels, but in the end the picture, at best, will have a soft appearance. The only way to have a truly sharp picture is to properly focus your camera in the first place.

I disagree. If you use software to sharpen an image, and it looks better to you, that's all that matters. I've sharpened some up for a web site with remarkable improvement over the original. If you are trying to make some distinction between the concept of "sharpening" vs "reducing the fuzziness," I just don't see the point. Using software is sometimes the only way to salvage a photo that can't be easily retaken.
