Picasa or substitute

I have a snap shooter friend that needs a very simple editing program. She wants to add a signature to her photos. I suggested Picasa, but she said she couldn't download it. Any suggestions?

That's because Picasa has been discontinued. I would say go to Google Photos.

I believe this is the most recent version of Picasa. I don't use it, but I have a copy of it.

I wasn’t aware of that!
Is Google Photos a good alternative?

I like Picasa as a photo management system. You can't download it but you can put a copy of the exe file on a jump drive and install it in her machine. I have installed it that way several times. Picasa will allow you to open other programs while you are looking at a picture. I do this with elements and/or photo shop a lot. I have found Picasa more convenient for moving photos around and managing content.

Could someone please explain to me exactly what all Picasso can do to your photographs. Can you crop, lighten, darken, remove wrinkles, change color tone etc, would like to know as much as possible, before I download it, and thoughts on Google photo. I’m a newbie so I need help, 😁.

Every computer has a basic photo editor that will crop, darken, lighten and other basic steps. In Windows 10 it is called "Photos". Removing wrinkles is another specialized process.

Try it and see what it does. You can retouch to remove something like a small wrinkle but in Picassa it will take forever. For that type of thing I use Portrait Professional. Picassa is free, you are risking nothing to try it out. Once installed it will go through your computer looking for photos, it does not make a copy of them. After that use one of your photos and play with it, by clicking on it to open the editor and then pushing all the buttons. If you don't like the program after working with it, just delete it. It didn't cost you anything and your pictures are still there.
