First, 'The Rant' -
I use Google Photos mainly BC it's a great storage tool, where you can scroll up/down to a 'year' that you want to check out, and there they are! - There is a 'Share' Button, BUT, - There is NO Provision to R.Click,& 'Copy' a photo to share on email, or use for anything! - (when I try, they want the recipient to have a 'Google Acct.' in order to Share, and Good Luck using it for any other reason!) -
I hope that a fellow Hogger will help make a fool of me, and explain the workaround!

Second, - Do any of you have suggestions as to a Simple, 'Picasa' type Photo Editor for simple things,
- such as Cropping, Straightening, Lightening, Darkening, Highlights, Shadows?
Picasa was the perfect tool for everyday photos and snapshots, even tho I have Lightroom, (4), and Photoshop Elements 2021, Picasa was so easy, simple, and had the basic adjustments for 95% of photos I'd like to share, Not to mention that you could 'Share' directly to E-Mail with it as well! - - (OK, I 'mentioned' it!)
( LR 4 is all I could deal with when I first got it, & now I can't Upgrade to 6 w/o a Subscription to Adobe)

So any help from anyone out there in Hogger Land, would be MUCH appreciated! - Thanks, Pat
