Picasa For Windows 10

Windows

This has been asked many times around the net but I've yet to find a suitable answer. I have thousands of photos and currently I use Picasa Photo Viewer when viewing photos in Win 10 Explorer. It's (IMO) an excellent, non-intrusive & very fast way to view my pics.

Latest Version Of Picasa For Windows 10

You don't need to open any application other than Explorer, just set Windows to use Photo Viewer as a default. It will also slideshow your photo folder and zoom in & out using just the mouse wheel. Although Picasa has a photo organiser and editor I never use them, preferring Lightroom, Bridge & Photoshop. But now I hear that Google is retiring it in favour of Google+ which is a totally different thing.

Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers attempt to trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a Microsoft Agent or Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an official Microsoft global customer service number.

I just wasted another half hour trying to answer this question via Search, found the question posed many times & been disappointed with the answers.

Google Photos For Windows 10

Yes, so is Picasa but I only ever use the stand-alone Photo Viewer. So Photos is the answer I was looking for. Now, all I need to find is a method of changing the slideshow speed (something that Picasa Photo Viewer lacked). Thank you all for your help.

How to install the latest version • Check your version of Picasa by going to Help > About Picasa • In the 'About Picasa' box under the Picasa logo is the version and build number • If your version is earlier than the final version 3.9.141 build 259, do the following: • Locate the latest version of Picasa.exe file (see section above) and run the installer over your previous version • You don't need to first uninstall your present Picasa version • The installation process will find the existing Picasa database and photos on your computer. • Your photos exist on your computer and will not be harmed or lost during an installation • If Picasa fails to install, then uninstall your present version, go to Tools > Options > General tab. Under Automatic Updates, change to 'Don't check for updates' then click OK. Install the latest version of Picasa.
