Thing #20

I looked at Picasa under "Photos and Digital Images."

It says, "Google's photo sharing service comes with excellent software for editing your pictures" and I found this to be true. The editing is very easy to use, and I like that the software is free. I tried out the cropping and some of the other editing features, but would like to try to make a collage too.

I could use Picasa to edit photos taken at library events to improve the quality of the pictures. I would like to get photos of library activities posted on our web page. We have a photo release form for patrons to sign. I guess I need to know if we take group photos of activities and no one in the photo is identified, can they be posted without permission from everyone in the shot? I try to take photos of all of our kids' programs, but then they sit on the computer and we don't currently use them for anything. I think that kids would enjoy seeing themselves on our web page, and maybe it would increase the number of visitors to our page.
