Google has announced the launch of its latest version of Picasa. The Picasa 3.5 which has a popular photo editing software that can be used for tagging and face recognition. Using this free software one can easily tag their favourite Leaning tower of Pisa pictures because this software can easily integrate Google maps into it. This software does not make use of anything use but just builds upon the basic functionality og the previous version.

However it is photo tagging feature which is the highlight of this version. Now the question that arises what is the benefit of this kind of photo tagging. Using name tags one can easily organize the photos according to the names of the people who are present in the photos. Once the tagging is done the user can easily use the tag to get a collection of all the photos in which the tagged individual is present. The user can also use this feature to make photo collages and then probably upload it and share it with others. Also the face recognition feature identifies similar photos and then compiles them all into an album from where the user can pick up the photo and tag it.

And well yeah, this one is absolutely free. All you have to do is go on to http://picasa.google.com/ and download it.
