End of shoot for Picasa: What alternative software use?

Google announced there a few days: Picasa living its last hours. The image management software will soon be permanently abandoned by the Mountain View company, as well as his former albums online service Picasa Web Albums. Picasa support will end on 15 March. There will be more updates to the desktop software. As for Picasa albums, they will switch from 1 May to Google Photos. But then, who will take over after the end of Picasa, and what alternatives are available for this software? The answer in the next lines.



Google Photos

C ‘ is the easy way especially as Google is pushing in that direction. Photos Google is clearly the successor wanted Picasa. And this service has size arguments: unlimited storage of photos and videos, sync on different platforms and media … We regret all the same that there is no software version of the service since it should automatically switch by page. However, a small software can decide which folders to sync with the platform and then works in the background

Faststone Image Viewer

Faststone Image Viewer is a good alternative to Picasa. Despite its rather outdated interface, the software has several features to highlight. The first is its versatility: in fact, it supports many image formats for management of all types of images on your computer. The software also supports RAW files from most cameras on the market. Faststone Image Viewer uses an organization based on records and also offers some photo editing tools to complete the whole. The software is free for noncommercial use.
