I guess I should have been more specific, it's a photo suite owned by google which allows categorizing editing, emailing printing and a ton of other stuff.

And much faster than micro$oft$ version.

Totally awesome.

Have you a run spyware checker since you installed it? Does it access the Internet?

I downloaded it last summer and never installed it.

I usually read the reviews posted by this site before downloading software.

Their critique:

Cons: It's a RAM hog. Don't attempt to use this on older computers. I also wish that the export/create functions allowed for more customization. For example, the create movie function doesn't allow you to modify the the title of the movie, which is simply inherited from the album/folder name. Since the title actually is inserted into the beginning frames of the movie, it's a major oversight.

It was bought by google to promote using gmail and hello sharing.

I've been using it since before the Google purchase and it's so easy, even the wife loves it.

Of course it's a RAM hog. You can't have it all.

I wish you could cancel all the mods you make to the pics and revert to the original.

CRTL-S, will save a copy before you destroy. But very good point. It's a little too easy in a way. Re: RAM it's only using 55K here. Firefox is @ 170K

RAM is cheap sometimes, I have a couple computers with a gig on each.

But I do hate those cycle stealers and bandwidth stealing spam-bastards.
