Gmail today introduce an enhancement how its handle videos and photos from Picasa, Flickr and Youtube. The new lab feature, will enable photos sent from Picasa and Flickr as well as video from Youtube to be shown within the email itself, without leaving Gmail in order to view it.
In order to enjoy this feature, yYou have to enable it from setting -> lab and enable the setup one by one.
This is how Flickr photos sent to my Gmail looks like.
Same goes to Youtube, but it works even better. You can play the video directly from within that email. So do you think this cool?
1 interesting feature in Google Image and Picasa 3 that I discover recently is how you can filter the search result to show only face images.
It is quite amazing how the algorithm to identify this is, So let say I search for keyphrase ‘Google’ and below is the result with and without the filter. Erm, Bill Gates is part of Google too?? Lol!!
Barely 2.5 months in Beta, Picasa 3 is officially released. There are bunches of new features and enhancement in the new release. For a start, you’ll be amazed with how Picasa automatically assembled photos, images and other media in your local hard drive.
To lite photo editors like me, the enhancement of red eye fixes which took only 2 steps is extremely easy, as well photo editing to remove minor blemishes and distraction from the photos.
There are also more ways to organize photos now. You can create photo collages, create wall paper, make video slide shows, short movies, video presentations and etc.
Sharing the photos ias breeze. You can email, send to Youtube, or upload it to Picasaweb. There is alo ‘Sync’ function in which if enabled, will automatically sync photos in your computer to your Picasaweb account on the net seamlessly.
There is also screen capture function which save the screen shot automatically to your Picasa. Not that it can match to SnagIt, but it is better than to do it 2 steps in a traditional way (usual print screen).
More curious?? Head to picasa or watch video below for details.. Already familiar? Download it.
