Problems with New build Picasa 3
|
On the 26th March I posted a download page for the latest build of Picasa 3.
If you have the previous build I would recommend you keep it. For the time being at least. With the new one I encountered many problems. Sliders that wouldn't slide, cropping, etc... I have reverted to the old build.
Anyone else affected ?

Thanks for posting the problem, I haven't yet been prompted to download the new version, I still have 3.1.0 (Build 70.73.0) which I presume is the previous one to what you are talking about? I tend to any editing in Photoshop, quite hard but I am still trying!!
Thanks I will now be wary of trying the new version.

Hi Anne. I use Photoshop too. With some easy jobs though, Picasa is so much quicker. I can be in>do the job> save and out again while Photoshop is still loading ! ha ha!
Also, being a blogger, google mail, google, picasa, and blogger.com are all interlinked and so handy. Just read your 'boo' comment. Thanks.
cheers G

I've been using build 71.18 in Vista for quite some time now with no problems at all.

We may be talking at cross purposes Greysts. I am confused by your use in Vista for 'some time' . I thought Picasa 3 Build 71.18 was only released around 24th March. I don't mind at all if I'm mistaken - it has been known !
But reverting to the earlier build solved the problems I was having. Mainly, the sharpening slider refusing to be dragged, and the cropping was quite unstable. And I don't think it is my machine, because the problems were the same on my laptops, and my wife's laptop too.
Perhaps I downloaded a dodgy copy. I'll try with it again. But I honestly can't see what the 'improvements' are anyway. From your experience of the newer version, is there much difference ?

I fully accept that Greysts. Just wondering though, if you have actually tried using the 'sharpen' tool, or 'crop' without experiencing any problems. Those were the only items I was finding troublesome. And I did try both perhaps 4 times, just to be sure it wasn't a one off glitch.
And, after reverting to the previous build, the problems were no longer manifest.

Thanks a mint for that link Fusion. I suspect Greysts thinks I've been making it up.
I s'pose I should have checked that forum before bleating here, After all WU isn't a photo-manipluation form is it ?
