Google's Picasa is seeing updates on both the web- and desktop-based versions of the popular photo management application. The biggest new feature is coming to Picasa Web Albums in the form of people tagging, a Facebook-style tool that lets you tag faces in your photos by name and then view pictures of that person by simply searching. The difference between this and Facebook is that Google identifies all of the faces in your pictures automatically ...

While Flickr's home- grown uploader already adds a "Send to Flickr" to your context menus, it still requires opening its interface and confirming the upload and photo details. Sendto Flickr, after a first-run authorization, just gets one or more selected photos up there. The ...

Photosynth, a Microsoft Live Labs project previously available as a view-only tech preview, now lets those signed up with Windows Live to upload and create their own multi-photo walk-through panoramas. The webapp, which requires an 8MB software installation on the user's side, can stitch together dozens or hundreds of photos and then let viewers "walk" through them, altering perspective and creating entirely new views from the details of all those shots. That means you not ...

Windows/Mac/Linux (Adobe AIR): Free Adobe AIR application Flump downloads all the photos from a user-specified Flickr account to your hard drive.

Search engine Facesaerch displays photos of people's faces related to your search term in a CoverFlow-like interface. Built using Google's image search—and using its little-known imgtype=face search parameter—Facesaerch is better at finding celebrity photos than your regular Joe or Jane. However, an image search for a gender-ambiguous name you've never heard before—like Priti—is great way to figure out if it's more commonly used for men or women, and Facesaerch is the perfect application for that. ...

Blogger Tom Hole details an image editing technique for turning a digital photo landscape into a tiny planet. To start off you'll need to create a 360-degree panoramic photo. The author uses a shareware app called PTGui to create the panorama, but we've covered how to create panoramic photos with free software already. Once you're there, the author describes how to process the panoramic pic with either GIMP (the free, open-source photo editor) or Photoshop ...
