Google purchased Picasa a few weeks ago and it is now releasing the Picasa software as a free download. What is Picasa?

One of my favorite things about visiting other photography websites is to find out as much information about the photograph as possible. Things like aperture setting, shutter speed and other information that most digital cameras make available. The information is embeded into a jpeg image thanks to the EXIF standard.
EXIF is a standard format for embedding information about an image into JPEG files. It was popularized by digital cameras, almost all of which store information about each photograph in the files.
EXIF includes Date, Camera Type, and exposure information including aperature, exposure time, and focal length. Eventually all digital cameras will probably have GPS receivers and store location data as well.
