The updated version of Picasa imaging software which brings quite a few goodies like: • Face movie feature • Picnik integration • Batch upload to Picasa Web Albums • Properties panel • Metadata updates • Under the hood Face Movie Face Movie is a new Picasa tool that does pretty much what it says and that's to 'create' a movie from images available, using as common ground a person's face. Here what you need to do is to select several photos of a particular person from your library, choose a transition style, slide duration, and video dimension. The interesting thing is that Face Movie keeps that person's face stationary throughout the movie.

Through this application, users can now upload multiple photos and multiple albums at once from Picasa 3.8 to Picasa Web Albums.
