You will love the fill light slider. Pictures you thought you needed to throw away can be saved. When a photo is dark, just drag the fill light slider (right on the basic fixes tab) towards the right and it will fill it with light!(Tutorial Videos: Basic Edits)

If your original is *really* dark, the fill-light effect will make the photo grainy, reducing the quality.  But, hey!  It can make the difference between a photo that you would just throw out, to one that is viewable!

  1. Great tip…Picasa is a pretty nifty setup….Thanks..

  2. There are some fabulous tools in Picasa. We used to use Photoshop Elements on every picture, but hardly ever any more. I did use it the other day to turn a wall from patched unfinished (and tan) sheetrock to all white, but Picasa can do nearly evrything else, and a whole lot faster.

  3. I am not able to get into the section when I have the tools to edit my photos .how do I get in?
