Picassa has left the building?
« on: April 11, 2016, 20:55:48 »
A few weeks ago, Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) announced that Picasa would be discontinued. The photo app was not removed right away, the company explained that it would start leaving this month and the move would be complete two months later.

Google said it would no longer update or support Picasa after March 15, which is almost two days away. Those who have Picasa will still be able to use some of the features after that day, but the app will no longer receive bug fixes or updates.

I am sure you will find more or better links if you googles

Apparently Google is dropping the photography software altogether.  I wouldn't be surprised if they would stop supporting Nik plugins sooner or later (actually they appear to have already stopped updating them).

I don't think Google is getting out of the photography scene.  Nik has some mobile platform which Google is going to use.
