NitroDesk now supports Picasa!

NitroDesk has finally added support for Picasa. Makes life much simpler now.

I am a big Picasa fan, and i think it has got the simplest interface for photo management without forcing me into a rigid folder structure. Also, the image processing there is golden.

Now i can click a button in Picasa and through NitroDesk send any number of my photos to any of my albums (or create new albums in) Flickr, PicasaWeb, SmugMug, Live Spaces, FaceBook or ShutterPoint..

NitroDesk must be started and running for this to happen though..
Nice :-)

Photos Uploaded QUICKLY using NitroDesk Photographers Edition

Some quick facts:

• Fan Speed: Can hear it, but not annoying


• HDD speed: Excellent


• Right palmrest warmth: higher than normal, but good for your Carpals.


• App loading speed: Fast with Intel TurboMemory


• Graphics speed for Vista x64 : Blazing

Note: If you plan to run Vista 64, Dont get anything less than 3Gb, Vista x64 on bootup and no apps running takes more than a Gig

Spend more time Clicking, less time uploading..

I am a photographer, at least i like to think that i am.
I take hundreds of pics when travelling, much to the disgust of my family.
But the time i spend shooting is nothing compared to the time it takes me to upload my pictures for the world to see.
You see,

• I have to first open picasa, select the good pictures, upload them to Picasa web.
• Then i login to flickr, select the good ones again and upload them there.
• Then i login to smug mug, up load my pictures there again
• Then comes my Live Spaces account,
• The best ones i put up on Shutterpoint in the hope that some professional photographers would leave me some tips, or a buyer might leave me some cash.
• Finally, if i have time or energy left, upload some to my facebook albums.

If i add up all the minutes i spend setting up and shooting, it will probably just be a fraction of the time i spend uploading.

All this, of course until NitroDesk came along :-) (http://www.nitrodesk.com/)
Using the free BETA version, now i can select my good pictures once, select one or more destination online albums and let the computer do the uploading. It could take the whole night for all i care, but in the morning, i know my photos will be where they deserve to be..


Oh wait, if i change my mind, i can always transfer whole albums from one service to another.
And later, when i suddenly realize i cant find my best photos on my computer anymore, i can always get a backup of my entire online assets from any of the sites i have uploaded them too.


Boy, am i spoilt now !
