Google is set to launch late Tuesday a new feature in its Picasa photo management application that will let people organize and share photos over the Web.

Picasa Web Album initially will be available only to a limited number of Gmail users at http://picasaweb.google.com, said Adrian Graham, a product manager at Picasa.

Picasa, technology Google acquired in 2004, is free downloadable software that lets people find and edit photos on a desktop computer and send them to others from a Gmail account or publish them on a blog.

Dear Picasa user,

Today, we're excited to announce that we've begun testing a new
feature for Picasa called "Picasa Web Albums."

Picasa Web Albums is designed to help Picasa users quickly and easily
upload their photos to the web and share those photos with family and
friends. Picasa Web Albums is intended for use with a new version of
Picasa that has a "Web Album" button and includes web uploading and
downloading capabilities.

As part of our test, we are offering Picasa Web Albums and the latest
version of the Picasa software by invitation only. If you'd like to
give Picasa Web Albums a try, please add your Gmail username to our
first come, first serve invitation list at:
http://picasaweb.google.com

Once you receive your invitation, you can create a Picasa Web Albums
account, and then download the new version of Picasa. This version of
Picasa is not currently available for download from the Picasa site.

For more information on Picasa Web Albums, please visit:
http://picasa.google.com/web/help.html

Thanks for your continued support of Picasa! We look forward to
receiving user feedback on this test feature, and to making both
Picasa Web Albums and the new version of Picasa more broadly
available soon.

Thanks,
The Picasa Team

i will try it soon
