Been watching your conversation with interest as I have a picture of my grand mother (I think) at a young age, maybe 12 or so and would like to compare it with later pictures of her. Didn't know there was such a program that could do that. The picture was found in the attic of a house that she lived in during the 1930s-40s. . I used to have Picasa but since my computer was reformatted a year ago, just haven't downloaded it yet. Thanks for the info Nancy In a message dated 12/7/2011 12:43:43 P.M.

Thanks for all the interest about my dilemma. I looked at Picassa and evidently don't understand terminology or something...I just didn't see what I was looking for. Can someone give baby steps so I an compare a picture of a (known) great-grandmother aged perhaps 55, with an unlabeled photo of an aged woman? I know some of you guys see 55 as aged, but the older I get the older "aged" is. :-) Lila > From: [email protected] > Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2011 13:14:36 -0500 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [COMPUTERS] Photo comparison software > > Been watching your conversation with interest as I have a picture of my > grand mother (I think) at a young age, maybe 12 or so and would like to > compare it with later pictures of her.
