Google Picasa kicks ass

After taking just a few shy of 2000 pictures since I've been here in Stuttgart, I've only recently learned of Picasa, a free photo touch up program by Google. I know Adobe Photoshop can do all this crazy stuff, but if you don't know how to do it, it gets a bit overwhelming.
Within 3 minutes of using Picasa, I figured out how to make my photos better. Here is one example.






The left side was the original picture that I took of the Bosphorus in Turkey. On the right side is the new touch up.









Here are the Cliffs of Mohr in Ireland. On the left side is the touch up photo, and on the right side is the original picture










It's freggin' unbelievable. Now I might have to touch up all my photos.
